Villa Petrea is a building in typical heighteen-century
style, with all
four walls in stone and lying at the edge of Chianti in the village
of
Bucine, at the start of the road that goes all the way down the valley
of Val d'Ambra and along the edge of a large part of the sienese Chianti
region.
The villa is on the top of a low hill surrounded by cypresses
and centuries-old olive trees.
It has been completely renovated to bring the interior comfort up to
the standards of the beauty of the building and the result is decidedly
high-quality.
All of the bedrooms have their own bathroom, satellite-TV, telephone,
internet access and air-conditioning, and a bedroom on the ground
floor has also been equipped for the disabled.
The interior is entirely in typical tuscan style with some antique pieces
and with high-quality furnishings, the kitchen is well-equipped and
comes complete with dishwasher.
Outside, besides the private 7x14m swimming-pool, there is a
large covered patio furnished with tables and chairs for dining outside
and a mediterranean garden with a beautiful view over the valley.
You can also hire mountain-bikes on the premises or a
local cook who will prepare tuscan delicacies for you at the villa.
The village of Bucine is about 1.5 kms away, and the Autostrada A1 Milan/Rome
about 6 kms. Florence is 40 kms away and Siena 30 kms. Nearby you
will find several excellent restaurants.
