VILLA DESCRIPTION

LA CIPRESSINA is a picturesque 6 bedroom villa that sleeps up to 15 and offers a full Tuscan experience.  The villa has breathtaking views of Montepulciano and Cortona and is surrounded as far as the eye can see by vineyards that produce some of the finest wine in the region.  Originally built in the 1850’s as part of a large wine and olive oil producing estate, the villa has recently been carefully restored, respecting the traditions and original materials of Tuscany.   

Today, the owners of LA CIPRESSINA carry on the tradition, producing a boutique wine and olive oil.  As part of the experience, visitors of LA CIPRESSINA are invited free of charge to take part in a wine tasting with the owner, who not only makes wine but also is a graduated sommelier trained in Montalcino, Tuscany.   

Also free of charge, guests of LA CIPRESSINA will find a welcome basket of breakfast items and kitchen ammenities. A fruit orchard on the property is available for free snacking anytime, and there are varieties that mature continually May through October. All cultivation processes are strictly organic.

The villa is decorated with a timeless, classic Italian style that combines country charm with modern luxury such as air conditioning in all bedrooms, and spacious bedrooms and showers.  There is a WiFi network, TV and DVD player.

On the ground level there are 3 large air conditioned bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, a family-style kitchen with large six burner stove and the ‘great room’. The great room is characterized by brick arches that span the length and width of the room and connects two living room areas and a dining room with comfortable over-stuffed furniture that provides a get-together point for families and friends.

Upstairs, is found two more very spacious air conditioned bedrooms both with generous in-suite bathrooms (one with a large corner bathtub and shower). Also, upstairs is another living room to relax and second fully equipped kitchen with fireplace and grill.  Finally, the sixth bedroom, also en-suite and air conditioned, is located in a guest cottage next to the main villa, and with a small living room and sofa bed sleeps up to three.
