Guardia, an apartment with a view
This is the apartment for stays with the most panoramic view at Fattoria del Colle; it is at the back of the villa and it is where the gamekeeper and his family once lived
The original badge of the guardian
Of the original inhabitant only one trace remains, his badge, it is in the hall, it is triangular and made of metal, it says” Guardia” and used to be worn sown on his hat so as to be easily recognisable by the poachers
The beauty of the view of the Crete Senesi and of the Val d’Orcia was the reason why it was preferred by Roberto Guerrini, present dean of the Faculty of Law of the University of Siena, when as a young man he used to come to Fattoria del Colle to write some of his first publications to reach maximum concentration.
Three bedrooms, a lounge, a full kitchen, and a bathroom. Most of the
Living room of the apartment Guardia
furnishings are antiques, and the effect is very welcoming. The Fattoria del Colle wing, where the apartment “Guardia” is found, was built at the end of the Eighteenth century so as to create a secluded bedroom where the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo d’Asburgo used to meet his lover Isabella. The Guardia apartment transforms a holiday in a country inn in Tuscany into a visual experience.
