The Accomodations |
|
Villa Bernardi is a beautiful, spacious Tuscan casa colonica (farm house); it is suitable for 10 people and has been planned for family gatherings or parties of friends. It offers over 420 m² (4,400 ft²) of living space which meanders over 4 levels. The original farm dates back to 1085. Since 1988 Villa Bernardi has been remodelled twice; the first remodeling brought the property out of a ruin state, while the second made it rental ready. The house is designed not to feel like a rental property, but like a gracious vineyard residence. The estate is often photographed and is featured on posters and postcards; pictures and paintings of the property adorn the walls of several businesses and a Florentine restaurant. |
