IT972 Sarripoli

Villa near Montepulciano - this restored Tuscan farmhouse with private pool is set in a picturesque location near the lovely town of Montepulciano in the south of Tuscany. Careful renovation using local materials and traditional building methods has created a fine residence, ideal for a family or group looking to enjoy this attractive area of Tuscany.

The villa is let as a single house; however, the ground and first floor can be divided into two separate apartments which means it is also ideal for two families travelling together, or a family with older children who prefer some space (there is an internal interconnecting door). There are two independent external entrances to each floor, and the upper level can be accessed via an external staircase if preferred. Both floors have their own dining and kitchen areas as well as their own terraces. Throughout, the decor is traditional Italian with tiled floors, beamed ceilings and wrought iron beds, and the furniture is in an attractive country style. The private swimming pool is located to the rear of the property at a lower level, accessed via steps going down via a terraced garden area. There are pleasant views from the property across the surrounding countryside.

The attractive medieval/Renaissance hilltop town of Montepulciano is close by: famous for its 'Vino Nobile di Montepulciano' and 'Rossi di Montepulciano' wines, you will find plenty of wine cellars, shops and restaurants here. Further afield are Cortona, Siena, Montalcino, Perugia and Lake Trasimeno, which would all make excellent day trips.
