FORTILIZIO 6

Toscana - Siena - RAPOLANO TERME

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only - CIR: 052026LTN0011). Fortilizio, situated at the edge of the town of Rapolano Terme, on a hilltop overlooking the Val di Chiana and the plain of the Sentino, and surrounded by woods of oak and chestnut trees, is an old watchtower, part of the larger complex of the "Castellare di Sarri," a thousand-year old fortified medieval hamlet of Lombard origin which, over the centuries, has retained its original structure, enclosed in large town walls, containing an armoury which later became a church with valuable, restored, fourteenth century frescoes and a second watchtower, which is currently the owners’ house. In an independent position and carefully converted by the current owners to become a comfortable country home, Fortilizio has maintained unaltered its architectural structure with the thick external and internal walls (ensuring pleasant temperatures either in the summer and in the winter) of the ground floor in open-face stone. For the internal décor tradition and local materials prevail: ceilings with exposed beams and tiles, floors in split slate and yellow Siena stone; the rooms are enriched with antique furniture but with customized details giving a touch of originality and lightness to the ancient charm of the building. A holiday in this charming hamlet, immersed in a natural oasis rich in history and art and very close to the famous spa town of Rapolano, is a unique opportunity to revitalize body and spirit in an experience involving all the senses. The proximity to major road links also make it an excellent starting point for exploring the many rural villages with their excellent cuisine in the immediate vicinity and for visiting the major art cities both in Tuscany and in nearby Umbria. The house is located about 70 metres from that of the owners, who stay only occasionally in the property and can be a useful reference point for guests to whom, however, complete privacy and exclusive use of the pool and of the park is guaranteed. In order to see more pictures of the medieval hamlet please visit the web site: www.castellaredisarri.org

FORTILIZIO HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

The house has two floors. The entrance on the ground floor leads on the right to the kitchen, toilet and laundry and, on the left, to the dining room and from there to the sitting room with sofas and satellite TV. A staircase in the entrance hall leads up to the first floor consisting of a twin bedroom with joinable beds with en-suite bathroom with shower and two double bedrooms, one with bed 1,40 m wide, sharing a bathroom with tub. This floor is completed by a sitting/reading room with sofas and fireplace.

Park:

The estate in which the house is situated covers an area of about 40 hectares, most of which are covered by woodland and, for a hectare and a half, by an olive grove. The park is completely fenced-in for about 1 hectare; here lawns alternate with paths and paved areas, everywhere flanked by colourful borders, medicinal plants, tall trees and fruit trees. The area of the hamlet belonging to the house has independent and direct access from the car park at the rear of the house, at the end of the inner, oleander-lined driveway and is bordered by a shady pine wood and by a large well-kept garden. In this green area framed by olive trees, in front of the French window at the entrance and kitchen, an outdoor dinning/living area has been set up, surrounded by hydrangeas, hibiscus and jasmine. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

Perfectly integrated in the hamlet, the pool is situated in a private, fenced-off area of the property, a few metres from the house and accessible through a gate for the safety of children, surrounded by a dense forest vegetation and framed on one side by a wall adorned with a rich assortment of succulent plants and bushes of colourful flowers. It is lined in PVC with travertine border; large steps lead down into the water and it has a outdoor shower. It measures 7 x 15 m with the depth varying from 1.2 m to 2 m. It has salt purification. The sunbathing area, with Tuscan travertine paving, is dominated by a large oak tree creating natural coolness and is equipped with sunbeds, chairs, little table, and lighting. The pool is open from the last Saturday in May to the last Saturday in September.

Pets: Yes, small size. € 50,00 per animal per week or part of week.

TO DO

Location and distances


Rapolano Terme is a small Tuscan town in the district of the Crete Senesi, where the clay waves that characterize the area begin to soften and dissolve into dense woodlands as they slope down towards the hills of Chianti and the verdant valleys of the blooming Val di Chiana. Famous for its spa and avant-garde medical and beauty treatments, as well as for the production of the famous travertine marble, the common denominator of the local architecture of churches and town squares, Rapolano is located in a geographical position that allows guests to explore the nearby picturesque villages, rich in castles, churches and fortresses. Road links are excellent: the E78 highway, a short distance away, allows guests to reach A1 motorway in less than half an hour and to get quickly and easily to major cities such as Siena and Arezzo as well as to the famous and evocative towns in the vicinity like Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Cortona and many more. From Rapolano, where guests can do their daily shopping, buses and trains leave for Siena and the larger railway station of Chiusi. Finally, golfers can practice their favourite sport at the 9-hole golf course in nearby Bettolle while, for those not wanting to miss out on a quality shopping spree, the Val di Chiana Outlet Village is a less than half an hour away.

Our hunter will introduce you to the exclusive world of truffles, from hunt to table. We will bring you along during this out-of-time experience that will become an indelible memory. You will spend an entertaining and enriching morning hunting for ‘edible gold’ in the scenic woods of Tuscany. Then, no matter what the season and what the hunt, at the end of the pursuit we will welcome you back with a truffle based Tuscan lunch in a local organic farm, where you will relax and also enjoy a tasting of their wines and other typical products. It’s time to sit in the terrace with a view on rolling hills and rows of vine and enjoy the fruit of your labor.
