Immersed in the classic Chianti hills, only 10 minutes from Siena by car, this beautiful farmhouse enjoys an exceptionally privileged panoramic position. It is located at the top of a hill from which you can admire the open spaces, olive groves, vineyards and woods of the surrounding area. The nearest grocery shops can be found in the village of Pianella, which is only 4 minutes away by car. Built in the 15th century as a watchtower, Monticelli rests on foundations that go back to the 12th century. The villa has 1,5 hectares of enclosed land and an Infinity pool equipped with an exercise jet, a system which allows you to swim against a current. The pergola adjacent to the swimming pool is furnished with wooden sun loungers. Under the swimming pool there is a pool room which has showers both inside and out. In harmony with the spacious and well-equipped kitchen, there is a charming terraced floor connected to the garden, which is furnished for outdoor dining. The living area is well-furnished with traditional country and antique furniture. The bedrooms are decorated in a more simple fashion, furnished with vintage furniture. The bathrooms are finished to a high standard, particularly that of the master bedroom, which has a beautiful bath placed in the centre of the room. The villa can be easily reached via a well-maintained gravel road.
