General Information

Living Area

Entering Villa Chianti through the tastefully planted front garden area the competitive types among you will most likely want to remain on the ground floor. Adjacent to the double garage is a spacious games room with a foosball table, darts board and bistro set.

The main living area up the flight of stairs is open plan and welcoming. There is a comfortable lounge area, featuring tasteful furniture.

The room is open plan to the dining area with an eight-seater table with three counter height stools at the kitchen bar. The spacious balcony runs the length of both the dining and living room and overlooks the 70ft pool and tropical rear garden area.

It offers the perfect spot to relax as a group on the loungers or curl up in a chair at the bistro set as you lose yourself in a book, a magazine or just in the moment - something you might find you do a lot on Anna Maria.

For those who like to know what is going on in the rest of the world, there is a huge 52in wall-mounted HDTV and HD-DVD player and with two plush queen sleepers you can drift off watching the Monday night game or sleep any extra guests.

Kitchen

On the first floor is also the well-equipped kitchen in which you will find every modern convenience, appliance and utensil. With a large cooking range, microwave, fridge/freezer with ice maker and separate utility area with washer and dryer you can do as much or as little of those everyday chores which you so love to do at home.

Inside the kitchen is also a kitchen bar which seats three – the ideal place to plan the day ahead over a freshly-brewed coffee and toasted bagel.

Bedrooms

In-keeping with the rest of Villa Chianti the bedrooms are tastefully-furnished, feature professional decoration along with many hand-made fixtures and fittings and all benefit from quality linens and soft furnishings.

The master bedroom is situated on the first floor and enjoys a king-sized bed and its own private balcony on which you can enjoy a morning drink while the sun starts to warm the day or just drink in the peace and quiet of another balmy evening on Anna Maria.

Next to this is a queen room with similar comforts which include flush mounted TVs, large closets to keep your vacation wardrobes in order and dressers.

Both bedrooms share a large bathroom with walk-in glass shower, separate his-n-hers sinks, marble surfaces and a tiled floor. On the second floor is the second master bedroom with a queen bed, again with a private balcony and featuring an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and similar top-line fixtures and fittings.

This room has an HD TV with a media console and DVD player. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, offering versatility and plenty of options for whichever combination of friends, family, young or old are staying.

There is a king room and a twin room, both with flush HD TVs, dressers and closets. These two rooms share the second rear balcony with access via a spiral staircase to the roof deck which offers exceptional views of both the Gulf and Skyway Bridge, both to be enjoyed from the comfort of a canopy chaise longue.

There is also a trundle room with pull-out twin beds, its own private balcony, another wall-mounted HDTV, chest and closet. A large family bathroom with both tub and shower serves these rooms.

Bathrooms

There is a separate half bathroom on the first floor, along with a utility room including washer and dryer.

The two first-floor bedrooms share a large family bathroom, while there is a private en-suite for the second-floor master bedroom and large main bathroom with bath and shower for the other bedrooms to share.

Each bathroom is supplied with freshly laundered towels upon your arrival and will be spotlessly clean. Beach towels are also provided.

Outside

So, you're within walking distance of the beaches and world-famous sugar soft sand of Anna Maria Island in Villa Chianti. But you don't have to go far to enjoy some serious relaxation in glorious surroundings – it's right outside.

Quite apart from the all-important exterior kitchen bar with grill, refrigerator and sink for you to entertain yourselves around the pool – or on one of the four bar chairs if you have always wanted to recreate those scenes in Cheers – there is also a large exterior granite dining table which seats 10 for outside meals or games.

But the real star of the show among the shady palms and professionally landscaped lush tropical gardens is the 70ft zero entry wraparound pool with two waterfalls, tiki table, spa and under-water lighting to create the perfect mood day or night.

Relaxation is the watchword here – and it’s not too hard to achieve at Villa Chianti.

You are perfectly placed in Holmes Beach, just a two-minute stroll from one of the island's best and most family-friendly stretches of sand at the Manatee public beach. You are walking distance from both the best breakfast restaurant on the island, where you can eat with your toes in the sand, and the best burger in the world at Skinny's. You can also catch the free island trolley from just outside the villa when you want to see the rest of the island.

Also very close by is Publix, the best general grocery store on the island with a great delicatessen, in-store bakery and good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. The small precinct is also home to some interesting souvenir shops, a 24-hour pharmacy, bank, liquor store and cafes and restaurants.

Everything you could possibly need is nearby – except all that stress, noise and hassle you left behind when you drove over the bridge on to Anna Maria Island. And we are quite sure you won’t be missing any of it.
