About the property

Nestled in a charming corner of the Sienese countryside, between the historic wonders of San Gimignano and Colle di Val d’Elsa, this beautifully restored villa offers a dreamlike escape into the heart of Tuscany. Located in a picturesque medieval village, where time seems to stand still, the property exudes an authentic atmosphere that transports you to another era.

The property is accessed via a captivating cypress-lined avenue that gently guides you toward this enchanting home. From a small, stone-paved terrace, you enter the villa, where an inviting warmth fills every corner. The ground floor boasts a spacious and light-filled kitchen, the heart of the home; a living room with a charming fireplace that beckons for cozy evenings; and a stylish bathroom. The traditional Tuscan features—exposed chestnut beams and terracotta floor tiles—create a welcoming and timeless atmosphere. A beautiful brick staircase leads you to the upper floor, where two peaceful bedrooms and another bathroom complete the living quarters.

The restoration was done with impeccable care, preserving the rustic beauty of the original structure while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. The space is a true testament to Tuscan craftsmanship, with every detail thoughtfully chosen to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Just a short distance from the villa, there are two outbuildings, each with its own unique charm. The larger of the two, approximately 28 square meters, has been beautifully renovated and now serves as a guest house, perfect for hosting visitors or creating a private retreat for reading and relaxation. The smaller annex, about 12 square meters, remains in a raw state, offering the opportunity to personalize and transform it into whatever space you desire.

Beneath the villa lies a hidden gem: a stunning 90-square-meter cellar carved into the tuff stone. Once used for crushing the region's olives, the cellar still holds the original millstones, rounded stones once turned by donkeys, adding a rustic, historical touch to the property. A portion of the cellar was also used for winemaking, and the original winemaking equipment is still in place, offering a glimpse into the agricultural traditions of the area.

Surrounded by a private garden of 500 square meters, the villa enjoys panoramic views over the rolling Tuscan hills, dotted with vineyards and olive groves—a landscape that seems to be straight out of a painting. It's the perfect sanctuary for those who dream of living in harmony with nature, yet still want to be within easy reach of culture, history, and modern conveniences.

The location is ideal for anyone who seeks tranquility without sacrificing accessibility. Colle di Val d’Elsa is just 7 km away, San Gimignano is 14 km, Volterra is 20 km, and Siena is 30 km, all easily reachable for exploring the rich art and history that this region offers.

This property is not just a home; it’s a dream come true. A place where the past and present blend effortlessly, creating a timeless Tuscan retreat.
