Main Features
Description
Reaching the village involves following a narrow, winding country road — but any hesitation fades the moment you arrive. The journey itself is a scenic immersion in the Tuscan landscape, and what lies at the end is nothing short of magical. It’s a place where time seems to slow down, and where every view feels like a painting.
In the 1990s, a couple with a deep appreciation for heritage and craftsmanship undertook the restoration of three original homes in the village. Using traditional materials and authentic methods, they brought these buildings back to life while preserving their rustic charm. This house is one of those restorations — a rare example of historical integrity combined with a peaceful, lived-in elegance.
A private parking space sits just inside the garden, and from there, a set of stone steps leads up to a panoramic terrace that enjoys the full warmth of the afternoon sun. It’s the perfect spot to relax, dine, work remotely, or simply sit with a glass of wine and watch the light move across the hills. The views stretch over olive trees and vineyards, offering an ever-changing tapestry of color and texture.
The house’s kitchen opens onto a second garden terrace — a quiet, private space ideal for enjoying breakfast outdoors or dinner under the stars. The indoor and outdoor areas are beautifully connected, making this home feel open, welcoming, and perfectly in tune with its surroundings.
Inside, the house features a spacious and high-ceilinged living room with exposed beams and plenty of space for a large dining table and comfortable seating. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, with natural materials and thoughtful details throughout. The living area flows directly into the kitchen, which, in turn, opens to the exterior garden, allowing for a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty.
Upstairs, a low landing connects to a bathroom with a shower that was tastefully renovated in 2016. There are two attic-style bedrooms on this floor. One is especially large and features built-in storage, while both offer a cozy, peaceful ambiance and views that remind you exactly where you are — in the heart of Tuscany.
The house is being sold fully furnished, with the exception of one mirror in the sitting room and a few personal belongings. It’s truly move-in ready, ideal as a primary residence, holiday home, or even as a rental investment. The septic tank was installed in the 1990s and is shared with a neighboring property. It has always functioned well and has required no intervention. Heating is provided via a communal LPG gas tank, which is also shared with neighbors and ensures reliable and efficient warmth during the cooler seasons.
There is also believed to be an old footpath that once led directly down to Valdottavo. If still accessible, it could offer a scenic and enjoyable walk into the nearby town, adding even more charm to this already extraordinary location.
For those seeking a genuine Tuscan experience — one steeped in nature, history, and quiet beauty — this stone house offers a rare opportunity. It’s not just a property; it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and savor the paradise that is rural Tuscany.
