TERRA DI SIENA 8

Toscana - Siena - CASTELNUOVO BERARDENGA

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only). Villa Terra di Siena is set in the countryside a few kilometres from the town; backdrop to the villa is the unmistakable Tuscan landscape, typical of the Chianti area, with olive trees, rows of vines and cypresses. The construction of the villa dates back to the 15th century, first as an old monastery and later as a farm. Its rich and evocative history still reflects today its ancient charm. Once past the surrounding walls, you come to a large internal courtyard around which are all the entrances to the various parts composing the villa. Within its exposed stone shell, ultra-modern rooms coexist with an old-fashioned touch: rustic-style finishes, real wood floors, exposed ceiling beams and restored furniture. The air-conditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, the fully-equipped kitchen, the welcoming living areas, the games and music rooms are the soul of the villa. The garden and terrace are embellished with elegant relaxation areas. The villa is the ideal place for listening to and playing music, for playing games. The splendid swimming pool and pool house help to make your dream of a perfect holiday with family or friends come true: a relaxing stay in a private setting, very close to the most beautiful and special attractions of Tuscany. Its location, 10 km from Siena, places it among the sunny landscapes of Tuscany and offers an incomparable network of destinations to explore: Volpaia, Panzano, Gaiole, Greve. These villages offer breathtaking views, allowing you to explore the full range of artistic, historical, food and wine attractions that surround the area. The neighbouring panoramic roads facilitate daily excursions to the towns of Florence, Arezzo, Montepulciano, San Gimignano or Volterra, all within easy reach. NB: if the property is rented in this solution, no other clients will be present in the entire structure.

TO DO

Location and distances


The historic region of Chianti is located right in the centre of Tuscany, between the cities of Florence to the north, Siena to the south and Arezzo to the east, and consists of the towns of Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti. This area constitutes a particularly important pole of attraction for the numerous historical testimonies of a past that dates back to the Etruscan era. Furthermore, the prestige that this area had in the Renaissance period is testified by the numerous medieval castles, all perfectly preserved, which you meet along the famous "road of castles". The Chianti landscape is perfect for horse riding in the tranquillity of the vast network of paths and dirt roads that wind through the woods and hills, and it also allows the visitor to explore the food and wine wealth that characterises this area. The airports of Florence, Pisa and Rome allow easy access to the region, as does the A1 motorway which, with the exits of Firenze Impruneta and Valdichiana, easily connects the towns of the Chianti area, Radda, Greve, Castellina, Volpaia, etc. to the rest of Tuscany. The closest railway station is in Siena.
