VILLA ALFIA

Sleeps 16
Bedrooms 8, Bathrooms 8+1/2
Val d’Orcia, Siena – Tuscany

Located in one of the most charming areas of Tuscany, the Val D’Orcia, this villa is introduced by a manicured lawn hidden between the fields, and located nearby Montepulciano and Pienza. Set on a hill, the two-level house affords views of the scenic landscape from almost every angle. On the sweeping grounds, there’s an infinity-edge pool, a fire pit with benches in stone, and a vast green area. Hidden away, yet very close to the town of Chianciano Terme, this estate offers eight bedrooms decorated in elegant style with white and color-washed walls in pale shades, contemporary fabrics, and bespoke furnishing.

The estate includes 20.000 square meters of private grounds, gardens, and private property. The interiors include a spacious living room, a dining area next to a real wood pizza oven, a well-equipped kitchen with a long island for aperitifs or cooking classes, a music room, and a secondary living room on the first floor. The interior of the property measures 480 square meters.

There are a maximum of 20 meters to reach the house from the parking spot and cars can be brought right in front of the entrance if necessary, no stairs to enter the property and the house features 2 levels. The swimming pool is accessed through no stairs.

The home design, approached with research in the historical context, results in a contemporary style with quality white wooden boards and modern white tiled floors. Wood-beamed ceilings on the second floor lend an airy feel to the interiors. Elements of classic Italian residential architecture, such as nude stone walls, refined with original red bricks and travertine stones defining the windows, are combined with contemporary touches, like the bathtubs in the bedrooms, near the beds, the wood platform of bedroom n.1 and the contemporary stone fire pit. Aesthetically, the house recalls traditional typologies, as well as common materials for the Tuscan countryside including marble and Cotto locally sourced. A contemporary influence, however, was the decision to include two modern kitchens and showers refined in colorful stucco. Modern yet very comfortable, this is an elegant retreat with a stylish aura and a welcoming vibe, blending traditional and modern Tuscan architecture

The peaceful and serene surroundings of this property make it a particular fit for guests who love privacy, nature, and relaxation. Independently rented car(s) is a necessary amenity to enjoy this property.
