 The apartment for self-catering, called 'Mansarda', is on the first floor of what used to be a Chapel.

 This together with the Villa next to it, was part of a large farmhouse and their existence has been documented since the 16th century.

 Villa Luisa is located 10km south of the city of Siena, in the Etruscan area, and commands a breathtaking view of of the surrounding hills (the 'Crete Senesi') and of Siena with its Torre del Mangia, where the Palio horse race is run twice a year. Situated at the entrance of a hamlet called 'Ville di Corsano', the Villa is reached along a surfaced, very panoramic road. The Etruscan museum in the charming borough of Murlo is not far, as well as the town of Monteroni d'Arbia on the Via Cassia (SS.2) leading to Buonconvento and eventually Rome.

 The owner of the Villa, signora Luisa Golzi, a former teacher of English, has recently renovated the whole building and relandscaped the garden with great attention to details. Together with the terrace added to the front of the house, it makes the perfect place to relax and enjoy sunbathing in privacy.
