Overview
This lovely and spacious stone country home was once an abbey overlooking the green and fertile hills of the val d’Orcia and Montalcino, south of Siena. The furnishings are very comfortable and perfect for the architectural surroundings with spacious rooms, vaulted ceilings and modern amenities. All of the bathrooms are finely restored with travertine marble and wood detailing. The pool is also in green marble and there are terraces overlooking the olive groves and hilltop town of Montalcino.
The history of this home can be traced back to the year 1000 A.D. with architectural details that are fascinating. The medieval pilgirm route, via Francegena, once passed through the property. Surrounded by garden, terraces and lovely views onto olive groves, vineyards and Montalcino, this property offers a very comfortable and unforgettable retreat, ideal for visiting Siena and charming hilltop towns such as Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, Montepulciano and Bagni Vignoni.
