Once the home of a noble Siena family, the beautifully restored Villa Armena welcomes wayfarers from all over into the heart of charming Tuscany.

While the villa boasts a classic red-brick build with terracotta floors and stately oak-beam roofs, contemporary updates like chromotherapy showers and flat-screen satellite television make it a top-notch, modern day destination.
