Ah, the allure of Tuscan countryside! For those seeking a peaceful retreat nestled amidst nature, this charming villa in Monticiano is an ideal pick. As a busy real estate agent who knows the ins and outs of this beautiful area, I can assure ya, this property is something special.
This villa is located on Via 2 Giugno, right in Monticiano, a quaint little town with loads of character. Perfectly blending the old with the new, the villa, originally built in 1964, was thoroughly renovated in 1999, making it a delightful mix of vintage charm and modern comfort. Situated on a sprawling estate of over two hectares, the property offers a lot more than just a home—it presents a lifestyle.
Now, when I say it's nestled in nature, I truly mean it. You have over one and a half hectares of lush parkland. These aren't just any gardens; they're designed in the classic Italian style, taking inspiration from the late baroque era. It’s almost like wandering through a scene from a historical drama!
