VILLA ASCARA

MAIN VILLA 7 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms, Swimming Pool, (Sleeps 12) This ancient Villa is strategically located at 3 Km from the Medieval city of Siena, renowned all over the world for its Palio race, one of Italy's most spectacular and best known festivals, Il Palio is held twice yearly in Siena on 2 July and 16 August, to honour the Virgin Mary. Dating back to the Middle Ages, it features a series of colourfull pageants, much eating, drinking and celebrating in the streets; and - most famously - a wild bareback horse race around Piazza del Campo. This place is surely suitable for a family reunion or also for a celebration of an event like a wedding being also available a large "limonaia" cottage for a fantastic dinner party as also outdoor well equipped areas and an Italian Garden. Entrance is in a big living room with sofas and tables, a dining area with a table for 12 is available in another part of the ground floor area, as also a large dining-kitchen with excellent equipment including a dish washer, two single bedrooms, shower room, separate WC and wash basin, boiler and laundry room, underground wine cellar. The gracious dining-room has glazed doors leading to a terrace where one can dine outside, overlooking the walled rose garden with lemon trees and a lemon house at the rear. A marble staircase leads to a sitting room on the first floor, off which are two twin bedrooms, two double bedrooms, and a bedroom with a small double bed. There are three bathrooms and a dressing room on this floor. The Villa accommodates in total 12 people but another bed can be added on request. The furniture includes many antiques and there is an Art Nouveau atmosphere, enhanced by prestigious draperies and decorative granite flooring. Every room has a TV point and a telephone plug. Outdoor, situated in a corner of the garden there is a swimming pool, in contrast to the house, it is simple and unadorned; but it has a wonderful view of Siena, and serves its purpose for swimming, cooling off and having fun after a long day's sight seeing. The ground floor of the lemon house holds sun furniture for the swimming pool set in the olive grove below the house.  Surely the most important point of the outdoor area is the fantastic garden overlooking Siena where you can enjoy an alfresco dinner under a huge oak tree.
