Try out life in a small Tuscan town at 1213 La Residenza. Located in the Piazza San Bernardino of the town of Castelmuzio, the villa is named for the date of the first written mention of the town. The charming three-bedroom home is a palazzo signorile, or gentleman’s house, which is reflected in its elegant interiors, manicured garden and luxurious terrace.

Though intended for noble families of a different era, 1213 La Residenza has plenty of modern comforts to offer today’s guests. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace off the dining room, take a dip in the private plunge pool and while away the afternoon in the sunshine on a chaise longue. Parking is available for both your rental car, at a nearby space. There’s also Wi-Fi and book and movie collections to entertain on quiet evenings in.

The villa’s interiors offer interest at every turn, from wrought-iron railings on the stairs to an antique daybed. Beamed ceilings offer a glimpse of typical Tuscan architecture, while the living room’s red walls show a decidedly contemporary hand. The dining room and kitchen lie just beyond the fireplace; the kitchen is well-stocked with a blender, juicer and separate wine fridge.

1213 La Residenza’s three bedroom suites have en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. There’s no need to pack shampoo, either, as toiletries are provided. One suite has a king bed, while the other two each have a queen bed and a daybed for reading or catnaps. All of the bedrooms are furnished with a mix of traditional pieces, exotic finds, and brightly colored walls and fabrics.

The villa is just steps from a church and restaurant in Castelmuzio, and a 3-minute walk from the nearest grocery store. Hop in the car for the 12-minute drive to the gym, or the 15-minute drive to a tennis court, the Esse golf club or the Torrita di Siena train station. The Castiglione della Pescaia beach and Cutigliano ski area are close enough for a day trip, at 90 minutes away, and the Florence airport is a convenient 75-minute drive away.
