PROPERTY TOUR WITH DANILO ROMOLINI
On the beautiful hills between Val d’Orcia and Crete Senesi, not far from Siena and Montalcino, this beautiful countryside villa has been finely restored and offers nowadays 720 sqm of surface for a total of 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms over three buildings surrounded by a well-maintained garden with pool and olive grove (80 trees).
The property is located not far from the town of Buonconvento offering all the necessary services (6km; 10’) and allows easily reaching all the most famous art cities of Tuscany in less than an hour and half.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The manor villa (500 sqm – 5,380 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms) has been tastefully restored preserving its rural-but-high-level look, with high-quality stone floors, restored and valorized vaulted ceilings and decorative elements left almost intact. The building is laid over two floors, with a day zone on the ground floor and a night quarter on the first floor:
- Ground floor: living room with fireplace, ample open space with professional kitchen and dining area, small studio and underground cellar for wine storage, room with sofa-bed and bathroom;
- First floor: five bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.
FLOOR PLANS OF THE VILLA
The guesthouse N°1 (160 sqm – 1,722 sqft, 1 bathroom), laid over a single floors, is made up of three areas: north to south we have a cozy sitting room with fireplace, TV and bathroom, a bar with counter and a pool room. The building has been restored too and still boasts all the typical features such as exposed wooden beams, metal doors, high-quality stone floors and even an original fireplace in decorated stone. Outside, a paved terrace is embellished by exotic plants and a small laundry room completes the building.
The guesthouse N°2 (60 sqm – 645 sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) houses an independent suite made up of bedrooms, sitting room, bathroom and a nice outdoor portico overlooking the olive grove.
EXTERIORS
The property covers a surface of approximately 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) that can be irrigated thanks to a nearby lake. The view from the terrace is breathtaking and ranges from Crete Senesi to Val d’Orcia.
Exiting the villa we end up in a well-maintained Italian garden decorated with boxwood, roses and rosemary, carefully studied to be as symmetrical as the buildings. Across the garden, a wrought-iron gazebo assembled by a renowned local craftsman offers a nice outdoor shaded area.
The ample paved courtyard between the two main buildings (roughly 140 sqm – 1,506 sqft) is perfect for al fresco dinners with friends in the pleasant Tuscan climate.
East from the villa we reach the beautiful 14 × 7 m Infinity swimming pool paved in carefully selected travertine stone. Around the pool a pergola offers a nice sitting area and a summer kitchen is ideal for dinners and aperitifs. Under the basin there are a bathroom and a shower room.
West from the buildings, right below guesthouse N°2, a small olive grove has been planted (roughly 3,000 sqm for a total of 80 trees planted in a 6 × 6 m pattern) and produces a small quantity of olive oil for personal use.
