Cerretalta Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

Villa Cerretalta is a villa for rent in Tuscany located in a wonderful position on a small hill surrounded by Brunello vineyards, within the national park of Val D'Orcia.

Originally Villa Cerretalta was built as a typical Tuscan farmhouse and was converted into a private house by the current owners. Part of the main building is dated back to the 15th century, whereas the other was rebuilt in the postwar period because of the damages it went through. The fully renovation of the estate has been respectful of its history, preserving the original structure of the house and as many architectural characteristics as possible. Some pieces of antique furniture in traditional Tuscan rural style have been included as well.

The property is set between the cities of Montalcino and San Quirico D'Orcia (both are about 10 km away), yet in few minutes you can reach the little town of Torrenieri (5 km) where you can find the nearest shops, supermarket and restaurants.
The owner occasionally uses the independent building nearby and whilst respecting your privacy will be at your disposal if you should need any help.

Villa Cerretalta is completely surrounded by hedges and fences to guarantee total privacy. Nonetheless, you have a wonderful sight over the countryside.
Once you enter the gateway, there is a large courtyard plenty of tables and chairs at guests’ disposal as well as the brick barbeque. Across the court there is a lovely area with a big round stone table and matching benches sheltered from the sun by a pergola. Here there is also a second way out from the property, down a stone staircase and through a small iron gate.
There are two garden areas.
The first one is bordered by mature trees, should the guests enjoy a peaceful shady lawn, and it is situated next to a white travertine floored space with tables, chairs and parasol. This is the perfect location where you can have your meals, while taking in the beautiful view over the surrounding farmland.
From here, few stone steps lead to the second garden that is located near the poolside.

A small gate possibly delimits the way so as to prevent little children from reaching the fenced swimming-pool area without permission. Some fruit trees, flowers and shrubs brighten the place and there is also a gazebo with table and chairs.
An extensive hedge marks the limits of the patch.

The access to the house is trough 3 km unpaved road (in good conditions).
