Il Panacea

Tapestries and a battered panama perched on a walking stick; this unlikely blend of art and artefacts succinctly suggests the beguiling informality and understated elegance of Il Panacea. A light and airy family villa in Tuscany, on the ground floor is a delightful drawing room, with white sofas and bright cushions around a huge open fire, and with access to a cleverly rustic kitchen / dining room.Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a large al fresco ‘sitting room’ in the shade of four trees, perfectly positioned, one in each corner; and a converted barn, complete with chandelier, which now acts as a pool house to a generously sized swimming pool, sunk into lawned surrounds.  There are serene panoramas from every perspective in the grounds, and the peacefully private villa is about a fifteen minute drive from shops and restaurants in Buonconvento. Siena, Sant’Antimo abbeys and inimitable Florence are all within easy reach.
