Elegance and lusciousness are personified by this 7-bedroom villa located just a few kilometers from the Montalcino village, known as Villa Lavacchio 14. The number 14 denotes the number of guests that it accommodates, since Lavacchio itself consists of similar properties with only different occupancy sizes via the bedrooms that differentiates one from the other. The Italian owner, himself an architect and interior designer, has restored the residence that fully respects the Tuscan tradition and furnished it with personalized, self-designed furniture pieces with antique items. The property itself is made up of a main stone-built farmhouse on the estate and a guesthouse, which are tasteful, luxurious and sophisticated thanks to the impeccable interior design mastery of the owner. It is not surprising that the photos of the villa have been published in many interior design magazines, and the outdoors continue to beckon with 360 degree views of the countryside and highlands of Val d’Orcia and Crete Senesi.
There are 7 bedrooms at this villa that are spread across the main residence and the guest house. Built of 2 storeys, the ground floor of this main farmhouse features a double bedroom with a 4-poster bed and an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub to boot, while upstairs on the first floor, is where the Master Bedroom is with its 4-poster bed and ensuite bathroom with bathtub as well. There are also 2 double bedrooms on this level, one of which has its own ensuite bathroom while the other one shares a bathroom also with a bathtub with a twin bedroom. All rooms here on this floor are fully air-conditioned and 2 more portable units can be provided upon request. Over at the guest house meanwhile are the 2 remaining bedrooms to sleep 4 pax, namely the twin bedroom and a double bathroom with each ensuite bathroom for both.
A quiet location where this villa is nestled certainly bodes well for guests, who can get to enjoy and savour some outstanding countryside views in serenity, such as the Val d’Orcia and Crete Senesi that are regarded to be among the most beautiful areas of Tuscany. A large rectangular swimming pool measuring 15m X 6m is most appealing to take a swim or long dips during long summers, and surrounding the perimeters of the property is green, grassy lawn as well as the strip of sheltered terrace furnished with lounge chairs that guests could sit around and have conversations, or do nothing at all.
The indoors have been restored with such tasteful and elegant style and with full respect to local Tuscan traditions, thanks to the owner’s background as an architect and interior designer. Guests will be pleased to notice the impressive blend of furniture, some of which he personally designed and some being antique pieces. With aged wood as the ceiling beams matched against walls in dark yellow as well as red sofa couches, these certainly do much to hold up the interiors like a masterpiece of art, evident in the spacious and huge living hall that comes with a stylish fireplace and which opens up to the outdoor patio. Equally superb and marvellous in style and design are the open plan kitchen and dining room with the lovely wooden dining table and wooden doors.
The staff and housekeeping team will carry out 15 hours of compulsory cleaning service per week, and guests have complimentary WiFi Internet to connect with friends and family or even post on social media thanks to the very Instagrammable spaces throughout this property.
Villa Lavacchio 14 is located just a few kilometers from the village of Montalcino, and in an area renowned for its excellent wine production.
