Description The entrance to holiday Villa Petraia is through double steel gates just one and a half kilometres from the village of Sant Albino. A long gravel drive leads down through well maintained lawns surrounded by vineyards and natural forests to the front of the villa. A shaded pergola on a terrace beside the entrance provides a breathtaking view over the valley towards Umbria and eastern Tuscany. The entrance opens into a large and luminous open plan living / dining room and open kitchen, furnished in light tones that expand the sense of space and invite a holiday spirit. For those cooler spring and autumn evenings there is a welcoming fireplace and of course the whole villa is air-conditioned for summer comfort. There are three bedrooms on this floor, two with en-suite bathrooms and the other with a bedroom adjacent to the bathroom. Stairs lead up to the first floor where there are two further bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. All rooms have delightful views and large comfortable beds. There is a large lawn outside the villa sprinkled with olive trees that lead down to a kidney shaped swimming pool with wonderful views over the valley and vineyards below. Occasionally Sylvia and Maurizio may ask permission to enter to tend the vines or prepare something in the cellar, however they compensate by offering a tour of the cellars and a wine tasting for their guests.
