Description
PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). villa has been recently renovated with materials of typical Tuscan taste with the addition of the best mod cons, all in an exclusive setting. The exterior walls are in stone while precious local terracotta tiles cover the floors and the vaulted ceilings of the living area and bedrooms, all with air conditioning and simple furnishing that has subtle hints of Provençal style that confer character and vivacity to the rooms without making them too heavy. The beautiful rural countryside can be seen from the many windows of the house, from the terrace and from the well-maintained green park, a perfectly liveable outdoor area with pool and private parking area. The location combines all the advantages of a cosy, modern house on the enviable border between Umbria and Tuscany. It is one of the most fascinating areas of Tuscany, deep in the province of Siena which has always been known for its history, art, food and wine, for its natural beauties which include UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Val d'Orcia and for the large number of spa resorts that boast numerous thermal baths and wellness centres. The area is well connected by the railway station and motorway exit of Fabro (no more than 10 minutes away) which will take you to Orte, Perugia, Siena, Arezzo and many other unique attractions. About 150 m from the property there are a synthetic grass tennis court and a soccer field.

Amenities and feature
Location and distances
villa is situated in Palazzone, a small village in the comune of San Casciano dei Bagni, one of the most famous spa resorts of Tuscany. The villa is close to Fabro, a town served by the Autostrada del Sole and by a railway station on the Rome-Florence line so that you can choose whether to travel by car or by train to visit places such as Orvieto, Perugia, Montepulciano, Assisi or shopping centres like the Valdichiana Outlet Village. It will be just as pleasant to travel along the inner roads and visit Pienza and Montalcino across the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia, Cortona which overlooks the lush Val di Chiana, Castiglione del Lago encircled by Lake Trasimeno or the little picturesque medieval towns of Sarteano, Chiusi, Cetona and Città della Pieve. In addition to the thermal baths of San Casciano dei Bagni, with its exclusive spa, there are also the wellness centres and baths of Chianciano Terme with their beneficial waters. In Palazzone you will find food shops, bar and services for basic needs as well as tennis courts and five-a-side football fields (the latter are a few dozen metres from the house), whilst large supermarkets are to be found in San Casciano dei Bagni and Fabro (both just 10 minutes' drive away).
