This property is situated in the green hills of Valdichiana, stands on an ancient sandstone rock, in a dominant position with spectacular views over the Val d’Orcia. Purchased at the end of the 1980s, Casale Camilla underwent a major restoration that led to the union of what in the 1900s were two separate buildings. The property, which between 1790 and 1830 served as a post station for changing horses on a Roman road leading to Radicofani, has retained some of the original features of the previous buildings thanks to the perfect restoration. Casale Camilla, which takes its name from the centuries-old cypress tree located within the property, presents itself as a charming stone and plaster dwelling, which is accessed via wide, comfortable staircases made of Tuscan terracotta on tap. Upon entering the house, the wooden beams, the yellow tones on the walls, the brick arches and the terracotta floors immediately lead us into a warm atmosphere typical of the Tuscan style. The large living area, consisting of a living room and dining room, is characterised by three original stone arches and semi-circular windows with breathtaking views of the beautiful surrounding valley.
