Description

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. villa, from the old local dialect màndula, meaning mandorla (almond): the precious essential fruit in the old peasant diet whose tree dominated this area. It is the name of this villa built in 2019 with contemporary criteria of zero impact, with promotion of local materials and the local workforce: hand-made terracotta, chestnut-wood beams, oak parquet; modern, linear and totally white spaces. Light penetrates the deliberately oversized windows to ensure that everything is animated and pervaded by natural light which becomes a furnishing accessory. villa lies on a hill 350 metres above sea level, from where it dominates a splendid rural landscape, dotted with expanses of olive trees, vines and dense woods, bordered on the horizon by the peaks of Monte Amiata, an old extinct volcano which towers above the valleys between the provinces of Grosseto and Siena. It is located in an extraordinary area where the mountain slopes meet and merge with the wild Maremma, on one side sloping down towards the Tuscan coast and on the other side overlapping the rolling terrain of the Val d'Orcia. The villa, thanks to its secluded location within a farm estate which produces extra virgin olive oil, is perfect for welcoming those who want to lose themselves in a natural and relaxing dimension, where tranquillity and large green spaces reign supreme. Moving easily from the property, you can get to the many interesting destinations that characterise the immediate surroundings, from delightful little medieval towns, such as Abbadia San Salvatore, Arcidosso, Santa Fiora, Montalcino, Sovana or Pienza, to countless spa resorts, such as Saturnia, Bagni San Filippo, Bagno Vignoni, up to the Tyrrhenian coast and the parks and nature reserves, jewel of this splendid strip of Tuscan territory.
