Villa Le Crete

This characteristic finely restored Villa stands out on a panoramic hill and is surrounded by 3 hectares of land. The property enjoys a wonderful 360 ° view of the Crete Senesi and Montalcino. The owners, in full respect of materials and nature, have been able to reconcile the taste of the antique with a very modern design. You reach the farmhouse along a comfortable and short white road, behind Castelnuovo Tancredi. The imposing property is accessed through an elegant Mediterranean garden. From the very first steps, one cannot help but admire the elegant floors in local stone alternating with travertine. Looking up you can see the ceilings with the characteristic sail vaults, as well as, in some rooms, the typical wooden beam ceilings. The play of light that the owners wanted to create through the lighting system enhances all these elements even more. The ground floor of the Villa is entirely used as a living area, even if the generous floor plan allows one of the numerous rooms to be converted into a master bedroom. The imposing living area, decorated with ancient supporting columns, is in communication with the kitchen and can accommodate many people. A glass door leads to the garden and the beautiful travertine infinity pool. The wrought iron gazebos and the barbecue area adjacent to the pool allow enjoying this space even in the evening. Returning to the villa and climbing an ancient travertine staircase, you reach the sleeping area, through a large corridor adorned with round arched windows. All the rooms enjoy stunning views and comfortable travertine en suite bathrooms. The property is completed by two large annexes, one of which is used as a leisure area and bar while the other is a completely independent private suite. The rolling hills and the reflection of a natural lake in the background transport us to a context of rare beauty and peace.
The property is located a few steps from the ancient Sienese garrison called Castelnuovo Tancredi, on the ancient road that leads to Montalcino passing through Castiglion del Bosco. The area is the perfect compromise for those who want to enjoy the proximity to the city – Siena is only about 30 km away – and at the same time love getting lost in the Crete Senesi and later in the Val D’Orcia. The first international airport is less than two hours away by car and therefore the house is excellent for those who want to enjoy total privacy without sacrificing comfort and speed in reaching it. Buonconvento, the first town where there are supermarkets, boutiques and renowned restaurants, is exactly 8 minutes by car.
