Just outside Foiano della Chiana, a lively borgo with a thousand-year old history located in the centre of the Val di Chiana, between the provinces of Arezzo and Siena and on the border with Umbria, is this lovely, recently-built house in stone and plaster which has always belonged to the current owners and where you will breathe in a homely, welcoming atmosphere. Villa Joy is set in a beautiful garden, a veritable green island in the centre of which is a large swimming pool and various areas organized for relaxation and fun in the open air. The property is located in a residential area along the main road leading to the town, in the picturesque landscape of the Tuscan countryside; its strong point is the location (5 km from the A1 motorway, the Autostrada del Sole), ideal for visiting the numerous tourist spots in the surroundings and just a short distance from the main road links that will bring you within easy reach of the art cities of Siena, Arezzo, Perugia and Cortona. From here you can undertake fascinating itineraries along beautiful panoramic roads winding through the Chianti area or the Val d'Orcia, studded with little Renaissance towns of great charm such as Pienza, Montepulciano, delectable Lucignano and many others: a thrilling experience that will involve all your senses in an exclusive concentration of art, vibrant nature and the authentic flavours of Tuscany. NB About 15 meters away the villa is the caretaker's annex which can be a useful point of reference for guests to whom, however, complete privacy is guaranteed.
