About this property
Hilltop house in the heart of Tuscany with private pool
This 'home' in Tuscany is a carefully restored and enlarged farm building dating back to the 18th century. Its hilltop setting between olive groves and wheat fields, just 1.5km outside historic Montisi, gives it a unique 'away-from-it-all feeling'. Yet the hamlet's bakery, grocery shop, bar/tabac and restaurants are just a leisurely 15 min stroll away between cypresses and olive trees. Views are stunning, with the area around the private pool particularly good for enjoying sunsets.
This is not a 'develop to let' property, but a house that for seven years served as a 'home' when the owners were posted overseas and is now their holiday home.
It is arranged over three floors;
- The top floor comprises a double bed room with en suite bathroom
- The first floor mirrors the top floor, except that it is laid out as a twin bedroom, with en suite shower/bathroom
- The ground floor offers fantastic views over the rolling country side and includes a 25 X 12 ft living room with a well stocked library and fireplace, as well as a fully equipped kitchen with a beautiful breakfast terrace.

About the host
Hosted by Catherine Niessen
I'm Catherine, I live in the UK, and have spent much of my life in and around Italy and all things Italian
Why they chose this property
Steeped in tradition, all the good things in life. You can do as much or as little as you wish, its bliss
What makes this property unique
Uninterrupted views of the Crete Senese and looking to the towers in Siena 40kms away. No light pollution, night skies filled with an abundance of stars. We are at the end of a one km white road, flanked by olive trees, an oasis of calm yet a 20 minute walk to the heart of Montisi to drink a coffee at the bar or enjoy a fabulous dinner in the centre of town
