The “Villa di Catignano” was built at the end of XVII century by the ancestor of the current owners, Quinto Settano, pseudonym of Monsignor Lodovico Sergardi, a writer and lover of arts.
The small borough already existed in 1500 with the name of Clatinianum as a property of the Sergardi’s family.
Nowadays the Villa, overlooking a beautiful Italian garden decorated with statues representing the four seasons and the medieval towers of Siena in the distance welcomes the guests who appreciate historical sites and suggestive atmospheres.
The Villa is divided into large apartments, the most suggestive ones can be reached walking through the large entrance hall dominated by a coat of arms of the Sergardi family and their motto “Expertus fidelem”.
Beautiful fireplaces, living rooms with hardwood flooring, frescoed walls, precious prints and beautifully crafted furniture enhance the Italian charm of the Villa making even more precious the seven luxury vacation apartments, some of which overlook the Italian style garden and some others the big courtyard and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
Guest will appreciate lemon trees, geraniums all around the Villa and the Arcadian atmosphere which has been for centuries a frame to the tradition of a family of notaries and lovers of letters and arts.
