La Limonaia – Borgo Bastia Creti

Nestled in a fold of the hillside gardens, framed between banks of flowers and opening out to a large paved patio and level lawn, this very spacious villa is the epitome of rustic charm. In its open-plan kitchen / living room, a big fireplace fills a corner and carefully chosen furnishings include a wonderfully aged timber table, and bright woven rugs on polished brick floors. The villa’s double bedroom is similarly simply styled and generously sized. But beneath the beamed ceilings of this old-world cottage, contemporary comforts are not compromised. The villa is well equipped with modern kitchen appliances, satellite TV, WiFi and air conditioning. Its private patio is furnished for al fresco dining, and cook service is offered as an added indulgence. And La Limonaia’s secluded setting is complemented by communal facilities in Borgo Bastia Creti, including hard court tennis, a large swimming pool with stunning views, and the little social hub, Club Bastia, with its inviting dining hall and sitting room. Golf, water sports and medieval towns are all within easy reach, and a small shop in Spedalicchio is 5km away.
