Description

CIN CODE: IT052031B5HYOYDDEH

Discovering Tuscany in the company of friends and loved ones is a lifelong experience. Doing so in privacy and spacious comfort makes it all the more enjoyable. In lower seasons it is possible to rent the villa for smaller groups. Please enquiry.

Villa Tramonto lords over 10 private acres and is surrounded by rolling, wooded hills and lush meadows. Completely restored, the farmhouse is built on a sloping rise and occupies the highest point. The pool along with a furnished covered patio and wood burning barbecue occupy the lowest level.

Shade trees are everywhere, providing cool rustling breezes and utter seclusion. Amidst the sheltering privacy, there are also strategic clearings showing views of one of Tuscany's most prized possessions - its striking and untouched countryside. The most far reaching panorama is from the villa's furnished patio.

This non-smoking farmhouse offers interiors that are authentically restored yet comfortable for modern day living. All the bedrooms are air conditioned along with the living room, dining room and billiard area. A well thought out floor plan creates plenty of space with living and dining rooms opening into one another. Modern appliances seamlessly mesh with original cotto floors and an open hearth fireplace in the living room. All of the property's windows are screened, and the house has a washer and dryer.

The cozy living room opens onto the dining room which comfortably seats all. A large square dining table let's everyone converse at mealtime. A billiard table adds entertainment to the entry foyer. To emphasize the home's tasteful décor, each bedroom has its own bathroom and personality expressed by various color schemes. One bedroom in the main house is a tad larger and comes with a balcony and two French beds.

Chefs will adore the main villa's country kitchen. This long narrow hall sets its appliances at one end, a farmer's table for preparation in the center and an 18th-century, wood burning oven and a waist-high fireplace for grilling at the opposite end. Beside the pool, a covered dining area with a marble top table, a wood burning barbecue, a pizza oven and a small refrigerator make it just as enjoyable to cook outside.

The last uphill mile leading to the property is unpaved and bumpy and is best navigated with smaller rental cars. A minibus does not fit the width of the driveway.

The gorgeous hill town of Cetona, 10 minutes away by car, features alluring boutiques, wealthy residents - Giorgio Armani and others maintain residences here - good restaurants, medieval and Renaissance churches, palaces, forts and a weekly outdoor market every Saturday. Notable among the town's many events are the Corsa delle Brocche, a historic race held the last week in July; the Fall Fair on the last Sunday in November and the olive oil festival on the last weekend of the year.

Sarteano, also a 10 minute drive away has a medieval dinner on August 8th and offers more restaurants, shops and markets; Mt.
