Lounging The dining/living room has a music system, an open fire, indoor games and a small library of books for holiday reading. There are guides and maps of the surrounding areas, of famous villas, gardens and other attractions - and an English/Italian dictionary! There is a detailed Information booklet for the villa provided to all guests prior to occupancy, which includes detailed information of the facilities of the villa, of local activities and contacts, local and regional trattorias and restaurants. The first floor has all three bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, and a short flight of stairs leads up to what was the old barn, now an open plan living room with a desk for writing or computer work. It overlooks a valley of olive groves and up to the village church on the hill above the villa. There is a double-sided fireplace separating the writing area from the main living space, which has games, large TV, video player and some english videos and beautiful Tuscan settees. A wooden monastery door leads onto the top terracotta terrace with its outdoor dining table and chairs, grassed garden surrounded by olive grove and yet another great view.
