Typical Farmhouse In The Hills Of Val D’orcia

This characteristic farmhouse nestles among the rolling hills in the heart of Val d’Orcia and is located along the old road that climbed up towards the mountains. The main building, dating back to 1800, was completely renovated in the late 1980s. Currently divided into rooms and apartments for tourist accommodation, its internal layout would easily allow it to be reconverted into a private residence.
The farmhouse offers spacious living areas that ensure guests both comfort and privacy. These spaces are enriched by traditional beamed ceilings and charming fireplaces, adding character and warmth. The interiors are furnished with antique and recycled pieces, bringing a sense of affection, authenticity, and tradition. Former mangers have been ingeniously transformed into steps and countertops. The old sieves once used by grandparents to sift wheat have become captivating mirrors, while travertine benches invite relaxation where steps once stood. Unique chandeliers made from barrel hoops add a distinctive touch.
Each window frames a view like a painting, capturing the timeless rural beauty of the surroundings. The garden is beautifully maintained, adorned with flowers, plants, and aromatic herbs. The swimming pool, set at an ideal distance from the house, offers guests a peaceful and private retreat. Completing the property is a renovated but unfinished outbuilding, suitable for various uses depending on personal needs.

The farmhouse is located in the municipality of Castiglione d’Orcia, a medieval village perched on the ridge that rises from Bagno Vignoni, home to ancient Roman thermal baths, towards Mount Amiata. Famous for its historic fortress, breathtaking views over the Val d’Orcia, and its enviable summer climate, Castiglione d’Orcia is easily accessible via the Cassia road that connects Siena to Rome. Just a few kilometers away lie several other villages that form part of the region’s rich artistic heritage, such as San Quirico d’Orcia, Pienza, and Montepulciano, as well as spa towns like Bagno Vignoni, Chianciano Terme, and Bagni San Filippo. The food and wine offerings faithfully reflect Tuscan tradition: Montalcino, world-renowned for its Brunello wine, is just a 20-minute drive away along the road leading toward the coast. The nearest airports are in Rome and Florence.
