Description
Colour-washed in a sunshine shade of ochre, and furnished with effortless elegance and oodles of charm, this delightful house is designed throughout in traditional Tuscan country style, from raffia-seated dining chairs and vibrant bedroom kilims, to its two sitting rooms, one cool and smart in creamy white, with a bespoke travertine fireplace; the other cheerfully informal with big, bright cushions by a rustic inglenook fire. Accessed by a specially created spiral staircase, the upper floor of the villa is home to three bedrooms, the fourth enjoying extra privacy in a separate garden annexe. Scented with roses, softly encircled with trees and shrubs, and looking out to lovely views of the Val d’Orcia’s rolling hills, the gardens of Casa Del Rondone are an irresistible draw to al fresco living. A dining pergola adjoins the house, tucked between tall cypress trees, and a private pool is sunk into a huge expanse of lawn, with a leafy poolside pergola shading a well-placed hammock. Facilities within the estate include a restaurant and tennis court, and La Foce is a centre for cultural activities during the annual ‘Incontri in Terra di Siena’ international festival.
