On the ground floor it features 2 beautiful living rooms, a fully equipped kitchen with fireplace, a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and 2 family bathrooms (with bath + shower over).

It features a stunning kitchen (also provided with a traditional oven for bread) with a large dining area, a fireplace, ping-pong table and an extra WC.
If the indoor areas of Villa Capolona are truly magnificent, the grounds that surround the property will not be less. The 2500sqm of gardens are totally enclosed and fenced, providing great privacy, and are beautifully furnished with tables, chairs, sofas, hammocks. The private swimming pool is equipped with stylish sunbeds and parasols and attracts sun all day. It measures 12m x 8m and is the perfect place for a refreshing dip under the Tuscan sun.

The property, thanks to its spacious interiors and its large exteriors, guarantees a pleasure and safe stay. All the areas, including the swimming pool, are carefully sanitized and sterilized for the health and tranquility of guests.
