Close to the universal dream of
a perfect Tuscan country retreat
as could be found.
Set amongst this haven of natural
tranquillity and beauty, surrounded
by 25 hectares of vineyards producing
the marvellous Brunello wine, these
are charming stone-built houses,
approximately 10 kms from Montalcino,
that have been lovingly restored.
At walking distance there is Castelnuovo
dell' Abate, with a restaurant and
a small food shop. At only 2 km
the Sant' Antimo Abbey
It consists of the main farmhouse
and a delightful adjacent cottage
annexe for four people.
Both houses are perfectly restored
to a very high standard keeping
all the original features, and using,
wherever possible, original materials.
The properties are elegantly and
tastefully furnished with a comfortable
mix of antique, modern and traditional
Tuscan country styles.
A splendid swimming pool (18x5 m),
set in terraced lawns, enjoys breathtaking
views, and a delightful gazebo make
the grounds utterly magical.
Next to the buildings there is a
lovely covered loggia with an original
pizza oven, and BBQ.This is furnished
with table and chairs, perfect for
alfresco dining on long summer evenings.
The main house is on two floors.
On the ground floor there is a spacious
living room with fireplace; dining
room; kitchen with a long table
equipped with cooker, fridge, oven,
dishwasher, and access to a panoramic
terrace; toilet.
On the first floor there are 3 double
bedrooms with en-suite shower bathrooms;
one bedroom with a French bed and
en-suite shower bathroom.
The annexe is also on two floors
(95 sqm). This apartment is only
rented together with the main villa
.
On the ground floor there is a living/dining
room with open fireplace and kitchen
corner (cooker, fridge/freezer,
dishwasher, oven); one twin bedroom
(double on request); one shower
bathroom.
On the first floor there is a double
bedroom with en-suite bath tub.
In the garden, there is a 3rd small
two- floor building with a modern
gym room, Jacuzzi and sauna at the
guests' disposal. Satellite TV is
provided in both houses.
The property is reached by approx.
500 m of unmade track.
Montalcino, the nearest village,
is noted not only for its "Brunello"
but also for its Rocca dating back
XIV Century.
