There are few vacation experiences that can prepare you for the splendor and magnificence of the imposing 11th century Castello and medieval borgo that surround it. The setting is simply magical, with incredible views of the Val di Chiana valley, overlooking vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees. One arrives by driving through the picturesque countryside and through the imposing entrance. It is amazing to consider that the occasional glimpse of the Castello and the borgo high up through the trees is your ultimate destination!
In ancient days, the castle in the hamlet was a strategic look-out point for potential enemy attacks and played an important part in the defense of Siena. Its flag is still waved every year during the Palio in Siena as a symbol of gratitude for this protection. Today, the hamlet has been carefully and completely restored as Angelica, with five exquisite and individual properties. Each has been impeccably renovated using the visions of renowned Italian and English designers. Outdoor terraces are furnished for dining al fresco and the surrounding gardens are meticulously maintained. Here in Angelica is a theatre, perfect for wedding receptions or any type of celebration, along with a 16th century church, ideal for weddings or recommitment services. And, there is no need to drive if you decide to dine out. The restaurant on the premises serves delicious local dishes, using seasonal ingredients. Numerous footpaths meander through the borgo, offering some of the most beautiful vistas in Tuscany. Angelica is, in a word, spectacular!
Cottage Virginia is one of the five exquisite villas in Angelica. Its Tuscan features capture the charm and ambiance of the enchanting fairy tale setting. Beamed ceilings, an antique fireplace and period furniture combine seamlessly with the modern comforts and conveniences we've grown accustomed to in our own homes. No detail has been overlooked, from the tableware, linens, crystal and fittings to the meticulous gardens and the surrounding grounds. The professional kitchen is ideal for those that love to cook and it is equipped with the most modern appliances and marble countertops. Or, if you don't feel like cooking that night, take a walk to the nearby restaurant for scrumptious local fare.
