Description

LIVE AMIDST ENCHANTED GARDENS.

Superbly situated on over 20 acres overlooking the ancient city of Volterra and miles of uninterrupted Tuscan countryside, Venzano is a 12th-century monastery about to be expertly restored into nine holiday homes.

Award winning architect Donella Magni will be creating 2 and 3 bedroom residences that capture the magic of the tranquil setting. Interiors will be finished to the highest level (neary every bedroom with en-suite bathroom), and plentiful terraces will allow true indoor-outdoor living.

Venzano simply overflows with its gardens. The life work of noted landscape designer Donald Leevers, the formal, herb and vegetable gardens establish Venzano's character, creating an extraordinary year-round sensory experience. (We love its hidden corners, strolling in the olive grove or drinking from the fresh, Etruscan-era spring).

Other amenities will include a panoramic pool and spa, indoor hamman bath, a subterranean cantina for resident's wine storage and private dinners, a restaurant-quality owner's kitchen, and an original frescoed chapel that is the monastery's meeting point and lounge.

A live-in Gardener and Caretaker will ensure that life at Venzano has its own rhythm. Your refrigerator will be stocked and flowers arranged before you arrive. Cappuccino will be there for you each morning. Airport pickups will be available, and Venzano will also keep its own bicycles and Vespas.
