Please note that for certain off-peak periods (see availability and bookings) half the house can be rented for half of the full house price. Each half is entirely independent and has its own entrance, kitchen, sitting room, bedrooms, and bathrooms.

Villa Felceto is around 580m above sea level, with long distance views to Monte Amiata and a handful of villages whose lights twinkle at night.
The house sits on a saddle of land in the middle of the countryside – there are virtually no other houses in sight, and nothing to disturb the eye other than the beautiful countryside of the Val di Chiana.

It has been designed to sleep twelve people comfortably, and to divide in half for two families if required. Each half can exist independently with its own entrance, kitchen, sitting and dining rooms.

At over 500 sm. the house has a very un-crowded six bedrooms, five ensuite bathrooms, and spacious reception rooms. In the winter you can snuggle into a huge oval sofa in front of a log fire, and in the summer the thick stone walls keep the house unusually cool.
The house is entirely furnished with antiques, collected by several generations of the Berry family, and has recently been restored to the highest standards; for instance every floor and bathroom tile has been hand-made. Yet the bathrooms are light and modern, and the water positively gushes.

The swimming, 15m long, is placed down the hill from the house; just out of sight and in a situation of complete privacy. It has been positioned to share the same views as the main house, and to have a shallow infants pool incorporated within it.

If you wish we can arrange for meals to be cooked for you, by our Italian staff, and left in the kitchen so that you can heat and serve them whenever you wish; the wine cellar is also left stocked so that you can help yourself to whatever you want.

There is a big reading library, strong on art history, general history, and novels, as well as Sky TV for those who enjoy it.

The owners have young children and the house is designed to be child friendly; one bedroom is dedicated to children’s needs being cool and quiet, with a cot, and well stocked with books and toys.

Environmental approach: we have decided not to waste energy by having a heated
swimming pool or airconditioning and we find that if the shutters are closed against
the sun the house stays at a very reasonable temperature.

Internet connection; an ISDN line is available and instructions on connecting to the
internet are in the house guide. Guests will need to bring their own laptop.
