Villa Overlooking Siena: A Tuscan Dream

If you are dreaming to own a luxury historic villa in Tuscany with a postcard view of Siena, then you are in the right place: get up in the morning, step down to the living room, open the french window and Siena is standing out in front of you. Torre del Mangia and the bell tower of the Cathedral seem to be watching over the villa.

Just 4 km from Porta Pispini, one of the main doors leading to the Centre of Siena, the property is located in a very private position, immersed in the nature and surrounded by a 2 hectares land.

The Villa

The villa has very ancient origins dating back to around the beginning of the 1900s and has been remodeled over the centuries. The last renovation was done in 2000 and it concerned the roof, the facades, bathrooms and fixtures, so the house is in excellent condition. The total area of the villa is about 495 sq.m. on 3 floors and divided as follows:

Ground Floor:
The big old door leads to the hall of house and from here you, on your right, you can access the lovely spacious living room, with french window leading out to the courtyard overlooking Siena. The paved patio will let you enjoy pleasant dinners out, with the lights of Siena that will illuminate your evening. The living room features several windows, thus guaranteeing plenty of light all day.

From the living room, you access the official dining room, connected to the dinette and spacious kitchen. From the kitchen you can access a big room, that could be used as a roomy larder and laundry room. The ground floor also features a charming study/reading room, a guest bathroom, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, all accessible directly from the outside through a secondary door.

First Floor:
On the first floor there are 2 wide double bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms: all 4 rooms enjoy plenty of light and beautiful views over Siena or the flourishing nature surrounding the property. On the same floor, there are 2 bathrooms (one with shower and one with Jacuzzi) and a lovely living room with french window leading out to the terrace (about 30 sq.m.) with pergola. This side looks opposite Siena, but it still surprises you, since from here you can see from a distance the amazing Castle Quattro Torra.

Basement:
The basement measures approximately 165 square meters and consists of several rooms: an old cellar where you can store your selection of wines, a warehouse for storing garden tools, and a room used as an ironing room.

The Land

The Villa is surrounded by a 2 hectares land with olive grove and a “secret path” leading down to the small wood, where you can find more peace and silence. Opposite the house there is a 50 sq.m. outbuilding, used as a garage and storage for tools.

The Location

The location of this exclusive property is simply peerless, striking a perfect balance for those who desire absolute privacy and peace yet wish to remain deeply connected to the pulse of a major cultural city. The historic Porta Pispini is a mere 1.6 km away, placing the grandeur of Siena on your doorstep. The legendary Piazza del Campo, the vibrant heart of the city, is only 2.8 km distant, meaning the medieval splendour, world-class dining, and prestigious events like the Palio are easily accessible.

It is effortless to fall in love with Siena. Its sun-baked stones, winding medieval streets, and stately historic palazzi exhale a timeless beauty. So profound is its unique architecture and charm that its entire historic centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Culture breathes on every corner, its roots stretching deep into antiquity.

The churches of Siena are priceless jewels of culture and wonder, many of them dating back to the Middle Ages and preserving their original, elegant authority. The museums housed within are unique custodians of inestimable treasures, reflecting centuries of art, faith, and civic pride. Siena stands, in the collective imagination, as one of Tuscany’s most significant medieval cities.

Beyond the city walls, the entire region is a canvas of breathtaking landscapes, ancient abbeys, historic palaces, and charming medieval hamlets. The Terre di Siena encompasses nine municipalities, each offering its own distinctive flavour of Tuscan life. Siena: The city of art and the Palio. Asciano: Surrounded by the exquisite, rolling Crete Senesi. Buonconvento: Celebrated as one of the most beautiful villages in all of Italy. Chiusdino: Famous for its ancient Abbey, which reputedly houses the legendary sword in the rock. Rapolano Terme: Home to some of Italy’s finest spa and thermal centres.

This villa is not just a residence; it is a gateway to exploring the authentic, unforgettable soul of Tuscany. It offers the rare chance to enjoy a quiet, refined existence while being only moments away from one of the world’s greatest living historical centres.
