The villa  was designed and built for their own use by its anglo-italian architects/owners as a contemporary version of a classical tuscan villa,  using traditional  materials in a more up-to-date approach to layout and detailing. The old, new, and ethnic furniture and paintings are a modest part of the family heritage.

Sited in rich agricultural countryside above the unspoilt Ombrone valley, the villa commands a spectacular view of nearby vineyards, distant farmhouses and castles which line the horizon.  Buonconvento,  the nearest town 4 kilometres away on an asphalted road provides for all needs.  Siena  is 29 kilometres to the north up the Via Cassia, the old consular roman road.

The villa is set back from the main road which carries minimal traffic by a parking area and  entrance courtyard.    On the southern private side the loggias,  living-room,  garden and pool are open to the sun and the view.
Two lower buildings frame the entrance court and lead to the main  building  which houses the living spaces on the ground floor and five bedrooms on the first, all with ensuite bathrooms, with a total of ten beds.

The entrance court is framed by two lower buildings, housing on one side a separate guest suite, and on the other a garage and utility room with a separate service entrance to the kitchen.

The front door opens onto a hall with doors and windows which lead onto the loggia and from which a staircase leads to the first floor.    Kitchen,  breakfast and dining areas are to the left,  the living-room/ study with french windows on the right

The complete kitchen area includes  pantry with supplementary fridge, two-door central fridge,dishwasher, gas stove and wood-burning stove, breakfast table for 8 and a divided dining-area table for 10.  The kitchen is close to the downstairs shaded loggia with its table for ten,  ideal for eating out.  A large utility-room giving off the kitchen and the service entrance and garage provides a washing-machine, a sink and equipment for ironing.

Upstairs two double bedrooms with ensuite bath (one with a jacuzzi)  and two bedrooms with two single beds. Additional double bedroom are in the ground floor wing. Thus five bedrooms all with ensuite baths, sleeping ten
The building is air-conditioned throughout by a central system feeding  individual fan-coil units.

The interior is enriched by separate room colour schemes in  red,  umber and green,  reflected in the  colour of travertine inserts in the floors with ceilings in chestnut beams and joists, and  bathroom claddings in mosaic and travertine.

A paved and pergola-protected area for deckchairs and tables is set in the lawn which divides  the house from the pool, which is 15 metres by 5 metres.
