Villa Aliano was built in the18th century and a famous artist bought it in 1983.
The property has been continously restored over the years and the owner has tastefully designed the restoration plan which was made with the target to preserve the traditional Tuscan style in every detail. Antique dark-red handmade terracotta tiles cover the floors and the roof which is supported by powerful oak beams. The windows and doors are elegantly framed in the local silver-gray stone named "pietra serena.”
The Villa can comfortably accommodate up to 14 persons on two floors. It consists of 6 large bedrooms with traditional Tuscan wrought-iron queen size or single size beds, comfortable mattresses and six charming “Belle Époque” en suite bathrooms decorated with high quality white ceramic and brass fittings. All the bedrooms overlook the valley and have their own air conditioning system, wifi internet connection and window screens.
In the house there are several magnificent reproductions of masterpieces by Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Sandro Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Masaccio, Alesso Baldovinetti and Ercole de' Roberti. The result is an uncompromisingly authentic and nostalgic atmosphere.
