This charming old stone farmhouse is set on a terraced hillside with stunning views across the unspoilt countryside between Monte Amiata and Montalcino. The Florentine owners spent years restoring the property, being careful to preserve the house's original terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. These now provide a backdrop to a tasteful and eclectic blend of modern and antique furnishings. The kitchen is large and well-equipped, the bedrooms full of light and the bathrooms thoroughly modern. A long swimming pool is set on a terrace next to the house and surrounded by five hundred-year-old olive trees, beyond which the magnificent landscape is visible. This is a splendid area for wine-lovers, walkers and historians alike: paths and narrow roads wind around top-notch wineries and fortresses dating as far back as the 8th century.
