Casa Boronia

Rooms description

All three bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with shuttered windows and air conditioning. There are two doubles and a twin which alternatively can be made up as a double. Wooden floors and ceiling beams complement natural materials and soft greens and blues, while Scandi-style armchairs and fabulous mattresses enable guests to rest and relax in style.

There are two bathrooms, an en-suite with a shower and then a family bathroom that includes a bath. Both have high-end fixtures and fittings and enough space to set out your own things.

Boronia’s kitchen is a beautiful, expertly equipped, open space that is full of light thanks to its double windows and doors to the garden. Made by a local carpenter, the wooden units celebrate the house’s location and offer ample storage. An impressive Boretti stove as well as a freestanding marble-topped island and a Saeco espresso machine make this a fabulous kitchen to cook in while the wide opening into the living room connects it as a social space, too.

The spacious ground-floor living room is decorated in a light, contemporary style. Locally made furniture sits alongside pieces by well-known brands and includes a beautiful round dining table as well as enough sofas and armchairs for everyone to spread out in comfort. In summer there is air conditioning or guests can open the doors to the veranda and the outside dining and seating area. In the cooler months there is a big open fire, central heating and bookshelves to browse, making it lovely and cosy. On the lower-ground floor there is another living room. Smaller and tucked out the way, it’s cool in the heat of summer and quiet, and the desk makes it the perfect spot if you need to work. There’s also a TV and a super comfy sofa bed.

On the lower-ground floor there is a laundry area with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Your villa and Covid-19

To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
• To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
• To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request
• For the swimming pool: to guarantee the efficacy of the water treatments, while respecting legal limits (the parameter for free active chlorine in the pool is between 1.0 – 1.5 mg/l; combined chlorine ≤ 0.40 mg/l; pH 6.5 – 7.5 or equivalent oxygen)
• For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
