Description

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only). villa is located at about 560 m above sea level, in an impressive territory where the slopes of Monte Amiata meet and meld gently with the wild Maremma that, on one side, slopes down towards the Tuscan coast and, on the other, extends to the rolling lands of the Val d'Orcia. It is a rustic rural home with a welcoming interior, air-conditioned bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen that opens out to a large portico where you can enjoy alfresco meals in the tranquillity of the well-kept garden, full of a multitude of plants, Mediterranean herbs and fruit trees. The pride of the property is the splendid modern swimming pool with a solarium that extends like a terrace over the infinite panorama, framing a breathtaking view over the picturesque hills of the Val d'Orcia, giving guests a fascinating anticipation of the numerous possible itineraries. villa is the ideal place for enjoying privacy and tranquillity without having to forego the amenities in the immediate vicinity as it is located just outside the borgo of Castel del Piano, about 800 m from shops, restaurants and cafés, just a short walk away. Within easy reach of the property are many places of interest that characterise the immediate surroundings, from delightful little medieval towns like Abbadia San Salvatore, Arcidosso, Santa Fiora, Montalcino, Sovana or Pienza, to countless spa resorts like Saturnia, Bagni San Filippo or Bagno Vignoni, to the Tyrrhenian coast and to parks and nature reserves, gem of this splendid strip of Tuscan territory. NB. Next to the house is a building where the owner lives that is part of the same structure, with independent access. Furthermore, the two areas of the garden are well bounded by hedges and flower beds to guarantee privacy.

The villa has two floors connected by an internal staircase.

Both these rooms have access to the portico through French windows. The ground floor is completed by a bathroom with shower. The upper floor consists of the sleeping area, with two double bedrooms (with queensize bed), one with en-suite bathroom with shower, another double bedroom and a bathroom with tub. (Please note: the fireplace ornamental).

Park

The park of villa extends over a total area of about 2000 sq m on two terraces, of which the lower one is occupied by the pool and a large expanse of lawn brightened by typical shrubs and rose bushes. From the gate with independent entrance, you come to the parking area near the entrance to the house. Outside the French windows is the large portico arranged with seating area, dining table and a stone barbecue. In front is the garden with manicured lawn, fruit trees and potted plants. In an adjoining annex is the laundry room.

Swimming Pool

The beach entry pool measures 13 x 5 m and slopes down to a maximum depth of 1.40 m. It is lined in PVC, with internal lights and chlorine purification.

Location and distances

Situated on the side of Monte Amiata, the medieval borgo of Castel del Piano is a health resort surrounded by chestnut woods. It is an ideal holiday spot in all seasons thanks to its natural beauty (trekking paths, ski pistes, nature reserves etc). We are in a geographical area characterized by different scenarios: from the mountain top to the valleys sloping gradually towards the Maremma, on one side, and to the Val d'Orcia, on the other, until you get to vast cultivations of olives and vines. The property is an excellent starting point for the spa towns of Saturnia, Bagno Vignoni, Bagni San Filippo, Chianciano Terme and San Casciano dei Bagni, known for their exclusive wellness centres and spas. You can also find history, art, culture, cuisine and typical local products enclosed in the villages of Pienza, Montalcino, Sovana, Scansano and, towards southern Tuscany, Montepulciano, Sarteano and Cetona. Siena and Grosseto are both about an hour's drive away, as is the Maremma Regional Park and the beaches of Marina di Grosseto, Talamone and Castiglione della Pescaia. Many discoveries found in the immediate vicinity relating to the Paleolithic, Neolithic and the Apennine civilization and the Etruscan and Roman periods, make ancient origins of Castel del Piano. Perhaps the Etruscans exploited the mines of cinnabar (mercury) of Mount Amiata and even the earth "tubular" located near the village. 890, Casale Plana (Castel del Piano) is among the possessions of the great Benedictine-Cistercian Abbey of Abbadia San Salvatore. The Palio of Castel del Piano is held every year on September 8 and is preceded by the "parade", which is the allegorical representation of historical events between 1330 and 1571.
