General Description
La Vita represents a slice of Italian life that's not easily replicated. This air conditioned cottage attached to the owner's villa is located less than two miles from Siena. Guests can easily get to and from the city by taking a bus that stops 30 yards away and runs once every hour until the early evening.

The cottage has its own private pool and furnished garden area overlooking the Sienese hills. The panorama reveals the weather and assists in plotting the day's course. The friendly owners residing in the main villa with their family and pets use an outdoor area at the opposite end of the villa, away from the cottage, to allow you privacy. They look forward to welcoming you with a tasting of local products served in their home.

Inside the cottage, there's an abundance of Tuscan charm, good quality country style antiques, tasteful furnishings, wood beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The kitchen area, that at first seems to be missing, lies hidden inside an armoire that includes a dishwasher. Oddly enough, Italians call these "American kitchens." Both bedrooms have screened windows and one also has a kitchen area. Cottage la Vita is strictly for non-smokers. Maid service may be requested at booking.

With the road nearby and the Firenze - Siena motorway 500 yards away, cars can be heard when sitting outside. The way home passes by some commercial businesses and a seminary that lies behind the property.

Nonetheless, Cottage la Vita beats life in the city hands down.

Monteriggioni is within a 15 minute drive; Castellina: 20; San Gimignano or Florence: 40; Pienza or Montalcino: 60; Lucca, Cortona, Arezzo or Orvieto: 90.
