Surrounded
by a an orchard, a kitchen garden, a centenary olive grove and a
swimming pool with solarium, Lauro Ceraso, a former barn now restored
to become a comely villa destined as summer and winter holiday retreat,
overlooks the surrounding valleys cultivated with olive groves and
vineyards just 2 km out of Siena town.
The roomy interiors and the large garden are guaranty of independence
and individual space for each guest.
Three bedrooms are on the growndfloor and three on the first floor
- two single and four double - for a comfortable total of 10 sleeps.
An additional bed is available on request, free of charge.
|
| Each bedroom is furnished
with original pieces in Tuscan style with a particular attention
to detail and practicality.
Each floor has two bathrooms with shower. The fully equipped kitchen
has been recently remodeled with stylish and quality pieces. From
the kitchen a door opens in the large living room where there is
a CD player, a TVSat 24/7 and room for everyone to chat and relax
in front of the fireplace. The large table comfortably sits ten
people. Cuisine lovers will find a stylish and practical environment
in the roomy kitchen, where they can transform their ideas into
excellent dishes.
Both the living room and the kitchen have access to the broad solarium
paved with natural terracotta tiles.

It extends
at the side of the swimming pool and is an ideal spot where to sunbathe
or enjoy the shade of the gazebo.
The swimming pool is paved with roman-style tiles and surrounded
by luxuriant plants. A large barbecue on wheels is easy to use anywhere,
even close to the furnished gazebo.
Tomatoes, lettuce, arugula, and other fresh vegetables are at guests'
disposition in the kitchen garden.
The land gently declines from the house towards the private way.
Here one can walk in the orchard and among centenary olive trees,
surrounded by rose and broom bushes in full bloom.
|
| Crossing the private way, one lands
into a small biologically cultivated vegetable garden.
Completely surrounded with bushes of cherry laurel, in the leveled
part of the garden grow ornamental olive, magnolia and prunus trees.
The imposing cedar of Lebanon, three tall cypresses and a walnut
tree define the swimming pool area.
Completely surrounded by the garden, the solarium is paved with
old hand-made terracotta bricks. Low-rise stone walls alternating
with antique terracotta jars delimit its perimeter. Geraniums and
tulips decorate jars and walls with a multitude of scents and colors.

From the porphyry-paved
terrace one can gaze at the many wheat-cultivated fields and vineyards
surrounding the villa. In the evening the sun sets on the valley,
painting everything with orange and violet hues. A must-see!
At Spring time the orchard blooms with scents and flowers that become
delicious apricots, prunes, peaches, and cherries at Summer time.
All these fruits are biologically treated and ready to be handpicked
and eaten from the tree.
