Finestra Su Siena 16

Less than 10 km from the historic town centre of the most Gothic town in Tuscany, a concentration of artistic and architectural, environmental, cultural and gastronomic wonders, we find Finestra su Siena (Window on Siena), an old stone farmhouse that shines again thanks to an exclusive and recent salvage operation which has preserved the original architecture while adapting it to a contemporary style, practical yet very elegant. The pickled wooden beams, the enchanting shades of the interior walls, the light-coloured windows and doors, wooden floors alternating with original terracotta floors, classic furniture combined with accessories of modern design are some of the characteristic features of this impressive building, which is spread over four floors and can comfortably accommodate up to 16 people. Guaranteeing top-class service are the spacious communal areas with comfortable sitting rooms, modern kitchens on the main floors and air-conditioned bedrooms with beautiful private bathrooms. To complete this idyllic picture is the well-kept park, an exclusive pool and the splendid view that stretches across the green rolling hills dotted with vinyards and olive trees to the outlines of the city of Siena: the perfect setting for regenerating body and spirit supported by the rhythms of nature, but also for having at hand all the sought-after tourist destinations that surround the medieval city of the Palio: the valleys of the Orcia and the Chiana, the Crete Senesi, Chianti and the not-to-be-missed towns of eternal charm like Montalcino, Pienza, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, all easily reachable along splendid scenic roads bordered by towering cypresses and enchanting landscapes. Well connected to fast major roads for tourist destinations and airports, the property is very close to the train station and the main town shopping centres (7 km).
