Anna Maria at San Sano
Location address: San Sano - Siena
Anna Maria is located in the centre of the hamlet opposite the Grotta della Rana restaurant. Privacy is provided through the layout of this lovely villa furnished in a modern style complementing the typical Tuscan characteristics of terracotta floors and ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles.
The main door is an arched wooden door that leads to a tiny porch area. From here glass doors lead into the main lounge area. This large, spacious and airy room with a vaulted terracotta ceiling is comfortably furnished with two identical red leather double sofas around a coffee table and large fireplace.
From here about 10 steps lead to a large bedroom with double bed, dresser and a couple of chairs. The room has access to a terrace. It is completed with an en-suite bathroom with shower.
To the other side of the lounge several steps lead up to the kitchen/dining area. In the centre of the room is the large glass table with comfortable chairs seating spaciously up to 8 people. The kitchen unit is on one side and has lots of work space, a large oven with gas hobs and is fully equipped. The fridge across the room has a wine cooling unit and freezer.
From this room there is access through arched, double wood and glass doors to a garden which is furnished with table and chairs. It is a small garden but excellent to dine al fresco. The pool is a short distance away although it's hidden by the plants around the garden. It overlooks a vineyard but is protected by the other houses in the hamlet.
Off the kitchen is a second bedroom with double bed, built-in wardrobe. The window has a view of the courtyard. There is a beautiful en-suite bathroom with Victorian bath with handheld shower.
From the kitchen stairs go to the first floor where there is a large reception room with a triple sofa and coffee table. Two large windows overlook the back of the property and the garden onto the pool area.
To the right of the room is access to the bedrooms. They are set up ideally for families. The first is a walk through bedroom with one and a half size bed, which can sleep two children comfortably. The room has an en-suite bathroom with shower.
Continuing through this bedroom there is the master bedroom which has a large double bed. The spacious room with a high ceiling also has a wardrobe and mobile air-conditioning unit. It has an en-suite bathroom with Victorian tub with handheld shower.
A perfect villa for families just across the road from a restaurant.
Beds cannot be made into twins. However the walk through bedroom can be made into a twin for children.

Anna Maria at San Sano
Location address: San Sano - Siena
Savor the historic richness of San Sano while enjoying a relaxing day by the pool situated within the property’s private vineyards. Staying in the pristine village is a unique journey back into time when life was slow and passionate; and neighbors sat in their yards and sipped wine while watching the sunset.
The village of San Sano is a step back into thousands of years of history. With less than 100 residents, San Sano is nestled among the vineyard-covered rolling hills of Tuscany. Within the small village, is the property once owned by a local winemaker, and now fully restored into individual villas with every detail carefully monitored to ensure the structures remain authentic and untainted.
San Sano has one restaurant, a small grocery store, and an intimate church with Sunday morning services at 10. This medieval village is surrounded by walking paths, which are ideal for early morning walks and bike rides. The large pool is on the edge of the villas, adjacent to the vineyards. The pool, accessed by ladders, is 14 meters by 7 meters and has comfortable sunbeds in which to relax while catching up on reading. The pool is open from Easter through November.
San Sano has a rich history – just ask any local! They’ll tell you about the “boozy frog” fountain in the small park where neighbors gather throughout the day. Many years ago, a resident of San Sano was a contestant on a game show and told an outrageous tale about how the frogs in his village got drunk from drinking Chianti wine from the bottle. It was such a wild story that he won the contest and with his prize money, he bought the fountain for the community to enjoy.
The villas in San Sano are ideal for traveling couples who want to split their holiday time between wine tastings, relaxing around the pool, walks in the surrounding areas and taking day trips to other villages, and dining in all the great Tuscan local restaurants. One couple may want to explore, while the other couple stays at the villa.
San Sano is a short drive to dozens of charming villages, and the larger communities of Gaiole in Chianti, Radda and Siena. It has everything anyone could imagine to capture the true Tuscan experience.
A parking area is available for guests use.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
