A proposito di questa villa struttura in affitto
Siena Exclusive Luxury Villa. Private Pool, Garden, Relax, Holiday, Tuscany!
Villa Santa Chiara is a 17th-century Tuscan property set on a hill just outside Siena's ancient city walls, approximately 15 minutes' walk from Piazza del Campo.
The Villa has been carefully restored and is surrounded by a private garden and approximately five hectares of olive groves. Its position offers an unusual combination: the landscape, space and quiet of the Tuscan countryside, with the historic center of Siena within walking distance.
Guests are the only guests staying at the Villa. We, the owners, live on the property in our own separate private area and are available whenever assistance or local advice is needed.
The three apartments
Guest accommodation consists of three independent apartments: Wine Red, Honey Yellow and Olive Green, each with its own entrance from the garden and only a few steps from the others.
Together they offer 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, accommodating 14 guests in the bedrooms, with 2 additional single sofa beds for a maximum of 16 guests.
The arrangement works particularly well for extended families and groups travelling together: the apartments provide independent living spaces, while the garden, pool and outdoor areas allow everyone to spend time together.
The three apartments have different layouts, which are described below.
Wine Red
Wine Red is arranged over two floors, connected by internal stairs.
The living/dining area and fully equipped kitchen are on the ground floor. On the first floor there are 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
One double bedroom can be prepared as a twin bedroom upon request.
Honey Yellow
Honey Yellow, the largest apartment, is arranged over three floors — ground floor, first floor and second floor — connected by internal stairs.
The living/dining area and fully equipped kitchen are on the ground floor. The sleeping area occupies the first and second floors, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in total.
There is also a single sofa bed for one additional guest.
One double bedroom can be prepared as a twin bedroom upon request.
Please note that one bedroom is on the second floor. Its bathroom is not ensuite and is reached through the living area.
Olive Green
Olive Green has a different layout. Its entrance is reached from the garden by an external stone staircase of 12 steps.
Once inside, the apartment is entirely on one level, with a living/dining area, fully equipped kitchen, 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
There is also a single sofa bed for one additional guest, and one double bedroom can be prepared as a twin bedroom upon request.
Garden, pool and outdoor living
The apartments have direct access to the garden or are reached directly from it, with lawns, flowers, Mediterranean plants and olive trees.
When the entire Villa is booked, a large veranda provides a shared dining area where the whole group can sit around the same table. A fully equipped BBQ is also available.
The swimming pool is open from May 15 to September 30. It is primarily for guests, although we, the owners, may occasionally use it as well. Our own living area is separate from the guest accommodation and private.
The sauna and heated spa are open from November 1 to April 30. The cold spa is open from May 15 to September 30.
And yes, there are also our chickens — very much part of life at the Villa.
The estate and the views
Villa Santa Chiara is surrounded by approximately five hectares of land with some 500 olive trees, from which we produce our own organic extra-virgin olive oil. Our olive oil is also available for guests to purchase.
From the property, the view to the south extends across the Crete Senesi and Val d'Orcia towards Mount Amiata. To the north is the Siena skyline, including Porta Romana, the Basilica dei Servi, Torre del Mangia and the ancient city walls.
The setting is remarkably quiet considering its proximity to the city. One of the pleasures of staying here is returning on foot after dinner in Siena to the silence of the garden and the Tuscan night sky.
Siena and the surrounding countryside
One of the historic gates into Siena is a few minutes away on foot, while Piazza del Campo is approximately a 15-minute walk from the Villa.
Siena's museums, churches, restaurants, cafés, shops and wine bars can therefore be reached without a car.
For exploring further afield, the Villa is also well positioned for the Chianti region, the Crete Senesi, Val d'Orcia, wineries and historic Tuscan villages.
During your stay
We live at Villa Santa Chiara and are happy to assist with restaurant recommendations, practical arrangements and suggestions for exploring Siena and the surrounding area.
Upon request, we can arrange private dinners at the Villa, cooking experiences, wine tastings, truffle hunting and other local activities.
Claudia, Anna's elder daughter, is a licensed professional tour guide for Siena and the surrounding area and is available for private guided visits.
Villa Santa Chiara combines the independence of three separate apartments with the shared spaces of a private Tuscan property — and the rare possibility of experiencing the countryside while staying within walking distance of the center of Siena.
Three apartments. One garden. One Villa. Siena just a few steps away.
