Our 3-storey B&B welcomes its guests in a charming structure, with elegant spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms. All rooms have been furnished with family pieces of furniture and paintings, but very modern and comfortable beds. You can sleep in a double, twin, single or triple room; all rooms are on the first and second floor of the villa. Due to its ancient origins, there are no lift facilities. The dining room and one of the living rooms upstairs have undergone a restoration that brought back the original frescoes to their splendour. Cut-outs of those frescoes are now the symbols of each room and its keyring, as well as our logo: as children we used to call that `grotesque` figure an `ape rosa` (pink bee).

Outside Area:In the fountain of the villa there is the possibility to have a refreshening bubble massage in summer or a hot bath in winter. The Italian garden which surrounds the villa is protected by the Ministry of Environment and contains typical Tuscan plants such as irises, magnolias, roses and lemon trees in their earthenware vessels. A laurel hedge separates the garden from the orchard with its herbs, and fruit and olive trees. .
