Tuscan villa with stunning views! | House in Cetona
5 Bedroom House in Cetona
This beautiful charming country house seems to be right out of a fairy tale, and definitely in the dreams of those longing for a Tuscan country home experience. Your journey to 'Il Felceto' takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Tuscany before you arrive to an elegant iron gate. Behind this gate is a long driveway flanked by cypress trees on both sides and in the distance sits this enchanting stone house surrounded by gardens and stone foot paths. It's a home that has everything: privacy and tranquility among 5 acres of spacious lawns that stretch out to panoramic views of the Val d'Chiana and Val d'Orcia, enchanting outdoor areas for dining and relaxing, a well-equipped kitchen that includes a countertop working fireplace that is a must for every Italian home for toasting bread, roasting chestnuts, grilling steaks. The outdoor spaces are picture perfect with privacy and views, a swimming pool set among sprawling lawns and bordered by an olive grove.
And while you have the privacy and solitude without another house in site, it is hard to believe that you are just under 2 miles from a very quaint village of 750 inhabitants where you can enjoy a typical Tuscan meal in a local trattoria sitting among the 'natives', or shop alongside mothers and grandmothers for your local produce and meats. You are in the heart of the Val d'Chiana, home of the beef breed Chianina, famous for the bistecca alla Fiorentina that is on almost every Tuscan menu.
There are many opportunity for day trips - Cetona, named one of the most beautiful villages of Italy, is reached within 10 minutes. Montepluciano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Torrita di Siena and Trequenda are all waiting for you to explore. Further out but still within an hour's drive is Siena to the northwest and Umbria to the east, and so many lovely towns in between. Any drive will include picturesque views of lines of cypress and clusters of pine trees, cottages dotting panoramic fields.
The owners of 'Il Felceto' have transformed this farm with a 1000 year old watch tower into a fabulous country home that has all the charm of the old world yet the convenience of modern comforts.
