The Villa
Villa Tuscan Dream is a typical historical Tuscan villa with exclusive swimming pool. This independent villa, built in the second half of the 18th century, is located on the last western slopes of Mount Albano, approximately 250mt. above sea level. Originally it was composed of two farm houses which have been joined together (maintaining however a total independence if required during the Winter season).

The outside
The external walls are covered with typical local stone as are almost all the surrounding houses, conserving the original aspect of the building, when it was constructed…
The villa looks out over typical Tuscan countryside – hills and olive groves, woods of chestnut and oak trees – all immersed in an oasis of silence.
Interior design
For almost 50 years the owners have cultivated their passion for antiques and have furnished the villa with pieces acquired from antique dealers, auction sales or antique fairs. Some of the more particular pieces are the beautiful doors in each room. Particularly the two doors in the central lounge and the one of the green bedroom on ground floor. All. 17th century.
The kitchen has a double marble sink, 250 years old and a collection of 12 ceramic tiles with zodiac symbols of the beginning of last century, over the stove.
Worth noticing is a big 17th cent chestnut plaque over the wide stairs down into the big lounge/dining room. In this spacious room there is a magnificent set of 10 chestnut Florentine chairs of the 17th cent and a spectacular and remarkable stone fire place from the Northern part of Italy, which dates back to the 16th cent. In the master bedroom a double painted 18th cent. door from a noble palace in Naples and a 17th cent. chest. In the red bedroom a very fine Louis XV wardrobe. There are many antique prints on the walls from different parts of Italy (Venice, Rome, Naples etc). Objects d’art can be seen throughout the villa. All the rooms have Persian carpets.
