Description:
RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE (CIR CODE: 052015AAT0165) Le Colombelline is located in a privileged position, framed by an extraordinary landscape of vineyards: on one side Montepulciano, on the other Montefollonico and Pienza with the picturesque Val di Chiana behind and with the Apennines on the horizon. Built at the end of the 18th century as a farmhouse dedicated to the cultivation of cereals, olive trees and pastures, the recent restoration work, the result of careful and skilful renovation, has bestowed on it charm and features in full respect of local tradition integrated with significant contemporary architectural choices, making it ideal for the holidays of our guests, whether with family, with friends or in couples. The structure has three floors, externally it is a typical Tuscan farmhouse in stone and bricks while internally it has high ceilings with chestnut beams and exposed terracotta tiles. Prestigious travertine in shades of beige is the choice for the flooring on all floors, while king size walk-in showers with resin pans characterise the bathrooms. The ground floor has exits into the garden and open internal passages framed by architraves in exposed iron so that the large living areas all communicate with each other in a functional and captivating circularity. The spacious, bright and well-equipped kitchen communicates with the living room, is connected to the dining room and has direct access out to the garden and, among the various pluses, is equipped with a Dekton countertop, an induction hob, an American fridge, a fully-equipped central island, an XL electric oven and a large dishwasher. The bedrooms with extra comfortable beds enjoy panoramic views of the Vino Nobile vineyards that frame the swimming pool and poetic glimpses of Montepulciano and Montefollonico; three bedrooms are on the ground floor while the first and second floors of the house are entirely dedicated to the other three, guaranteeing guests privacy and relaxation. Le Colombelline is immersed in the splendid scenery between the Val di Chiana and the Val d'Orcia, located just 4 km from the borgo of Montepulciano, a veritable treasure chest of the Renaissance that contains rare beauties, making it known throughout the world: culture, art, nature, cuisine, without forgetting the Vino Nobile, one of the most popular Italian wines. The house occupies a truly unique and perfect position for those who appreciate the countryside and privacy and, at the same time, the convenience of being near a town with all shops and services; the ideal location for visiting renowned tourist destinations such as Siena, Pienza, Cortona, San Gimignano, Montalcino, Assisi, Lake Trasimeno, Orvieto and Perugia. For wine lovers there are many choices: the property is located among the best Tuscan vineyards, renowned throughout the world for the excellent red wines produced in the hills of the Chianti regions, of Montepulciano (including that of the family business, owner of the house) and Montalcino. For those in search of relaxation and well-being, the renowned thermal spas of Chianciano Terme and Bagno Vignoni are less than 30 minutes away. Le Colombelline is located halfway between Florence and Rome: a pleasant 20-minute drive from the A1 motorway exit of Chiusi/Chianciano Terme along picturesque country roads past vineyards, olive groves and rows of cypresses.

The external dining area, between the dining room and the annex (for private use of the property), is shaded by a natural reed canopy in compliance with the landscape constraints of the area; served by the brick barbecue, it is located a few metres from the kitchen and next to the stone paving that leads to the swimming pool.

In the downsloping part of the property are young olive trees that have just been planted, the vineyard and hints of woodland typical of the hilly Tuscan area. The multiple direct exits to the garden allow easy use of this exclusive residence located in one of the most beautiful country areas in Italy.
