The Villa, which is built on the highest hill of Farneta (AR), maintains the characteristics of the original architeture dating from the early XIX century, with a dovecote, typical of the era, the red brick arches separating the main room of the ground floor, the fireplaces and the wooden-beam ceilings, the XIX century tuscan style furniture. The living-rooms offer the guests a pleasantly relaxing atmosphere after a trip to discover the "pearls" of the valley. The rooms are all different, one from the other, and are furnished with great care with period funiture yet endowed with every modern comfort. From the flower-filled terrace of the swimming-pool and big gazebos the guests can view of Val di Chiana and of its enchanting sunsets can be enjoyed.

The Villa rises in an area where you find the antique tastes Tuscany, but also of Umbria and Lazio. The Relais offers it's guests a "gastronomic tour" in which original and fantasy recipies are blended, thanks to prestigious cooks capable of interpreting the "poor" cooking of the peasants and that of the Renaissance.
