Profile
The complex (24+13 sleeping accommodations in total) consists in ancient houses divided in seven apartments and is situated in a hamlet atop a hill in Valdichiana, close to Montepulciano, in the province of Siena. The houses date back to the 18th century and in origin they formed a monastery. The complex overlooks the wonderful Tuscan countryside and the gentle hills covered with vineyards and olive groves. A magnificent garden surrounds the buildings; here lies the swimming pool, furnished with sunshades and sunloungers; in the garden there is also the barbecue equipment. Each apartment disposes of a private area furnished for eating outdoor.
The complex stands in an area rich not only in beauties of nature but also in art and culture. Famous towns, such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona and Montalcino, and important cities of art, such as Siena and Arezzo, lie within easy car distance.
The complex is also the ideal accommodation for those who love oeno-gastronomic tourism: in fact, this is the area in which famous wines, such the Nobile di Montepulciano and the Brunello di Montalcino, and excellent cheeses, such as the renowned pecorino di Pienza, are produced.
In the neighbourhood there are also riding stables, a tennis and a golf club.
Recently renovated and provided with all comforts, the seven apartments present the typical element of Tuscan rural architecture: terracotta-tiled and wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta-tiled floors, internal brick archways and walls in delicate pastel colours. One of the apartments disposes of a large kitchen, where guests can have their meals all together.
