The gardens are crowned by a breath-taking sculpture collection beautifully set into a landscaped garden of Mediterranean flowers and plants. The whole is set into a setting beyond compare looking out over valleys and hills created throughout the ages. In addition to the artful vineyard of 31 hectare, there is a stunning cellar where the estate’s excellent wines are produced. Underground passages ways make for an spectacular candlelit journey from the Villa through the cellars, the archways, and finally, to an elegant tasting room.

The villa, dating back to the 16th century now offers 7 double bedrooms and suites in the long double wings of the main villa, plus 4 additional bedrooms in the annex. The Villa may be booked with 7 bedrooms or 8. The views are unusual and spectacular as they look out over the "calanchi" these steep narrow valleys created over thousands of years.
On the Entry floor there are three spacious, elegant, inter-connected reception rooms, all displaying the incredibly good taste and style as well as the love of art and beauty of the owners. They face onto the enormous main living-iroom which enjoys spectacularly large picture windows taking advantage of the setting. The kitchen is equipped for Chefs but in a traditional style, with an eat-in table for tastings, lessons, or the do-it yourself moment. This kitchen offers everything a Chef, professional or amateur could demand, including a full set of chef’s knives! Outside the kitchen, a spacious pergola holds a table for 12 and a small outdoor living space.
The bedrooms are each luxuriously and individually decorated, each in it’s own style, and each with a telephone, air conditioning, satellite TV and screened windows. The bathrooms are all delightful and finished to a high standard. The large, glassed, indoor swimming pool (heated when necessary) looks out onto the garden and the scene beyond. Its protective glass window-doosr that can be partially opened when appropriate. Adjacent to to the swimming pool a large pergola provides a welcoming space as an outdoor dining venue. On the entry side of the swimming pool a large sitting room makes a great gathering spot with comfortable seating, a fireplace and a plasma screen TV. A second outdoor pool is in the garden.
Steam baths, spas, tennis, hikes, cooking classes, wine classes, and tasting delicious meals cooked by a skilled Italian Chef are available onsite as are wellness therapists who can offer invigorating week-long spa retreats focussing on detox food, yoga and fitness.
