The house faces one of the most enchanting and intense views of the entire Val d’Orcia. Located halfway up the hill of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, it favours a privileged position between the valleys of Amiata. At any time of the year, it is possible to admire the continual stream of clouds, rays of sun and the light mist, even from the early hours of the morning, and also take in the array of nature among the hills, mountains and rivers, which make this location unique.
Thanks to the careful recovery work by architect Lensi Orlandi Cardini, the country house has an exceptional number of windows of varying sizes. Through these windows you never lose contact with the splendour of the view that surrounds the home.
The house is laid out on two floors, connected by a noteworthy wrought iron and travertine staircase. On the first floor there is the living area and kitchen while on the second floor there is the sleeping area.
The distinct characteristics of Sienese houses with their stone walls, vault ceilings and terracotta floors were left untouched, but the house was enhanced with paintings, photographs, sculptures and various contemporary works of art whose owners are among the most important emergent Italian collectors. Inside the villa, many works of art, including Giacinto Cerone, Federico Pietrella, Basilè, Andrea Aquilanti, Cannavacciolo, can be found.

The environment is extremely subdued and the minimal furnishing lends itself to blending in with the allure of contemporary art.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, a large oven, a fridge and various other appliances.

The atmosphere of the living area (1 double-sofa bed here) is warmed by the stone fireplace and by the captivating notes of the piano.
In the more private area of the ground floor there is a study with 1 single bed, Internet access, a TV, a stereo and a table, dating back to the early 1900s, originating from a Florentine carpentry workshop. 1 double bedroom.
On the first floor, there are 3 double rooms and three baths, plus another bedroom with a French bed. Three of the four rooms especially accentuate the atmosphere of the sleeping area.
The two corner rooms have a private bathroom in travertine, one with a shower and the other with a bathtub.
Both have ample space to relax in and include wardrobes, which make the rooms similar to suites.
The third bedroom is distinguished by its big fireplace and has access to the outside garden via a stone staircase.
The home is equipped with an alarm system.
