Summary

Villa Nascosta is situated in the heart of the Tuscany countryside, between Siena and Florence, and is the ideal accommodation for anybody who loves nature. Surrounded by sweeping views, a cypress lined driveway leads you a private property situated on 13 hectares centrally located in Tuscany’s Colle Val D’Elsa.  Encircled by luxury gardens, the villa stands on top of a hill and enjoys a breathtaking view over Siena.

The main building, owned for centuries by one Roman Aristocratic Family, dates back to 1400, while additional construction was added between the 18th and 19th century, it was renovated with loving care during 1996 – 1998, transforming the building into a splendid holiday villa in Italy.

The main villa is 1,500 square meters and has 14 bedrooms and suites each with its own distinctive theme and most with en suite bathrooms. There is a separate guesthouse which can be rented giving you an additional 2 bedrooms, and upon request the owner’s private apartment can also be rented providing a total of 18 bedrooms.
