La Frazzaia
A romantic and elegant home for those who want to be near to Cetona but equally want privacy and seclusion in particularly lovely surroundings. Located at the edge of Cetona, as one approaches Frazzaia, there are intriguing glimpses through the trees of the drive, finally opening up as one arrives to reveal the most lovely views imaginable – Cetona, nestling on a hillside across a green valley – far enough to ensure privacy, but near enough to be a complete surprise. Walking to the house is particularly attractive with a green valley and wooded hills as a backdrop on the South side – but always the view of Cetona. This elegant house is furnished in a mixture of contemporary and rustic style and is ideal for modern living, with the spacious ground floor rooms all connecting and with French windows leading to the beautiful terrace.
The pretty conservatory makes a perfect place to sit and the master bedroom has its own south-facing balcony for quiet reading or writing. The creative owner, who lives unobtrusively next door, is a passionate gardener and the huge, old terracotta pots either with lemon trees or overflowing with flowers are always admired. The lawned gardens contain shrubs and mature trees all leading to the pretty pool area with a pergola from where there are picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. Sitting on the terrace, as dusk falls with the scent of flowers and stars overhead is truly romantic, minutes away from Cetona’s piazza for a drink, or dinner in a restaurant. Highly recommended.
