The building is an old three-story manor house dating from around 1830, and is close to the historic center of Chianciano Terme. You can enter trough a monumental gate located in the middle of a garden with rare plants such as: Hibiscus syriacus (Hibiscus), Lippia citriodora (Lippia), Osmanthus fragrans (Olea fragrans), Ruscus hipoglossum (Butcher’s Broom
variety) and Paeonia officinalis (Peony).

To the right for those who enter is a neoclassical Chapel, to the side like a monumental bell tower stands a Cedrus Libani of considerable size, on the opposite side is a stone fountain with spring water (now emptied and no longer functioning), down a few steps is the shadiest and most private area of the park, a formal garden with tall trees.

The square to the south of the villa is dominated by the presence of a beautiful fountain (currently disused) in the center of a body of water with elegant polylobed edges, surrounded by a pavement made of local stone slabs on the perimeter of which four singular benches in stone are installed (now destroyed by vandals). At the far end of the forecourt, looking toward Mount Cetona and the valley below, is an imposing panoramic terrace, equipped with a classical parapet with stone balusters, below and to the side of which are the former lemon house and the Gardener’s House, respectively.
Villa Simoneschi’s garden is home to more than thirty specimens of plants, shrubs, hedges, and beds bordered by stones; some of the tall trees include: Acer negundo (Virginia maple), Taxus baccata (Yew tree), Cotinus coggygria (Wig tree), and Prunus cerasifera (Prunus).
