Sleeping at the Limonaia

The “Limonaia” can accommodate up to 10 people. It is so called because it was used as a winter shelter for the lemon trees, which still decorate and fill with scent the Italian garden during the summer. It is the ideal place to relax in the peace and silence of the countryside and an excellent starting point for visiting the nearby places of interest such as Siena, Monteriggioni, the Chianti region, Florence and other less-known but delightful destinations.

It has recently been completely restored, preserving its original character but allowing guests to enjoy the most modern facilities.

Distributed in two floors, la Limonaia can accommodate up to 10 people in 5 large bedrooms.

On the first floor you will find two double bedrooms with dressing room and bathroom with separate toilet, 1 twin bedded room with bathroom, 1 bedroom that can be double or twin according to your needs with shower and a study with sofa bed and separate toilet. Each room is painted in a soft colour (pink, light blue, green, yellow); the furniture that decorates the rooms is part of the owner’s history and has been chosen with care. The combination of the internal decorations with the large windows creates a very bright and relaxing atmosphere. The presence of large wardrobes makes the environment very comfortable and tidy.

All rooms overlook the swimming pool and the countryside. From the windows you can see Siena and Monte Amiata.

On the ground floor you will find all the comforts for a splendid stay in Tuscany. A large living room, a spacious dining room and a big and lighted kitchen where we can also organize cooking classes for you. Under the pergola covered with leaves you can enjoy your meals, read or just sit and take in the beauty and silence that surrounds you. Immerse yourself in the infinity pool that sweeps over Monte Amiata and Siena, play tennis on the property’s court, play golf in the nearby Bagnaia field, stroll in the park, cycle around or simply relax in silence are just some of the possibilities offered by this place.
