An attractive old farmhouse transformed into a welcoming holiday home through very recent and painstaking reconstruction work which has kept the original characteristics of the building. Situated at the meeting place of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio, the three most beautiful regions in Italy, the house is on the slopes of Monte Cetona.
The surrounding landscape where the sand and clay has been eroded appears almost lunar. A few kilometres from the house is San Casciano dei Bagni, famous in Roman times for its health- giving thermal waters. There are spacious grounds around the house and the oak and holm-oak woods guarantee its privacy. The swimming pool is in a lovely sunny position just a few metres from the building.
The interior decoration and fittings are of a good standard. Spacious portico with table and chairs.
The farmhouse is reached by a country road of 1,7 Km.

Territory
Siena
The city was probably been settled in the time of Etruscans. However, the first document dealing with Siena is from 70 a.D. It's been written by Tacito. In that document, the city was called Sena Julia. We don't know much about the history of the city till the beginning of the new millennium: about the previous centuries, we know only that there were a big argue between the Bishop of Siena and the Bishop of Arezzo, dealing with the territorial border. The argue was solved first in favour of the Bishop of Arezzo, but then, when Siena went under the power of Francs (853 a.D.), the territory were given to the Bishop of Siena. However the city, that was first governed by Bishops then by counts, gets a certain importance.
In 1147 Siena became a self-governing commune. Because of the increasing of the Senese territory, done by the submission of the counts of the surrounding territory to Siena, the confrontation with Florence became inevitable. The war ended only in 1555: Siena was defeated and it was annexed to the Great duchy of Tuscany. It entered in the Italian Kingdom in 1861.
