Le stanze sono tante e di tipologia differente, facili da adattare alle vostre esigenze. I bagni ampi e su tutti i piani della villa. La cucina, equipaggiatissima, grande e moderna, si estende all'interno del giardino, dandovi la sensazione di trovarvi all'aperto anche durante i mesi invernali.
Il tavolo da ping pong in sala si trasforma in un grandissimo tavolo da pranzo!
C'è un ampio portico da cui si può vedere il castello e il giardino è recintato, quindi anche il vostro cane è benvenuto!
La villa si trova a 300 metri dal piccolissimo borgo di Abbadia Isola, su un tratto dell'antica via Francigena (ancora oggi percorsa da turisti e pellegrini). Il supermercato più vicino è a circa 4 km, mentre Siena è raggiungibile in 12 minuti in auto (e Firenze in 45).
E' anche il posto perfetto per partire per delle indimenticabili passeggiate a piedi o in bicicletta attraverso la natura, i boschi e i fantastici colori della Toscana. Al castello medievale di Monteriggioni si arriva con un comodo sentiero attraverso i campi e all'ombra del bosco, passeggiando per 25-30 minuti.
