17th-Century farmhouse with spa and 360° panoramic views in Val d’Orcia

This 430 m² stone Tuscan farmhouse, in a commanding and scenic location of the Val d´Orcia, offers a well-considered balance between historical character and contemporary living.

The building underwent a meticulous renovation completed in 2023, during which high-quality materials were chosen with care to preserve and enhance its centuries-old character. Elements such as travertine flooring and exposed wooden beams pay homage to its early 17th-century origins, while subtle architectural features suggest even earlier roots, possibly dating back to the late Roman period.

The house is laid out over two levels. The ground floor, currently functioning as a guest accommodation, includes a bright, south-facing living and dining area used as a communal space, three bedrooms each with private bathrooms, a wellness area complete with Finnish sauna, as well as a laundry and utility rooms. Each room has direct access to outdoor areas, some of which are partially screened to offer more privacy and quiet.
The upper floor, accessible from both an interior staircase and an external loggia, serves as the owners’ private residence. This level features a spacious kitchen with a traditional fireplace, a comfortable living room with its own hearth, one double bedroom, a second room presently used as an office, a bathroom with a bathtub, and a storage room.

A garage of approximately 100 m² was built as part of the recent works and includes a bathroom and travertine floors. Positioned beneath a solarium area, this space also offers potential for further use, such as an expanded spa.

The property includes approximately 1.3 ha of land, featuring a garden with an area set aside for a vegetable garden, a shared pond and a restored old well. A quiet seating area has been positioned to take in the sweeping views toward Monte Amiata and the tower of Radicofani—an ever-changing landscape that shifts in colour and atmosphere from sunrise to sunset throughout the seasons. Even at night, the setting continues to impress; the absence of light pollution allows for clear, uninterrupted views of the star-filled sky.
