Villa "La Contessa" is a perfect venue for an unforgettable stay in the heart of Tuscany. Located 35 kms south of Siena in the \'Crete\', the building dates back to the 17th century. It was most likely used as a stop-over for travellers on their way to Montalceto (a nearby hot spring). Villa La Contessa is perched on a hill overlooking the countryside and the towns of Siena, Montalcino and Mount Amiata. Still owned by descendants of the original nobility, this magnificent villa was under renovation from 1995 to 2000 and is now available for rent.
