Accommodations
Ground Floor
A glorious 18ft high frescoed ceiling living room offers you an unforgettable welcome when you enter Villa Duca. The sun-flooded room features an open wood burning fireplace and three French doors that open onto the terrace with views of the courtyard and the Tuscan countryside. The recent remodeling incorporates vibrant accent colors and contemporary furniture to counterbalance the traditional architecture, and the striped pattern of the chairs and ottoman’s fabric provides striking contrast against the crisp, clean palette of the walls to give the room a fresh contemporary look. This inviting room is provided with a 47” LED TV with Sky satellite channels, two large sitting areas and a generous book library available on the well-stocked bookshelves. Large eat-in kitchen with breakfast table up to 10 guests and original frescoed ceiling, equipped with American standard appliances. There is a separate den adjacent to the kitchen featuring an additional breakfast table for up to 8 guests and direct access to the portico with a dining table for up to 16 guests facing the front courtyard. A laundry room with washer and dryer completes this floor.
First Floor
There is a home office equipped with a large desk area, computer and printer at disposal of the guests. The formal dining room with a large oval wooden table and vibrant colored chairs for up to 16 guests adds warmth against the neutral palette of the walls. Thanks to three big windows and high ceilings the elegant dining room is airy and bright, looking great for any occasion.
Outdoors
For outdoor lounging and dining, a furnished portico faces the courtyard featuring a charming oval water fountain. An expansive panoramic garden surrounds the villa, perfect to rest and enjoy relaxing time with family and friends and ideal for children to blow off some steam.
The private salt-water swimming pool is bordered by lush landscaping including flowery plants and fragrant rosemary bushes. Towering cypress and palm trees add privacy and a sliver of shade to this distinctive retreat. The sundeck is completed with comfortable lounges, umbrellas and a dining table for wonderful poolside meals.
