Villa Calasso

Description

Originally a monastery right back at the start of the sixteenth century, Villa Calasso went on to become the summer residence for the friars of Monte Oliveto Maggiore. Located in amongst the rolling hills of Siena, Villa Calasso has incredible views across the valley, best enjoyed poolside with a drink in hand!
The property has been beautifully renovated while retaining its original features with beautiful stone floors and curved ceilings. Divided into three apartments the villa offers groups travelling together privacy and plenty of space. Each apartment has its own kitchen and access to the landscaped garden and pool area.
The swimming pool boasts breathtaking panoramic views and is well-equipped with chic sun beds. An al fresco dining area is the perfect spot for socialising where you can get the BBQ blazing and enjoy some fresh local produce.
