For easy access to Siena and Florence within an hour's drive, Villa Spinelli is the place to be. As a bonus, many alluring hill towns are easily reached: Montepulciano with its tantalizing red wines is within a 15 minute; Cortona, Tuscany's highest hill town is 30 minutes away; magical Orvieto or the tranquility of St. Francis's Assisi are both just about an hour's drive. As a double bonus, mighty Rome is two hours away.
Located a few miles from the juncture of the A1 highway heading north to south and the Siena-Perugia roadway running east to west, this is a fantastic base for guests on the move. The villa is easily reached by turning off of a paved secondary road and continuing on for one third of a mile passing by office complexes.
Conveniently enough, there is a restaurant at the turning point that's within walking distance of the villa.
The villa's gated entrance opens to the well-manicured and level grounds bordering the villa.
Large furnished patios are at the front and rear entrances. However, the preferred setting for al fresco dining is a covered portico that houses the wood fired barbecue and a pizza oven, just a few feet from the villa. From here, the vista overlooks the pool on a level below and spans across neighboring vineyards to the hill town of Sinalunga and beyond to the Chiana valley.
Turning to the details of the villa, it was built in the 1600s in the Leopoldina style with spacious rooms framed by large brick arches, thick stone walls and an impressive vaulted, brick ceiling on the ground floor. Over 2020 the villa interiors were restyled with many new bathrooms and furniture to offer a higher grade of living.
Comfortable and relaxed furnishings are placed throughout this welcoming Tuscan home along with a few antique accent pieces. A double-sided brick fireplace separates the living and dining rooms on the entry level.
Air conditioning is present in all the bedrooms and in the billiard room on the lower level. Windows are screened
The kiithcen is on the ground floor and offers easy access to the three furnished patios.
