Restored stone country house in Radicofani, Siena
Elegantly restored 17th-century country house with park and spectacular view in Radicofani, Siena - Tuscany. In the territory of Radicofani, on a hill 600 m above sea level, along the ancient Via Cassia, now Via Francigena, which follows a ridge overlooking the gullies of the Val d'Orcia, lies this splendid 17th-century country house, perfectly restored to become a private residence and a B&B. The original structure has a regular square plan, with a lateral extension added later to house stables and warehouses. Over the centuries, the farmhouse has had various uses: from post station on the Via Francigena to welcome pilgrims from Northern Europe on their way to Rome, to a rural home, until returning today to hospitality. The restoration was carried out with great attention to historical conformity and using authentic materials to preserve the characteristic appearance of the Tuscan farmhouses. The building is made of basalt stone masonry and old hand-made bricks, with an insulated roof covered with old traditional tiles. The floors are made with original chestnut beams and stringers with old mezzanines. Inside, large transparent glass windows partly form the floor of some rooms, allowing you to admire their magnificent original stone flooring; for the rest, local travertine was used. The building, on two floors, houses 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, 2 of which were created in the old stables, all with en suite bathrooms; a sauna room, a lounge with a relaxation area and dining area, and a large room used as laundry. On the first floor is the master apartment with access from the typical external staircase with loggia and internally with a spiral staircase that connects the two floors. The apartment comprises a large typical Tuscan kitchen, living room with fireplace, bedroom, study, a bathroom, and closet. The entire property and the garage are equipped with an anti-theft system and a video surveillance system. The property extends over approximately 2 hectares of land, where about 250 tall trees grow, which offers shade and allows you to spend pleasant moments in the cool; from the panoramic terrace and the pine forest, you can enjoy a breathtaking 360°-view of Radicofani, Monte Amiata, Monte Cetona and the Val di Paglia, up to Lazio and Umbria. This farmhouse represents an excellent solution as a home and as an investment for hospitality activities, located in an area, the Val d'Orcia, renowned for its high quality of life, far from the stress of the cities, and characterized by towns where community life and social relationships are still authentic and real.
