Back to the Large Tuscan Villas

Villa Carmelina is a fabulous, luxury villa located in the heart of Tuscany, between Siena and Florence. The villa, was owned for centuries by an Aristocratic, Italian Family and is surrounded by spectacular gardens, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Dating back to 1400, an additional building was completed between 1700 - 1800. The whole property was painstakingly restored over a 10 year period. The restoration included the completion of en suite bathrooms for every bedroom and the installation of air conditioning in both the bedrooms and reception rooms. The villa is unique in offering spacious, luxury accommodation for a large group of 26 - 32 guests.

Sleeps 26 guests in 13 bedrooms:
2 twin bedrooms
7 double bedrooms
4 suites

GARDEN LEVEL

Exceptional spacious living room, the 'cantinone', in an apple green and velvet-red colour scheme with several sitting areas, all furnished with handsomely upholstered sofas, antique sideboards and table lamps. The cotta floor is softened with tapestry rugs, and several cleverly placed floor 'windows' offer tantalizing views of the Cantina below. The walls are hung with oil paintings. The arched ceilings feature original terracotta. Even in summer, this room remains a cool oasis, rarely needing air conditioning. It includes a CD player and karaoke machine.

Three separate, but adjoining dining rooms, accommodate up to 32 people at circular tables set under the vaulted stone ceilings. These have been designed so that smaller groups can still feel comfortable eating family-style. Each room opens through arched, glass, double doors to the south patio.

The main kitchen, designed for professional cooks, is also open to guests throughout the day for the preparation of food as they choose.

Spacious suite with private entrance, off the garden or through Cantinore, to a large living room with several beautiful paintings, fabric-draped tables and sunflower yellow sofa. A door leads to a double bedroom (Queen) with restored antique iron bed, traditional to Tuscany, finished in red cotton and closed off from an adjacent sitting area by means of red and gold plaid drapes. Two white-tiled bathrooms (tub with wall-mounted shower, partition in each) with views of the countryside.
