Country house, excellent condition, 150 m², San Quirico d'Orcia

The cottage, recently renovated, is located in the countryside surrounding San Quirico D'Orcia, in an optimal position that allows you to combine the country life with the convenience of the nearby town, where you can find the shops and services that this offers. Also inside, a perfect combination of the characteristics of a country house has been found, made with typical Tuscan materials such as beams, terracotta, bricks with other spaces and materials that are suitable for a beautiful contemporary villa. About ten years ago it was the subject of a total, structural, plant engineering and aesthetic intervention. Today it is a sober and elegant home, but also young and familiar where you can savor the warmth and comfort of everyday life. The dominant color is white, matched, with bold colors that, as in the case of one of the bedrooms, has a wall painted with a "sponged" technique on the blue, which gives a relaxing and decisive touch. The floor of the living area is in Tuscan terracotta; the staircase leading to the upper floor is made of wood as well as the parquet floor of the sleeping area, which continues with continuity even in the bathrooms. The many windows, in typical Tuscan style, so the doors, have been made with extreme care even in the handles and locks faithfully reproduced by a blacksmith. The ground floor, where there is access to the house, houses a spacious living room, a kitchen, furnished in masonry with wood finishes, which opens onto the dining area. Also on this floor a study that, through the French window, connects directly to the outside, thus offering a second possibility of access to the house. The night floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom. Throughout the house, the atmosphere is cozy and warm and beauty is given by simplicity. Outside there is a portico, an ancient oven and a dining area to fully enjoy the benefits of a convivial life in the open air. On one side of the house you can enjoy the view of a beautiful profile of San Quirico D'Orcia on which stands the bell tower of the collegiate church of Saints Quirico and Giulitta. Position: about 1 Km from San Quirico D'Orcia, surrounded by the Val d'Orcia countryside, within the areas registered by UNESCO as World Heritage List.
