table. To the left of this hall is a small sitting room, containing an
antique wooden desk, a bookcase, and sitting area. At the end of the
entrance hall and to the left, there is another sitting room with a

ceramic tiled dining room, where guests enjoy their buffet breakfast,
along with lunch and dinner should they so choose.

Can be reached via two staircases: one to the left and one to the right of the entrance hall.
The staircase to the right of the entrance hall is a grand structure
furnished with two antique suits of armour. It leads to the impressive
Grand Duke’s bedroom (Suite 3). This suite looks out onto both the front
and rear gardens, and is painted cardinal red. It also contains antique
furnishings, including a 17th century headboard, bookcases and grand
piano. This second staircase also leads to two other suites (Suites 1
& 2), one overlooking the southern garden, the other with a view of
the northern garden of the Maremma villa rental.
At the top of the second staircase, we come across a lovely suite
with a large terrace (Suite 7), decorated in a soothing shade of green.
Near the suite, there are two double bedrooms (Rooms 5 & 6) and
another suite (Suite 4).
Descending this staircase, to the right at mezzanine level, there is a
small lounge, equipped with TV and internet point. WI-FI access is
available on most of the ground floor in the common areas, including the
garden area, and in the majority of the bedrooms. Continuing
downstairs, there is a double bedroom (Room 9), a junior suite (Suite 8)
and a staircase which leads to another junior suite (Suite 10) in the
attic. This room features exposed wooden beams and a commanding view of
the landscape.
All the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, mini bar,
private safe, and television. The bathrooms are all hand painted with
travertine marble. Each is equipped with hairdryers and a full set of
bath towels.
Garden:
On entering the rear garden, of the Villa Granduca, via the glass doors at the end of the entrance hall, there is a
well kept rose garden and lawn area with comfortable outdoor furniture.
It is an ideal place to enjoy a cool drink during the hot summer
evenings.
To the right, there is another area with chairs, tables and canvas
umbrellas, where one can have breakfast or dine during the summer
months, or perhaps even have lunch during the first warm spring days.

which is in use from mid-May to the end of September. The swimming pool
