Treccianino 10, Sovicille - Siena

Treccianino is a fantastic, high quality Tuscan villa located 15km south of Siena. It is divided into two typical stone buildings and looks out over field covered plains of Val di Merse area, just a short distance from the town Sovicille.

The huge, fenced gardens are perfectly maintained by the owners who own a nursery in the area. In the spacious grounds there is a wonderful, crystal pool which looks out to the views. To one side is a pretty covered terrace with a sitting area.

Inside the large main house  is a spacious and bright entrance hall. To the right is a large, airy lounge with a marble paved floor and high Tuscan ceiling of terracotta tiles and wood. It is furnished with two big leather sofas, with an open fireplace to one side.

Two arches lead into the huge dining room. This bright room has a large wooden table in the middle which comfortably seats 12 people. The marble floors provide a lovely cool atmosphere to the room.

A short corridor leads off the dining room. Here there is a guest toilet. At the end is a big, spacious kitchen. The floor is tiled in marble which matches the marble table tops and sink. It is fully equipped and includes gas hobs, oven, dishwasher and a fridge with separate freezer compartment. To one side is a pantry with laundry facilities.

Off the kitchen is a second, smaller dining room. It has direct access to the kitchen via a terracotta arch. The room has good quality but minimal furnishings which emphasise the lovely exposed stone wall on one side and the marble floor. Plenty of light is provided by two glass walls. There is a small table which can seat 6 people and an antique side board. From here there is access to the outside dining area and gardens.

From the entrance hall white marble stairs lead up to the first floor. At the top of the stairs is the smallest of the bedrooms. This is a lovely cosy room with two iron single beds which cannot be made into a double, an antique wardrobe and matching bedside tables. One wall is of exposed stone while the floor is paved in wood.

A short hall has an elegant bathroom with a shower. From the hall there is also access to the gardens by external stone steps. Off to the left is a second twin bedroom which is furnished in a colourful theme of blue and yellow. The room is spacious with plenty of wardrobe space. En-suite is a bright bathroom with shower.

A double bedroom with wooden floor and a very high ceiling of terracotta is also off the hall. This is a large room which is simply furnished. This is a twin bedroom which can be made into a double if requested when booking. En-suite is a large, blue bathroom which has a Jacuzzi tub with over headshower.

The last bedroom on this floor is a huge double bedroom. It has a mix of antique and modern furniture. To one side is a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite is a large dark blue bathroom with big shower.

Attached to the main house is a first floor studio apartment. It is accessed from a little courtyard and up some stone steps. To one corner of the room is a double sofa. In the centre is a glass dining table with four chairs while a small kitchenette is along one wall. This is suitable only for preparing simple snacks and drinks.

The double bed is on the other side of the room. There are shelves as wardrobe space and a full length mirror. En-suite is a small bathroom with shower. The floor of the studio is paved in terracotta and there is a very high traditional Tuscan ceiling of terracotta tiles and wooden beams.

4 double bedrooms, 2 of which can be made into a twin but this must be requested when booking.
1 twin bedroom which cannot be made into a double.
5 bathrooms, 4 are en-suite.

There will be a caretaker present at times during the day to look after the pool and gardens.
Pets are welcome, but the owner requires that they do not enter inside the villa.

The pool is located behind the cottage. It has wide open views of the flat, field covered countryside that the property overlooks to one side. While the views to the back are of gentle forested hills. To one side of the pool is a large covered loggia which is furnished with a couple of armchairs and a sofa, it's the perfect place to relax away from the warm Tuscan sun.

The pool is surrounded by a large deck which is partly made of wood and partly paved in stone. To one side are several sun beds. A few steps away is a large barbeque and outside cooking area. Next to this is the laundry room.
The pool is 13x5.5 metres and 1.4-2.8 metres deep. It is open from May to October, weather permitting.
