All six bathrooms are different but share the same level of luxury and the simple decoration of the bedrooms where, for the most part, the original architecture provides the decoration.

The expertly equipped kitchen is located at the front of the renovated chapel and includes a double oven, a six-ring gas hob, a dishwasher, microwave, espresso maker and an American-style fridge freezer. A kitchen table and chairs offers a cosy spot for meals or a coffee inside. Doors lead out to the dining terraces which are shaded, and there is an impressive BBQ set-up here, too.

The chapel maintains its original architecture, including a recently discovered small crypt. An impressive space, it combines a sense of its history with a gentle, peaceful atmosphere. It’s a large room that is furnished with comfy sofas and a grand piano. Its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere makes it a delightful relaxation space, perfect for yoga and meditation. The furniture can be moved around and it becomes a magnificent space for entertaining, whether it’s a wedding ceremony, a concert or a big party, with the large floor-to-ceiling window offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Next door is a dining room that can seat 14 with a woodburning stove for the cooler months and air conditioning for the summer. Doors from the dining room lead onto an outdoor dining terrace shaded by a pergola with a large table that comfortably seats 14 or more guests.

There is a laundry room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and sink on the ground floor of the farmhouse. A sitting room on the first floor has a woodburning stove, comfy sofas, a TV and toys and games for all ages.

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.
