An historic, square, brick, and stone villa on a bluff, with long, long views. Dating from around 1750, abandoned since the 1940s, a beautiful plundered ruin transformed into a blissful hideaway by its Wall Street Trader & Artist owners. Restored to forever-house specifications, with a sculptor’s eye and a design-loving purse, the spirit, and layout of the property stay true to the Tuscan country house heart. Only 5 luxurious accommodations [six bedrooms] So much space left open. Large open retreat and socializing zones within on both floors. Outside: Walled Tuscan country garden. Nature. Soft lawns to pad about on. Large salt water pool with breezes and views. Comfort and escape whatever the weather.

THE TELEGRAPH: ‘Siena House is in Siena province, one of the most highly sought after areas of Tuscany, but it is still affordable.  It is a strikingly contemporary farmhouse B&B in very agricultural countryside a few miles north of Montepulciano, run by an English couple’ ~ Lee Marshall.

INDAGARE MAGAZINE: ‘A perfect launch pad to towns like Cortona to the east and Montepulciano and Siena to the north west, this 18th-century villa proves refreshingly contemporary on the inside even as it remains perfectly Tuscan country on the outside[….]the kind of setting that you might find at a stylish friend’s home, plus the sort of insider recommendations of where to eat and what to see nearby that can only be culled from ten years of experience in the area’ ~ Ondine Cohane.
