A typical day at La Colombaia holds a variety of options. One can rest by the beautiful stone-lined pool and sunbathe to the gentle sound of the white doves cooing in their nearby dovecote. For those wanting some peace and quiet there are plenty of tranquil spots where one can sit and read, or simply absorb the view and atmosphere of this most beautiful of places. The more energetic can play Bocce (Petanque) on the houses own shaded pitch or there is always tennis on the astroturf court.

The interior of the house is an appealing blend of comfort and elegance. One can either choose to eat in the large dining room or for more informal meals there is the fully equipped and welcoming kitchen. In the evenings there is the ground floor drawing room where there is a television or one can retreat to the spacious library upstairs.

The bedrooms on the ground floor all open out onto the gardens and terrace which is ideal in the summer months. Guests will love the en suite master bedroom with its own dressing room, en suite facilities and balcony overlooking the countryside with sunset views. From the huge dining room, french windows lead out to south facing terraces and the pool.

With a renowned restaurant within a brief walk and an excellent cook service available at the villa, guests might find it difficult to get out and see the rest of Tuscany!
