Description
Il Palazzetto is a fascinating Tuscan farmhouse with beautiful views over the famous Sienese countryside.
Built around the 18th century, of bright and wide spaces, it was renovated around the 80’s, hosting the reunions of its large family over time.
A cypress-lined road leads you to the garden and courtyard shaded by its mighty wisteria.
You will find here the main house, numerous original barns, the traditional Tuscan bread oven, various entrances to the cellars and the large staircase leading to the first floor.
At the top of the staircase, the pleasant loggia with a dominant view leads to the house on the first floor.
Here the spaces were arranged with an important, bright double reception room, a large kitchen with Tuscan open fireplace, five bedrooms and a bathroom.
On the ground floor the original cellars are composed of numerous rooms that could eventually be transformed to create ample living spaces of great character, in some parts highlighted by their large, suggestive arches.
The property is surrounded by its land of approx 4, 5 hectares, which furthermore hosts a huge stable-barn-warehouse and the ancient pigsty.
