Villa Il Cedro is located just outside Sarteano, in a quiet residential area and in a very discreet position, immersed in the peace of the countryside and surrounded by greenery. The property is a splendid example of a Tuscan farmhouse renovated with great taste and elegance, both internally and externally. The rooms are characterised by the elegance of the furnishings and by the warm, welcoming tones. Pieces of contemporary design blend perfectly with high quality antique furniture. The terracotta floor confers warmth to the fully air-conditioned villa, while the large windows and glass doors ensure light in all the rooms. The heart of the house is the large living area on the ground floor, featuring a spacious hall and a modern kitchen with central island that open to the garden through multiple exits, teaming up with the alluring set-up areas surrounded by a radiant garden, a true oasis of peace where guests can enjoy the many well-kept green areas.

Completing this fascinating mix of ingredients is the strategic position of the villa, less than a kilometre from Sarteano, a medieval borgo rich in architectural masterpieces, located on the slopes of Mount Cetona, south of Siena, between the lower Val di Chiana and the rugged, wild Val d'Orcia, but also close to the regional borders of Lazio and Umbria. A short distance from the main motorway junction (Autostrada A1) and the Chiusi railway station, the villa is an excellent starting point for exploring the beauties in the immediate surroundings.
