Distinguished villa 3km from Siena

Exterior

Villa Le Fate is a distinguished villa situated in the Sienese countryside, just 3 km (1.8 miles) from Siena, and immersed in the exquisite landscape of vines and olive groves. The villa is an old seventeenth century manor house which has recently been completely restored. The city of Siena stands out on the hill in front of the villa, providing a truly breathtaking view.

The garden is undoubtedly a little piece of paradise. It is immaculately maintained and the charming rose bushes and lemon trees provide the backdrop for meals al fresco on the large terrace. There is also a good-size swimming pool surrounded by plenty of sun beds from where you can enjoy soak up some sunshine whilst admiring the panoramic view of the city in your own privacy.

The villa even has its own little chapel, an exquisite building which makes a magical spot for holding weddings.

One of the most exciting events in Siena takes place in the summer bi-annually: the Palio di Siena, the famous horse race, a rainbow of colours. The town also hosts concerts in various delightful venues. Beyond Siena itself, excursions to Pisa, San Gimignano and Florence, to name a few must-see places, can easily be organized.
