This property belonged to one of Siena’s most Nobile and noted families since the 18th Century.  The property has undergone changes highlighting its already appreciable original charm and emphasizing the striking architectural structure that recalls the great engineers of past centuries. Villa Del Palio is set atop a hill and its blessed location is ideal for those who wish to spend a unique holiday amidst spectacular views of the Tuscan rolling hills. The beautiful appointed property is located just 15 kilometres away from Siena, while Florence and Rome are easily reachable by car. Monteroni D’Arbia history: The establishment of the Municipality took place in 1810, during the Napoleonic period, following the decisions taken by the Extraordinary Council of the Government of Tuscany. Until then the territory was part of the Buonconvento Podesta office. The name derives from one of the hills that dominates the town, called precisely Monte Roni, and from the fact that the river Arbia flows there. The historian of medieval historical toponymy Gaetano Barbarulo, who studied the form Tirone / Monterone, present in most of the Italian territory, derives Monteroni from a mountain compound, derived from the Latin mons, and Tirone, the result of the late Latin toro -onis, word from the meaning of “altura”. Villa Del Palio It sleeps 18 people and it features a private patio, a large garden of 10,000 m² maintained and equipped with swimming pool (15 m. X 7.50 m.), 200 m. from the main building there is a tennis court, Football court, bowling alley and a gym area. The property was renovated to keep the original features intact using materials typical of the Tuscan tradition and introducing new services and functional areas including a swimming pool, a tennis court, a bowling alley, and the annexes. The entrance to the villa is a sensory experience that fully envelops the guest.  It projects an environment where the firm impression of the link with its history, the quiet beauty of the landscape, and the simplicity of the architectural lines of the building are combined with the elegant simplicity of the whole. Staying here is like being a part of the lives of its previous inhabitants.  You will be marked by the passage of time, which makes the property today what it appears to the guest.  The property will welcome you as one of its own. This is not reconstructed intimacy.   You can enjoy your breakfasts quietly in the outside courtyard where the garden floral surrounds you.  Its interior rooms are of unique charm, each enriched by an impressive view of the countryside and, in some cases, on a horizon on which stands the harmonious profile of Siena. Further appeal comes through the furnishing, many of which were bought in auctions or antique markets. The many paintings and beautiful series of drawings on display are of considerable importance.
