A stately, well preserved 15th century villa that has been in the same family for more than four hundred years, Villa Raffentini offers a glimpse into historic Tuscan life with all the comforts of the modern age. The tiled floors and beamed ceilings date from the building's original construction, as do many of the fine antiques decorating the rooms. Reflecting the practices of the time, all the living areas and bedrooms are on the first floor, with the ground floor reserved for storing wine and olive oil. A lovely glass-enclosed loggia with pietra serena columns faces the pool and garden from the first floor. A wonderful sense of complete privacy is afforded by the majestic trees that surround the house, and the beautiful flowering garden dotted with geranium-filled terracotta vases.
