Bellosguardo
The main house, Bellosguardo, is basically a typical foursquare turreted country house dating back to the nineteenth century. It underwent a radical restyling in the 1960s at the hands of an eccentric actress, who turned it into an exclusive venue for parties and receptions. Furnished in eclectic style, collectors’ items of Italian design rub shoulders with antique furniture, large fireplaces and carved wood panelling. In the recently completed restoration, great care was taken to preserve the irresistible atmosphere of the “swinging sixties”. The spacious accommodation on the ground floor features an elegant living room, dining room, comfortable and well equipped kitchen and a cloakroom. Rooms open onto a vast terrace with a splendid panorama, partly covered in and equipped for barbecues. An elegant staircase leads up from the entrance to the first floor where there are two luxurious suites and a bathroom which is truly remarkable for size and décor.

I Buccheri
Close to hand there are the former outhouses, called i buccheri, which have been beautifully refurbished to provide accommodation.
A large patio gives access to the ground floor, with living quarters which are particularly attractive and comfortable and a fully equipped kitchen. All the rooms are constructed in the classic Tuscan style with tiled ceilings and wooden beams, and feature rustic furniture in the best local handicraft tradition. They also have heating and air conditioning.
To either side there are the bedrooms and bathrooms. An external staircase takes you up to the first floor, where there is a living-cum-dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A charming terrace equipped for barbecues is for guests’ exclusive use.

The park
All over the garden you find areas, both in the open and under cover, where you can relax and indulge in reading or meditation.
Altogether the estate has 26000 m² of land, about 9000 m² of which is taken up by the garden and terracing, with a wall enclosing the buildings. All the rest is cultivated land used to grow fodder for animals and extensive olive groves.
