Villa Humbourg will Transport you

Imagine the beauty and the charm of yesteryear with its luxurious pageantry. Villa Humbourg, a historical structure and the home of Sir Alessandro Humbourg, a government official and minister for the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in the mid 1700’s captures the essence of Tuscany mixing an elegant decor with a dense green surrounding. The owners, who live on the ground floor, have carefully restored two spacious apartments of almost 100 square meters each which both boast an incantevole view of the gardens and the surrounding olive grove.

Each apartment has two bedrooms and a large living room area with sofa, TV and a dining area. Though the apartments do not have a kitchen, there is a shared room where one has full access to a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, coffee and espresso maker as well as an electric kettle for tea. The pièce de résistance is surely the whirlpool bathtub...a romantic adventure waiting to happen. Decorated in soft colors, the decor is warm and welcoming accenting the natural architectural highlights such as the wood beam ceilings and tiled floors.

And though the history of the original villa shows that it has been inhabited since the medieval times the owners offer all of the modern comforts of today including free Wi-Fi, Sat TV, heating and air conditioning. The delightful gardens which are open to the guests are more than enough reason to enjoy the free air and garden furniture around the villa. The owners also provide a rich continental breakfast highlighting local specialties and who knows, maybe even some of their very own olive oil.
