Introduction:
Villa Montepulciano takes its name from the famous town of Etruscan origins that it overlooks, witness of the passage of famous artists like Luca Della Robbia and Duccio Da Buoninsegna, who made an important conquest of Florence during the XVI Century.
The origins of this wonderful property date back to the Etruscan period, when it said the subterranean passages, that now are part of the cellars, date to.
Set among the most beautiful towns of centre Italy: Montalcino, Pienza, Cortona, San Gimignano and Siena, the Villa lies on a fantastic position, although being close to all the amenities.
The Structure:
Villa Montepulciano is composed by a main body (The Villa) and three detached annexes which
make 1000 square metres in all.
The Villa:
Immersed in a wonderful Italian garden, which has been perfectly maintained by the current owners and where anyone can enjoy peaceful and relaxation by reading a book or simply admiring the wonderful panorama, the Villa is a rare beauty jewel which during the Renaissance has made rivals some of the most important families.
This is confirmed by the frescoes and armorial bearings depicted in the façade of the building.
The house is set on four levels.

The property is completed by 2 hectares of land with 450 olive trees and a small vineyard.
SURROUNDINGS:
Montepulciano: a Renaissance jewel whose imposing sixteenth-century palazzi that line the main street were designed by the most eminent architects of the time: Vignola, Michelozzo and Antonio da Sangallo. The numerous churches and the museum contain works of art by Della Robbia, Taddeo di Bartolo,
Vecchietta and Duccio da Buoninsegna. With its characteristic irregular shape, Piazza Grande, the town’s monumental centre, opens up on the top of the hill. The facades of the buildings in different styles prevent the architecture being monotonous and yet are at the same time harmonious. There are panoramas where you can gaze over the Val d’Orcia to Monte Amiata, Lake Trasimeno and the Valdichiana.
Pienza : built with marvellous stylistic harmony, it is a perfect
example of Renaissance urbanisation, born of pope Pius II’s desire to build an ideal town.
Montalcino : clinging to a hillside, it preserves the XIII century fortress and is famous the world round for its red Brunello wine.
Cortona : the Etruscans, Romans, Goths and Tuscan Grand Duchy left artistic and architectural testimony of their passage. The land of artists and religion, it lies on a hilltop surrounded by olive trees.
Siena
: extraordinary city of art where the past and present combine and blend together, where tourists forget the modern world to step back into the XIV and XV centuries.
Arezzo : the historical centre is on a hilltop in the heart of a fertile area rich in orchards, fields of cereals and vineyards. While strolling along its streets, tourists discover pleasant views over the town and the surrounding area.
Florence : prestigious city of art, the home to Dante and cradle of
the Italian language. Located on the River Arno, it is surrounded by marvellous hills illuminated by an amber and ethereal light that has inspired the greatest of artists.
Assisi : A great part of these places’ artistic charm derives from the spirituality linked to Saint Francis which permeates a city of art with its medieval appearance still intact. |
