Rita

Set in the San Casciano dei Bagni area, exactly between Rome and Florence is the beautiful Villa Rita, Val D’Orcia, Tuscany. With a grand entrance and bold lines, it is a very private estate with seven bedrooms, a large garden, and a large array of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The exterior of the villa is surrounded by a veranda where a sitting area and al fresco dining spot are just outside the door. Crossing the large garden, you reach the stone steps that take you down to the pool where the views are endless and look out over the hills and mountains in the distance.

The villa is comprised of two structures, the main villa and a charming annex. The interior of the villa retains the classic lines with arched ceilings and doors, tile floors, and ceilings that feature heavy beams. The foyer entrance takes guests into the large kitchen equipped with modern appliances and featuring a casual dining area, sitting area and entertainment system. The formal dining room is warm and welcoming, and  leads into the study area. There are working fireplaces throughout, and all of the ground floor rooms look, or open, to the view. On the upper floor there is an additional living room with fireplace. The annex also features a living room and modern kitchen along with al fresco dining.

There are two bedrooms in the annex, a double on the ground floor and a twin above. Both are en suite. There is a guesthouse on the premises that contains one double bedroom that is also ensuite. The first floor of the villa is where the remaining bedrooms are located. They include two queen suites with views and luxuriously large private baths, a queen suite with an en suite bath, and one twin bedroom.

The Villa Rita is in a wonderful location and would make the perfect base from which to explore the entire region. Whether with family or friends it has it all and in a beautiful setting.
