VILLA SAN BARBERINO

Villa San Barberino interiors are very well equipped. The kitchen is full of charm and despite its farmhouse appeal comes with the right appliances and facilities to make any cook at home. There's a drinks fridge as well as a larder fridge, a dishwasher, good quality espresso and latte machine and an antique stone sink. The cooker is large with a double oven with griddle and hotplates. It sits in the stunning fireplace opposite an antique dresser. There's an informal kitchen table for cosy meals and double doors open conveniently onto the front terrace and pergola area where guests can enjoy a glass of wine or dine watching the sun go down. An arched passageway from the kitchen leads into the dining area, double doors lead out into the shaded pergola and pizza room, then out onto the gardens and pool.The extending dining table seats up to 24 guests.

At the back of the house and with arched doors overlooking spectacular views is the double height living room. During the day light filters through the latticework of bricks that form the upper walls. There's a stunning copper fireplace surrounded by deep comfortable sofas where guests can relax, listen to music, chat or watch something on the home cinema system. Above the living room is a mezzanine level with a half sized pool table.
