The house is all on 1 level and has been lovingly finished using cotto tiled floors, waxed beams, traditional paint techniques and handmade furniture from Florence and Citta Di Castello.

Garden furniture, consisting of a white painted iron dining table with 6 chairs beneath the Pergola, 4 sun loungers and a Weber barbecue, is provided within the private, irrigated gardens stocked with olive and fruit trees (figs, plums, apricots and cherries), rosemary and lavender bushes. A private pathway leads towards the large, shared swimming pool which, together with the Astro Turf tennis court, have recently been completed. The grounds are tended and maintained by a Caretaker who is on hand for any assistance that may be required. At the heart of the Borgo lies the original villa and cobbled square.
