Villa I Gelsi

Located in the splendid northern area of Siena, just five minutes from the historic town centre, this magnificent 19th-century villa of approximately 700 square metres was skilfully renovated in the 1980s. Access to the property, guaranteed by three vehicular entrances, is via a charming cypress-lined avenue leading to an elegant staircase.

The main entrance on the ground floor opens onto a large reception room with an adjoining sitting room. From here, a hallway leads to a study with bathroom and to another spacious room, which connects directly to the large kitchen and a second service entrance. The floor is completed by a lemon house, accessible from outside.

Going up to the first floor via the masonry staircase, one reaches a corridor providing both direct access to the rear garden and entry to a second large reception room. This room serves as a connecting area for the sleeping quarters, comprising three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. A smaller staircase finally leads to the second floor, where there is a large attic relaxation area, two smaller bedrooms and a further bathroom. This level also includes the attic spaces, divided into four rooms, of which only the first has a usable floor.

As regards the underground areas and ancillary facilities, the villa offers extensive storage spaces. From the ground-floor study, stairs lead down to a first cellar, which provides access to the drainage void and to a further underground cellar, while a third basement cellar can be reached directly from inside the lemon house.

Next to the villa stands a small independent apartment, used as the caretaker’s residence. It comprises an entrance hall adjoining a corridor, a kitchen, three habitable rooms and a bathroom. The property also includes two small storage buildings located in a separate structure away from the main building.

All the buildings are surrounded by a private garden, which also includes the park area and a rainwater collection basin, situated in the highest part of the land. The property extends further around the buildings and includes agricultural land of various types and cultivated areas, including a small olive grove, covering a total area of more than 3 hectares.
