Panoramic villa with castle views, Sarteano, Siena – Tuscany
An elegant residence with fine views, a private garden and terraces, just a stone's throw from local amenities and the Val d'Orcia, for sale in the heart of Sarteano. In the charming village of Sarteano, a gateway between the Val d'Orcia and the Valdichiana, stands this elegant 339 sqm villa, a detached residence combining the convenience of the town centre with remarkable privacy. Standing free on all four sides and surrounded by a 494 sqm private garden, the property is notable for its eclectic architecture and its magnificent panoramic roof terrace, which offers a spectacular view over the town's medieval fortress and the Tuscan hills. The villa is in excellent condition and is arranged over four internal levels, connected by a striking staircase with a wrought-iron banister. On the ground floor, beyond the entrance protected by a stone and iron gate, lies an inviting living area with terracotta flooring, a farmhouse-style kitchen with direct access to the garden, a guest bedroom or study, a full bathroom and a separate guest WC. On the first floor, characterised by high ceilings with exposed wooden beams and terracotta tile infill, there is a grand reception room, a dining room enhanced by a hand-decorated brick fireplace, a second fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and an elegant master bathroom fitted with a corner whirlpool bath. Going up to the second floor (classified for cadastral purposes as an attic and laundry room), the attic spaces have been finely finished and converted into an elegant study/library, two cosy bedrooms (one of which is a single room/dressing room), a third bathroom with a corner shower, and a handy laundry room/art studio. Finally, the third floor houses the top-of-stairs landing, which leads directly out onto the external terraces and the large panoramic rooftop sun terrace. Outside, the well-kept garden features ornamental plants, a charming artificial stone pond with a fountain, and a convenient 22 sqm garage with an attached carport. This residence represents a unique opportunity, both as a private home and as a holiday house, in one of Italy's most sought-after and historically rich areas.
