Imagine lounging by this pool, with its fantastic view over the Tuscan countryside, just outside your private luxury villa. Villa Pipistrelli is a beautiful and luxurious villa in a secluded hilltop setting near Siena. If you're traveling with a small group of friends or family, a vacation villa makes an ideal lodging choice. At Villa Pipistrelli there are plenty of places to relax together, both inside and out, as well as ample space for solitude.

Villa Pipistrelli sleeps up to ten people in five nicely appointed bedrooms (with twin or double beds), all with private bath. The master bedroom upstairs has its own sitting area in the room, terrace overlooking the courtyard and gardens, and large bathroom with both tub and shower. Another bedroom on this floor shares a common living room with small fireplace.

On the ground floor is a large living room with fireplace (firewood provided), perfect for enjoying a cozy fire with your group in winter, another sitting room, dining room, kitchen and additional bedrooms.

If you enjoy cooking, the villa's professional kitchen is a fantastic place to do it. You can shop at the local markets and bring home fresh, seasonal ingredients to prepare your own Tuscan meals. Your kitchen will already be stocked with six bottles of wine and a bottle of olive oil from Monstigliano. Cooking classes or someone to prepare meals for you can also be arranged.

In nice weather there's a table for outdoor dining in the covered courtyard area and several small tables and sitting areas are scattered around the villa's gardens and by the infinity pool that seems to drop into the valley.
