Villa Lucia

Enjoy stunning views of the Tuscan countryside and Monteriggioni from this historic estate in the region’s most sought after locations near Siena.

Location

The estate is 1 mile from the walled medieval village (now pedestrian only) of Monteriggioni where you’ll find several restaurants, a pharmacy, gas station and a café. A healthy walk (30 minutes) the village of Monteriggioni can be reached on foot by crossing through fields on dirt roads; or by car in 4 minutes.

Historical records of this estate date back to 1234 and some trace ancient Etruscan ruins, still visible today, to the year 1056. All around the Villa and Italian-style garden are several buildings of the ancient hamlet that once housed the farmers, the workshops, the oil mill, wine cellars and the stables that made the estate a self sufficient village. Some of these farm houses have been transformed into elegant and comfortable apartments for peaceful holidays, while the farm itself still produces wine and olive oil. The owners currently live in the top floor of the main villa year round, and are available to attend to the needs of the guests and provide invaluable advice on local towns, restaurants and activities.

Distances: Monteriggioni 1 mile, Siena 8 miles, San Gimignano 18 miles, Florence 39 miles, Pisa 93 miles, Rome 168 miles.

Property Details

The villa on the estate is surrounded by woods, vineyards and olive groves, and with its final transformation in 1700 was converted into the holiday residence it remains to this day. It is included in the list of National Historical Buildings and enriched with gardens and fountains both on the front and back of the building represents a unique and prestigious example of family estate. An arch connects the two identical buildings of the villa, each of which has a distinct purpose: one, with its large drawing rooms and bedrooms, is the residence, while the other contains the wine cellars that produce Chianti Classico and the ancient barn whose airy spaces are now used for social events hosting up to 300 guests. The estate can be rented all together to accommodate 36 people (wedding planning available). The Villa sleeps 8, the Farmhouse sleeps 16 in 3 units, and the Cantina sleeps 12.

The Villa is particularly well suited for couples and small groups that love art and that seek a vacation entwined with the quirky and richly detailed historical heritage of 17th century Villa Stomennano. It has a private garden with pool and view on Monteriggione, 16th and 17th century furniture, a library, ballroom, several sitting rooms, a frescoed dining room, 3 luxurious bedrooms and one twin bedded room, 4 bathrooms, screens on the windows and wireless internet.
