Casa Del Rondone
Located on a prestigious estate in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, this property has been restored by craftsmen and decorated in warm country style to offer most a most inviting holiday home. The travertine fireplace in the sitting room was originally designed for Cecil Pinsent for the main villa on the estate and the spiral staircase was based on a fifteenth-century model found in the nearby town of Montepulciano.
There is a pergola on one side of the house just beside the kitchen and another pergola on the terrace in front of the annexe near the pool. The lawned gardens designed by the English architect Peter Curzon are dotted with mature cypress trees and shrubs and roses. The views from the property and the pool area are simply magnificent. Some guests will want to relax by the pool, enjoying the views and local wine, others may wish to leisurely explore walking trails connecting local hamlets nestling in the hills.
There is an informal restaurant on the estate and further restaurants tucked away in nearby villages. The owners are happy to give their personal recommendations for restaurants, vineyards, markets, speciality food shops and sightseeing and are happy to arrange wine and olive oil tastings, riding tennis and mountain biking. The gardens on the main villa are open to the public and the estate is also a centre of cultural and artistic activities. Castelluccio, a medieval castle on the property, is the home of an international music festival. Incontri in Terra di Siena.
