This elegant and sophisticated townhouse sits on a quiet piazza on the edge of a charming 13th century village. Private gardens with small plunging pool with built in seating in your backyard, yet from your garden and front doors a short stroll leads you to the town's restaurant for morning coffee, relaxing lunch or dinner, a small grocery store and church!
Just 45 minutes southeast of Siena, in an area known as Le Crete Sienese, you are centered around charming villages to explore and enjoy. Visit the famous wine towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino, taste the finest olive oils of Trequenda, soak in Tuscany's most luxurious spas in San Casciano dei Bagni and Chianciano Terme and experience the charms of both the storybook village of Pienza, completely transformed by Pope Pius II into the ideal Renaissance town of the 15th century and the sleepy village of Torrita di Siena. The larger town of Sarteano is where the Italians do their shopping and Chiusi has excellent train service that will whisk you off to Florence for the day. You will find so much to do here that a week, or a month, is never enough.
This ancient home was originally known as a palazzo signorile, translated to Noble's or gentleman's house. Today the new owner has restored it to a current noble home, with a collected mix of of antiques and modern furnishings from his world travels - blending the old and new with a sense of style and comfort. Here you will enjoy the many little luxuries that sets this house apart from many smaller homes, such as luxury designer sheets and winter/summer hypo-allergenic duvets and pillows, wine refrigerator, 42 inch flat screen TV, iPod station, DVD player, washer AND dryer, complimentary Wi-Fi, workspace with printer for your computer, small plunging pool and a relaxing garden with two terraces.
