Until quite recently, Partena was one of the many Tuscan hamlets, forgotten, abandoned and left to gradually disappear. Its hilltop position, panoramic views and proximity to such Tuscan treasures as San Gimignano, Colle Val d’Elsa, Volterra and Siena drew its attention to a number of home-buyers who together, bought the entire hamlet and set about the task for restoration. Partena is now home to some fifteen families who live in the individual self standing restored villas that form this tiny hilltop community.


Casa Partena is the very first villa to the left hand side of the entrance gates as you enter the hamlet. It occupies a floor area of approximately 120 square meters (1080 square feet) on two levels and is set in its own garden and outdoor living area. On the ground floor there is a large living room with fireplace, a service bathroom, a very well equipped kitchen (stove, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine). On the upper floor there are two double bedded rooms, one twin bedroom, one bathroom with shower and one bathroom with bath tub. The villa is extremely well furnished and equipped for a brief or longer term holiday accommodation; in addition to its panoramic location, a communal pool is located on the grounds for private use by Partena’s guests.

The price is per week and it includes water, gas, electricity, linen changed weekly and final cleaning. Use of the pool open from the 1st of June to the 30th of September. Extra charges: central heating upon use, extra bed (the 7th) 36 Euro per week (about $35). Security deposit: 155 Euro(about $150). Pets not allowed.
