Holiday Home Description

Villa Beata A is a splendid apartment that covers the entire top floor of an ancient country manor made of stone. It sleeps 12 people. From Villa Beata A you will enjoy a charming view of the Tuscan countryside and of the hills. Villa Beata A is 350 square meters (3770 square feet). It features a private swimming pool, a private garden and winter heating.

You will be roughly 1 km (0.6 miles) from Rapolano Terme, where you will find restaurants, the shops and the stop for the local bus.

Villa Beata A is located on the first floor of an ancient villa. You will reach it from the parking area going up a short walkway that cuts through the garden.

To stay at Villa Beata A you will need a car. You will be able to park it on the premises, in a reserved parking space.

Villa Beata A is an apartment located on the top floor of the seventeenth century villa, which is the main building of the country estate. As you approach the villa, you will pass through a beautiful antique gate, and proceed along a characteristic Tuscan avenue bordered on both sides by tall, slender cypress trees. This tree-lined avenue will lead you towards the principal façade of the villa. You will find yourself in front of a square stone building, the central façade of which is refined by two open arched loggias. The entryway is dominated by the stone-carved coat of arms of the noble family of the estate.

Between you and the villa, there stretches a large green lawn, marked by symmetrical pathways and decorated with large terracotta urns in which perfumed lemon shrubs have been cultivated.

You will find yourself before a harmonious example of Tuscan architecture of the 1600s, still intact for our enjoyment today. Inside the villa, you will find elegant and spacious rooms.

The apartment has six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, positioned around a great hall.

The center of the villa is a Great Hall, its ceiling decorated with a large family crest. In this room, you will find an imposing stone fireplace and a large table. From this room, you will be able to step onto a beautiful arched “loggiato” or open gallery, from which you can enjoy an expansive view of the surrounding hills.

At the villa there is also a small, romantic seventeenth-century chapel, which you may also visit, as well as a second private pool for your exclusive use.

Villa Beata A is one of the holiday homes available in a small complex. Please find a general description of the complex below, and please scroll further down for a description of Villa Beata A.

You will spend your vacation in an ancient, typical Tuscan farming village, near the summit of a small hill, 350 meters (roughly 1150 feet) above sea level. The hamlet consists of six stone buildings, distributed around a large villa dating back to the 1600s. Today, though, they have been renovated into five apartments, also used for vacation rentals.

The villa and the surrounding land, as far as you can see, have belonged for centuries to an ancient family of Tuscan Counts, and are still part of a single large agricultural estate.

All around you, you will see land planted with rows of grapevines, alternating with areas that have been cultivated with olive trees. In the distance, the foliage of a small oak forest interrupts the cultivated landscape.

And it is in this peaceful setting that you will spend your vacation! As you stretch out in the sunshine, your view scans across an uninterrupted horizon of gentle hills covered with vegetation, or comes to rest on the simple and elegant architecture of the complex.

The small hamlet is at the center of a large agricultural estate, of 300 hectares (about 740 acres), and during your stay at the complex you will be guests of this estate.
