| Il Meleto is a stunning traditional, completely private, Tuscan farmhouse immersed in the exquisite countryside of the Senese hills and close to the Chianti region, Siena, Florence and Arezzo. Built of local stone more than 200 years ago, it has been meticulously and sensitively restored to meet modern living standards while retaining the rustic ambience of the past. It belonged at one stage to Lea Massari, film actress of the 60's. Original, exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, French windows and shutters are an integral part of the character of the farmhouse. Il Meleto is superbly and comfortably furnished throughout with a mix of antique and country style furniture. It is set in its own 5 hectares (12 acres) of lush gardens, olive and fruit groves, vineyards and woodlands perfect for long walks. There is a sparkling swimming pool (16mx8mx2.5m) and a sun terrace for the exclusive use and enjoyment of guests. Nearby is an outbuilding where the owner's son lives. The caretaker looks after the pool and the garden. Property Layout: Extensive and spacious accommodation is offered on two levels. On the ground floor there is a sparkling kitchen with absolutely up-to-the-minute cooking facilities and equipment (fan forced oven, dishwasher, freezer). A dining room with a rustic refectory table adjoins the kitchen. The spectacular large sitting/dining room has a massive traditional fireplace (wood supplied) and there are two smaller sitting rooms all of which offer comfortable leisure spaces for watching television, talking or playing games. A full bathroom/WC and efficient laundry (washing machine & drier) are also on this level for your convenience. Upstairs are four spacious, airy bedrooms ( three with large double beds and one with two singles) The beds are exceptionally comfortable and there are extra single beds available for children if required. Two full bathrooms are on this level each with bathtub, shower, bidet and WC. Free unlimited wi-fi broadband internet access. Access to the house along 900 m of dirt track road. |
