Tuscany rental villa Dating back
to the XVII century, it was probably
a place where travellers on their
way to Montalceto (a nearby spring)
used to stop over.
It stands on a hill from where
you have views over the typical
Tuscan countryside, several hill-top
towns and villages such as Siena,
Montalcino, Mount Amiata, Radicofani,
the cathedral of St. Anna in Camprena,
Montisi, Trequanda, the castle of
Gallico and Serre di Rapolano.
The property was restored between
1995 and 2000 and converted into
a villa, furnished with family antiques,
characteristically decorated with
coffered and cane-mesh ceilings
typical of the "old Tuscan"
ambience.
There are 8 large double bedrooms
(all with bathroom, telephone and
minibar), dining room, living room
with travertine fireplace and reading
room, a well equipped kitchen, as
well as a panoramic terrace and
two covered porches. A large garden
surrounds the villa and frames the
pool in beautiful surroundings.
It is located 35 km. south of
Siena, in the heart of the "Crete"
(the clay-region) and belongs to
the large estate of " La Selva"
- which spans 212 ha.
Situated in the garden, near the
main villa, there is an old barn
completely renovated to create a
comfortable apartment for four people.
The apartment consists of a living
room with fire place and kitchen
corner, two double bedded rooms
and two bathrooms with bath. (This
apartment is only rented together
with the main villa ).
A perfect starting point to visit
all the most famous artistic and
historical towns of Central Tuscany
(Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino,
Cortona and many others); the sea
is 130 km. away (Castiglion della
Pescaia and a little further on
Punta Ala) and the interesting and
attractive wine regions of the Chianti
Classico, Brunello and Nobile, are
half an hour's drive away.
