The apartment for self-catering, called 'Mansarda', is on the first floor of what used to be a Chapel. This together with the Villa next to it, was part of a large farmhouse and their existence has been documented since the 16th century. Villa Luisa is located 10km south of the city of Siena, in the Etruscan area, and commands a breathtaking view of of the surrounding hills (the 'Crete Senesi') and of Siena with its Torre del Mangia, where the Palio is run twice a year. Situated at the entrance of a hamlet called 'Ville di Corsano', the Villa is reached along a surfaced, very panoramic road. The Etruscan museum in the charming borough of Murlo is not far, as well as the town of Monteroni on the Via Cassia (SS.2) leading to Buonconvento and eventually Rome.
	The owner of the Capanna, signora Luisa Golzi, a former teacher of English, has recently renovated the whole building and relandscaped the garden with great attention to details. Together with the terrace added to the front of the house, it makes the perfect place to relax and enjoy sunbathing in privacy. The loft-style apartment 'Mansarda' (60 sqm)- so called because of its Tuscan ceiling with large wood beams - recently refurbished, has independent entrance and can comfortably accommodate 2 people (3 or 4 are possible for short stays). Plenty of light comes from  its large windows overlooking the garden and the hills, and the furnishings are elegant.
The well-equipped kitchen has new appliances, the conversation corner has comfortable armchairs, and the sleeping area has one double bed, a large single bed that in daytime can be a handy sofa , and a comfortable folding single bed. Bathroom with bath and shower, and washing machine.
