Aristocratic Villa on the Outskirts of Siena
Set near the medieval town of Monteriggioni, the historic villa is positioned atop a hill offering sweeping views over the Tuscan countryside, just a 5 minute drive from Siena.
With 3 private gate access points from the road, the villa is approached via a stunning avenue of centuries-old cypress trees and is surrounded by elegant Italian gardens with a stunning terrace overlooking the Città del Palio. After sunset, the lights of the Tower of the Palazzo dei Priori twinkle in the distance.
The Tuscan villa is nestled in a 7.4 acre private park with an olive grove in production, and a lovely ‘limonaia’ (lemon house) which houses the potted lemon trees in the winter.
The traditional Tuscan estate has a reservoir pond dating back to 1877 which collects rainwater and irrigates the gardens naturally. Wildlife abound in this idyllic paradise in the Tuscan hills, and you will often see deer and fawns on the property.
The Tuscan villa was restored in the 1980s, retaining much of its original character. Inside the 9,396 square foot villa offers 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, several large reception rooms and a traditional Tuscan kitchen.
The villa comes with a 1-bedroom guardians apartment with separate entry.
