Villa Murlo, Siena

 

VILLA MURLO, SIENA, ITALY

  • 5 BEDROOMS, 5 BATHROOMS

  • SWIMMING POOL

  • FAMILY-FRIENDLY

The villa has been lovingly converted by its interior designer owner into an unusually light and airy property with lots of character and local antiquities. Walking into the elegant hallway, with its wide staircase leading to the first floor, a contemporary painting by a well known Kenyan artist looks equally well at home with family pictures and a battered panama elegantly draped on a walking stick! The space and diversity of its endless living areas, both inside and outside, means that guests will be reluctant to leave and spend endless days savouring the experience. Wisteria-covered pergola and courtyard for breakfast in the shade. The house is surrounded by garden, with endless corners to sit, snooze or read. Yet another “outside room” a converted barn complete with chandelier, has steps leading down to a formal area surrounded by lawns and a particularly large (fenced) pool, from which there are views to die for.

A hugely elegant sitting room running the full width of the house provides a fabulous entertaining area, the centrepiece being a huge working fireplace surrounded by deeply comfortable white sofas, an ecclectic mix of artefacts and paintings, and a massive tapestry on the wall. From here, one enters a very large kitchen and dining area.
