Description
The property is on three levels above ground. The original entrance is on the first floor via the original stone staircase leading to a balcony with an open arch and overlooking the valley. There are two other entrances from the ground floor, one from the left side and one that leads to the kitchen through a small covered porch.

Condition and finishes
The property is in excellent condition, totally restored in the early 2000s with typical finishes and materials, combining a fine and characteristic appearance with modern living comforts. The property features exposed beams, brick arches, terracotta floors and cast-iron radiators. There are also two air conditioners on the floor of the bedrooms.
Potential for use
The property lends itself perfectly to be either a main residence or as a vacation home, possibly to be rented for short periods as this is a location where tourist rentals have excellent profitability.
Location & lifestyle
The property is located in the municipality of San Quirico d’Orcia, a town dating back to the year 700 AD, but already a place of Etruscan settlements before and Roman after, now famous as a cultural and enogastronomic center, but also for the thermal areas of Bagno Vignoni, one of the pivotal towns of the Val d’Orcia. Places of interest such as Pienza, Montepulciano and Montalcino are within 30 km. Siena and Florence, on the other hand, are 60 and 120 km away.
