Located on a lovely hillside, overlooking the verdant valleys and rolling green hills for which Tuscany is so well-known, and just 11km from the famous spa town of Gambassi Terme, Villa Belvedere is a gorgeous stone villa in Tuscany. The name Belvedere refers directly to the breath-taking views offered by the villa and, in addition to these views, the property also boasts a beautiful garden that spreads out over 1000m2 and features a private pool and ample outdoor furnishings. With interiors that are full of character and four bedrooms with three bathrooms, sleeping up to eight guests in total, this gem is a perfect oasis where you can enjoy privacy, peace, tranquillity, and untainted natural surroundings.
In addition to the town of Gambassi Terme with its natural thermal springs and modern spa facilities, Villa Belvedere is also located close to the beloved and famous medieval town of San Gimignano, which is just 13km away. Siena, Pisa, Chianti, and Florence are all within easy day-trip distance and longer excursions to the Tuscan coast or even to Rome could be undertaken by the more adventurous travellers to really make the most of their time on vacation in Tuscany and Italy. Custom tours of the surrounding area can also be arranged by the villa owners at an extra fee and upon request – a great way to really get to know the area through the eyes of a local!
Upon arrival, the pretty villa impresses but it is definitely the lush garden that first wows guests. This is a garden truly designed for enjoying the good life – taking long meals al fresco, hanging out by the pool, sipping your morning coffee while reading in the leafy shade, and enjoying great Tuscan wines and excellent conversation with your travel companions as you watch the sun set over the verdant valley below. Every element has been considered for your pleasure with thickly planted lavender making evenings even more atmospheric with its scent, rows of loungers positioned by the pool but pointed to the view so that it can be enjoyed as you work on your tan, more loungers in the shade for those being careful, a gazebo over the table to make dining outdoors more pleasant, a large outdoor sofa for comfortable lounging, and more.
Of course, much as you might be tempted to, you can’t really live out in the garden. The villa, however, absolutely brings that same level of comfort, appeal, and charm indoors. Guests can expect an endlessly lovely and very typically Tuscan villa that boasts gorgeous features like exposed-beam ceilings, spacious rooms with high ceilings, lots of interesting works of art, a mixture of modern and vintage and antique items of furniture, an eclectic country chic aesthetic, and a warm and welcoming plush atmosphere.
On the ground floor, you have the large kitchen with all the mod-cons you could need (fridge-freezer, dishwasher, separate stove top and oven, coffee machine) as well as ample counter and storage space, a dining table that seats all eight potential guests, and an exit directly out to the garden, making it easy to bring meals al fresco. There is also a living area with a sofa and armchair as well as a television on this floor in addition to the first of the bedrooms, a double en suite room.
Then, on the first floor, you will find two larger living rooms. The larger of the two could be considered a main space with a massive fireplace, and that displays a masterful use of lighting, wonderful combinations of colours, and tasteful use of accessories and decorative elements. The room also features two sofas and two armchairs, a television, and a door out onto the balcony. Opening from this is the smaller living room with two sofas and a coffee table, which is perfect as a little reading nook or simply a spot for peace and quiet. Rounding out this floor, there are three more bedrooms, all doubles, and two bathrooms, one of which has a bathtub.
