Description:
RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Podere San Lorenzo is an old stone farmhouse on two floors that has been completely renovated while maintaining the architecture and warmth of typical Tuscan farmhouses. It is an ideal solution for guests who wish to share common areas inside the house where on the ground floor are two fully-equipped kitchens, a convivial dining room and a portico for outdoor dining, overlooking the pool. The house is located on a hill at 528 m above sea level, overlooking an enchanting landscape of hills, gullies, oak woods and expanses of cultivated fields. In this area that straddles the Orcia and Chiana valleys, within the Artistic, Natural and Cultural Park of the Val d'Orcia, and the extreme south of the province of Siena, the property enjoys a favourable position within walking distance (600 m) of the borgo of Celle sul Rigo and 5 km from the town of San Casciano dei Bagni where all shops and services are located. Within a few kilometres are the most interesting tourist destinations (Montalcino, San Quirico, Radicofani, Castiglione d'Orcia, Pienza, Monte Amiata), prestigious spas (San Casciano dei Bagni, Montepulciano, Bagno Vignoni, Chianciano Terme) and golf courses (Panicale and Bettolle), while very close to the house is a riding school with professional instructors, a tennis court and a football pitch (at the multifunctional field of Celle), for a holiday completely dedicated to well-being, sport and exploration of the artistic, gastronomic and environmental treasures of which this territory is so rich.
