Beautiful eclectic renovation within walking distance of the unspoiled town of San Casino dei Bagni 6/Bedrooms/6 Bathrooms. From $8,800 per week
Tuscany-Southeast/Val D'Orcia Villa 12
Once an old schoolhouse, San Cascaino has been spectacularly refurbished with a mix of eclectic taste, local arts and crafts, and a dash of ethnic flavor. The property is in a beautiful stretch of southern Tuscany that sits between Rome and Florence, with open, breathtaking views.
What makes this house so desirable is its immediate access on foot – literally five minutes -- to one of Tuscany's’ most charming and complete hill towns, San Casciano dei Bagni. It is charming, elegant, authentic and local. Plus it is very much alive with services and activity –two seriously good restaurants, a casual pizza joint, the Bar Centrale where the town gathers for the morning cappuccino and a bit of gossip and which serves excellent gelato and stocks the International Herald Tribune, three choices for bread and/ or pastry, a butcher, two small general stores, an ATM, and several gift shops as well as arguably Tuscany’s most important and luxurious spa. Plus a particularly unique feature – a piazza with a billion dollar view of the Val d’Orcia.
The view is the same you will enjoy when you are standing on the wide, broad central outdoor living room/dining room of La Scuola, visible through a protective screen of tall trees. And when you are not out and about, this is surely where you will be in the warmer months. The house embraces this lovely outdoor ‘room’ from three sides, with tall double doors facilitating a seamless and gracious flow of indoor/outdoor living.
As you enter th house, a spacious entrance hall with high ceilings greets you, and you are led to a large living room and dining area with fireplace. The design is impeccable: crisp, white sheets; custom-designed sofas; long, welcoming tables; and lanterns to light up the evenings. The tastefully decorated living room has direct access to the outdoor lounge area, which features a beautiful swimming pool, which can be heated upon request to be enjoyed during the off season as well.. This oasis is surrounded by modern, comfortable outdoor furniture and a comfortable terrace to work, eat or relax. The fully-equipped, contemporary kitchen is perfect for family meals. The beautiful and peaceful master suite has an en suite bathroom with a beautiful spa tub. Rounding out the property are two queen bedrooms and three twin bedrooms, all spacious and lovely, with en suite bathrooms with showers.
Restaurants and all services are available in the village. The world renownded Fonteverde health spa is five minutes away, where all treatmnets are available.
