Villa Sassolini - Tuscany, Italy
About this Chic Retreat
Villa Sassolini is a charming 14th-century Villa positioned in the heart of Tuscany, at the border of the Arno Valley and the hills of Chianti, in the ancient hamlet of Moncioni. Villa Sassolini has been entirely renovated maintaining the original structure and combines modern comforts with refined hospitality. The staff ensure that you feel totally at home from your arrival to your departure and will fulfil your every wish during your stay.
Accommodation
This trendy, but unpretentious boutique hotel has 7 contemporary rooms and 3 elegant suites situated on the first and second floors, all accessed by a stunning wooden staircase. All the rooms are spacious and luxurious with all modern amenities and contemporary en-suite bathrooms with thicky fluffy towels, candles and aromatherapy bath products. Light, romantic and welcoming, the rooms all have wonderful views either of the Tuscan countryside, the terrace and pool or of the little hamlet. The attention to detail is exquisite throughout Villa Sassolini and many of the rooms have the original frescoes on the ceilings. Soft whites and greys have been used throughout the villa creating a tranquil environment andsmart, contemporary furnishings, softened with the occasional period piece, have created an atmosphere of clean, understated luxury. Even the childrens cots have been designed to blend in with the rooms. The standard double room opens onto a courtyard and therefore does not have a view.
Activities
Villa Sassolini is the ideal base from which to explore the Chianti hills and local Tuscan towns. The Villa is a few minutes from the A1 motorway between Siena and Arezzo and is probably the nearest boutique hotel to the famous shopping outlets! The pool is in a beautiful position over looking the surrounding hills and a herb garden full of lavender and rosemary surrounds the seating area. Outside space is limited so those guests wanting to walk around the property in the evening will be disappointed, however there is now a lovely pool bar which is open between May and October. From October onwards drinks and cocktails are served in the lounge from 11am.
Dining
The restaurant provides a varied menu of dishes using the freshest local ingredients. The Dinner Menu is accompanied by a top level wine cellar with the selection of wine from throughout Italy. Guests have the choice of dining inside or outside on the terrace surrounded by the Herb Garden and the Chianti hills beyond. Room service is only available for breakfast.
Rates
Children are welcome and cots available on request. Children under the age of 3 go free. Over the age of 3 the charge is EUR 20 for an extra bed in low/med season and EUR 40 in high season.
