Beautiful luxury Tuscan villa with private swimming pool dating back to the 17th century. Villa Luna has been carefully restored preserving its ancient charm and original architectural features and has been turned into an elegant villa providing all modern comforts and offering beautiful interiors furnished with antiques.
Villa Luna is situated in quiet and panoramic location, between Florence and Siena, only a few kilometers away from the lovely town of San Gimignano and from the Chianti region.
A nice large outdoor area furnished with a pergola is accessible from the kitchen and is ideal for al-fresco dining surrounding by the peace of the Tuscan landscape.
ACCOMODATION: the villa is 300 square meters and can accommodate up to 8 persons in 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. It extends on two levels.
All the internal areas have been furnished with both modern and classical, traditional, Tuscan pieces, which blend well with the antique “cotto” floors and the beams in the ceiling. The big kitchen includes dishwasher, stove, double American fridge with a lovely fireplace.
As in all original peasant houses the kitchen was the most important part of the house, where the family gathered to enjoy those original, Tuscan dishes which can also be enjoyed by the guests on request. Moving on into the lounge-room, it is easy to understand that the person who restored the house has done so with great care and passion. All the antique materials put together with the “know-how” of long ago and with attention to modern, comfortable living. The care for detail is amazing. The fireplace, with its great stone mantle, the stairs and window fittings in carved pietre serena, the decorated walls. Above the loungeroom there is a studio with 2 divans which can be turned into two comfortable beds.
Still following the original idea of the country house, there are three bedrooms (two doubles and a single) with wooden floors. These are on the first floor and are reached by a stone staircase. One of the bedrooms has a large door which opens onto a spacious terrace from which you can overlook the garden and pool area.
The three bathrooms have nothing to do with “antique”, but everything that the modern technology can offer. Nothing is missing, not even the hydromassage, but the cold technology is softened by the same warmth that you find in the rest of the house.

GARDEN & SWIMMING POOL: The well cared for garden which surrounds the house , insures complete privacy and leads to a large swimming pool , positioned so as to enjoy the best views. It is clear that the pool has not always been there , that it has been “added on” , but the blue surrounded by the well kept lawn is in perfect harmony with the rest of the house. The pool is surrounded by dark wood,a delightful sensation on the soles of the feet, and you can enter the pool from there or from the divingboard-. The important thing is to enjoy the freshness in the heat of the Summer sun.
