So
very close to Siena, yet having the advantage of countryside tranquillity,
is the elegant Villa dei Lecci. This
splendid Villa mantains the atmosphere of a large country family house
offering to guest the comfort
and the elegance of a bed and breakfast and an intimate and romantic retreat
for couples.
The yellow bedroom downstairs is
a suite with large bathroom adjacent to the frescoed dining room where
generous breakfast is served. A candlelit dinner can also be had upon
request here or out in the garden gazebo.
Upstairs,
where the noble proprietors once lived, the quaters are more elaborate,
with painted, wood-paneled ceilings and a large living room and library
filled with fine antiques.

The
Victorian-style Peach Room has floral wallpaper, lace curtains, and silver-framed
family photos, while the Alcove Suite is done in golden tones and rich fabrics.
Adding to guests' indulgence are a hot tub, exercise room, and sitting area
on a frescoed veranda. A
weeklong cooking program is organized in off-season months. An excellent
touring base.
