The Villa
One enters the villa into the main hallway, which leads one to the grandiose staircase that winds up three floors, creating the central axis of the villa. One is immediately struck by the light airy ambiance, the high ceilings and the flowing spaces of this Tuscan villa.
To the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen-diner with access to the garden; the high quality kitchen area boasts marble surfaces, a range oven and wooden features. The principal room to the ground floor is a large reception room with sitting and dining areas as well as an impressive fireplace and access once more to the garden. A guest powder room and laundry room are also found on the ground floor.
To the first floor is the master suite entered through a beautiful double doorway with stained glass detailing. The master suite provides, in addition to the sleeping area, a walk-in closet, a balcony overlooking the valley and en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath and marble finishings. All the rooms on this floor have high ceilings giving a feeling of elegance and space. To the other side of the hallway on the first floor one finds two further bedrooms with shared family bathroom with shower and a separate study which could be used as a bedroom.
On the second/top floor are three more bedrooms with a shared bathroom and a large games room with charming exposed beams and traditional Tuscan fireplace.
A spiral staircase also leads to a roof terrace from where the views can be enjoyed across the valley and of the medieval town of Montecarlo.
