La Torre at Pretaccione, Castelnuovo Berardenga - Siena and Chianti

4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 6 to 8 guests In Resort with Pool

Podere Pretaccione, 1000 year old, was once the home of itinerant priests. Located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, Pretaccione provides a restful, rural setting just 20 minutes from historic Siena. The main building has been carefully restored into eight spacious apartments, each comfortably furnished in keeping with the terracotta floors, stone archways and beamed ceilings. A large swimming pool and tennis court with garden furniture are set on a lawned terrace just below the farmhouse. The ancient stone patios provide expansive views of the Arbie River as it winds through the valley toward Siena.

The houses all have private gardens with terraces furnished with tables and chairs for al fresco eating. The pretty village of San Sano, 4km away, boasts an excellent country style restaurant and a small grocery store with a bar.
Pretaccione is on the property of the Dievole Winery and spa, a short drive or a healthy walk up a country road. Visitors are always welcome for wine tastings and special dinners at the winery.

Located on the first floor and occupying the Tower on two further floors this large and spacious apartment is ideal for families. The large private garden is on two levels and has been attractively landscaped.

The lower terrace is furnished for outside dining and shade is provided by the large pergola. The property has views over the surrounding countryside which are particularly spectacular from the tower bedroom. The property itself has attractive Terracotta floors throughout and the typical high beamed ceilings of the area.

On entering the apartment there is a large spacious room with a fully equipped kitchen at the rear which also has a large dining table. The lounge area has a traditional wood burning fireplace and is equipped with a television and DVD player.

Off this room is an attractive double bedroom with views over the surrounding countryside.
From the lounge area the rest of the property is accessed via an internal lobby which houses the Library and also the main bathroom which has a full size bath with shower.

Also on this floor is a large twin bedroom ( can be converted to a large double bed also) which has ample space and attractive views over the garden. From here a staircase rises to the mezzanine level which has a shower room and the bunk bed area which can be screened off and is an ideal place for children as it is also furnished with a wardrobe and desk.

Continuing up the stairs rise to the top tower room which has a double bed. This room is truly special with fabulous views from it's two windows and a very private feel.

Torre is a well equipped and furnished villa

There are a couple of tennis racquets in the villa, however serious tennis players should bring their own. Please bring your own tennis balls.

La Torre is equipped with fly screens on the windows and therefore the owners have not placed fans in the house.

The fenced swimming pool is 14 meters x 5.5 meters and 1.30 - 2.30 meters deep. It is open from Easter to October. Lawned terraces offer plenty of open space around the pool area, there is a terracotta pool-surround terrace furnished with comfortable sunbeds, this area south facing and enjoys full sun.

Pretaccione has a full-size, concrete based tennis court that is situated in the gardens near the pool. The court is in an open position - perfect for working on your game whilest enjoying the views of the Siena hills, after you can take a dip in the pool and bask in the Tuscan sunshine on the furnished terrace.

As in the villa description - Approach road - 1km good unpaved road - 500 mtrs bumpy unpaved road not ideal for motorbikes. Some care is needed.

To Tuscany team comments for this review:03.08.2018

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear you struggled with the road. The slope up to the property had crumbled recently making it more difficult to pass. This has now been repaired and is much better. As in the villa description - Approach road - 1km good unpaved road - 500 mtrs bumpy unpaved road not ideal for motorbikes. Some care is needed.
