This delightful property is located in the heart of the Crete Senesi zone south of the city of Siena. This area is characterized by its rich clay earth - the famous terra di Siena - and its almost other-worldly landscapes. The charming village of Trequanda lies just four kms away and Siena itself is just a short drive away.
The original structure is in typical rustic style - with terra cotta floors, exposed clay brick walls, wooden beams and original frescoes - and dates back to the 17th century. In the year 1802 , The Villa was converted into a summer retreat. The present owner, is a descendant of the famous Sienese noble Socini and Ricci families, who were bankers, notaries and theologians in Siena since the 14th century. Together with his lovely wife, he undertook a massive restoration of the property between 1995 and 2000 which forms part of an extensive estate which produces organic extra virgin oil and wine .
A picturesque avenue of cypresses leads to a beautiful forecourt in Siena brick. The house is furnished with antique family furniture and fine design details . There is a large panoramic terrace on the upper floor which offers an unforgettable view of the nearby village of Trequanda.
It's remarkable to know that the wine produced at the Estate is one of the best and most appreciated in the wordl. The Estate enologist Carlo Ferrini has been appointed "the best enologist of the year 2007".
