which it stands, surrounded on every side by scenery of rare beauty made up
of hills, gullies, oak woods, expanses of cultivated fields that stretch to
the horizon and green hills topped by old picturesque villages. The
property stands, secluded and silent but not isolated, in an enchanting
position in this lovely strip of land, straddling the valleys of the Orcia
and the Chiana, within the Val d'Orcia Artistic and Cultural Park and in
the southernmost part of the province of Siena, not far from the borgo of
Celle sul Rigo and from the prestigious little town of San Casciano dei
Bagni. The complex, consisting of a main house and two former barns that
have been completely renovated, maintaining the architecture, charm and
warmth of the typical Tuscan farmhouses, is the ideal solution for guests
wishing to share the common areas inside the main house, where the ground
floor is composed of a large living space with seating areas, a large
country kitchen and a long table for everyone to eat together, but, at the
same time, to have their own private space thanks to further kitchens and
living rooms present on the first floor and in the annexes. Outside in the
vast park surrounding the buildings, a succession of lawn areas dotted with
bushes of Mediterranean herbs and broom, outdoor living areas and a large
pool will be the best places from where you can admire picture postcard
sunsets and enjoy the quiet country atmosphere. Within a few kilometres are
interesting tourist destinations (Montalcino, San Quirico, Radicofani,
Castiglione d'Orcia, Pienza, Monte Amiata), prestigious spa resorts (San
Casciano dei Bagni, 7 km away, Montepulciano, Bagno Vignoni, Chianciano
Terme), a tennis court (at the multifunctional field in Celle), golf clubs
(at Panicale and Bettolle) and a riding club with professional instructors
close to the property, for a holiday dedicated to wellness and sport and to
discovering the artistic, culinary and environmental treasures which abound
in the area. The Emma Villas' Concierge Team can be reached for any
emergencies, or further information you may require during your stay. All
useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents
Interior: The property is formed of a main building and two annexes, each
with independent entrance and just a few metres from each other. MAIN
HOUSE. It consists of two floors connected only externally by stairs on one
side of the building. The ground floor entrance leads into a kitchen with
pantry and from here up two steps to the living area, a large open-plan
space connected by arched openings and composed of a sitting room with
sofas, satellite TV and fireplace, dining room and reading room, all
perfectly connected to the garden thanks to numerous French windows. The
ground floor is completed by the laundry room, two bathrooms (one for the
disabled) and a bathroom with shower with direct outside access (convenient
for those using the pool as it is situated right in front of the pool
area). On the top floor is a living room, kitchen, two double bedrooms (one
with extra single bed) and a twin bedroom (with joinable beds) served by a
bathroom with hydromassage tub and by a bathroom with hydromassage shower.
ANNEX 1. On one floor, it is composed of a living room, a kitchen, a double
bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower and a twin bedroom (with joinable
beds) served by a bathroom with hydromassage shower. ANNEX 2. Next to the
first annex, it has a living room, kitchen, double bedroom (with joinable
beds) served by a bathroom with hydromassage shower and a double bedroom
with ensuite bathroom with shower (suitable for the disabled). In each
living room is a fireplace while each kitchen is equipped with electric
oven, cooktop, dishwasher and fridge. Air conditioning in all bedrooms.
Park: After the entrance gate to the property, a small driveway flanked by
cypresses leads to the large parking area and to the splendid fenced-in
park of about one hectare which stretches naturally to the surrounding
valleys, covered by culivated fields, expanses of olive trees and vineyards
in the large farm estate ofwhich the farmhouse is part; from the house a
pretty stretch of unpaved road winds for about 3 km towards Celle. The
hilly morphology of the territory levels out in the garden around the
buildings, consisting of large areas of lawn delimited by cypresses, olive
trees, strawberry trees, oleanders, rose bushes and rosemary and coloured
by the yellow of the inevitable broom, typical plant of this area. Close to
the main house is a stone barbecue and then a large gazebo with table and
chairs, perfect for dining and relaxing in the cool air. Also close to the
annexes are pergolas equipped for convivial moments and also, in the case
of a large number of people, for guaranteeing private relaxing moments.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming,
and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of
your arrival at the villa. Swimming Pool: The large fenced pool of Podere
Collelungo is set in an area of the garden facing out over a hilly
panoramic landscape and is quickly reached from both the annexes and the
main house (which is about 30 m away) up a short path in natural stone. The
rectangular pool measures 7 x 14 m with the depth ranging from 1.20 to 1.80
m and is lined in sand-coloured PVC with a travertine border. The pool has
chlorine purification and internal steps for access to the water. All
around it is the large sunbathing area in porphyry stone that extends to
the soft lawn equipped with comfortable sunbeds and two shady gazebos;
there is an outdoor cold-water shower and external lighting. The pool is
open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
