Tuscan Villa
Bid high on this week for four people in a private home nestled in the hills of the romantic Tuscan region of Italy! Each Casa features at least two bedrooms with views of the rolling countryside, gardens, and the Tuscan hillside. Amenities include one or two baths with showers, a kitchen, and a lovely living room area. The grounds consist of 2 acres filled with regional foliage including lemon and olive trees, lavender, yellow mimosa, cypress trees and all of the natural colorful vegetation.
The Casas are situated in the ancient hill town of Manciano with its senese styled fortress. The area that is known as the Maremma embraces and lavishes enchanted beauty and tradition like no other place. The Maremma is the southern coastal area of Tuscany only 1 ½ hours from Rome, 35 minutes to the Tyrrhenian Sea, 2 ½ hours from Florence and Siena. The natural thermal spas are only minutes away! Yes, this is the land of the mysterious Etruscans that thrived in this precious area of southern Tuscany and left for us millions of signs of their fascinating civilizations.
The in-town home, Mira Bella, built in the 1920's, offers the enjoyment of Manciano right at your doorsteps.
Dates are subject to availability. The owner will do everything possible to accommodate the schedule of the guests. There is no expiration on redeeming this offer.
