Description

Beautifully restored in best Tuscan taste, generous flexible space & exclusive courtyard for meals stargazing and meditation.
The apartment forms the lower half of a medieval Palazzo in the heart of San Quirico d'Orcia. Accommodation comprises large eat in kitchen/dining room, sitting room,bedroom and bathroom on the raised ground floor. On the lower floor you will find a charecterful room, with partially exposed stone work to the walls ideal as a study/second sitting room/occasional bedroom. Beneath this stone stairs lead down to a highly atmospheric, dry, cantina hewn out of the bedrock of San Quirico. It may not be fanciful to wonder about Etruscan origins here. Around the courtyard is a self contained studio/bedroom with its own en suite bathroom, perfect for painting, writing or repose.
Outside space is not easy to find in a town centre property but this apartment has exclusive access to a 50 sq.m. courtyard ideal for outdoor living and cooking.In addition to this unusual feature the property also benefits from a second entrance offering the buyer easy vehicular access/offloading at their historic centre home.There is the possibility of garaging a small vehicle in the covered entrance, without detracting from the courtyard.Rare!
The property has been newly renovated by a small specialist restoration company who concentrate on keeping Tuscan authenticity whilst providing 21st century comforts. All materials are carefully chosed to be in keeping with the age and quality of the building. Natural and usually handmade materials abound: stone, heavy chestnut wood, lime, handmade local terracotta, travertine, wrought iron etc.
