San Giovanni d'Asso
A villa amid its own six hectare vineyard and winery, recorded in the Grand Duchy's land registers in the early 1600s.
The villa
A country house on a hill above the Asso valley, amid the pale, lunar hills of the Crete Senesi. Rebuilt largely with its original materials and old reclaimed stone, it is furnished with pieces gathered from far corners of the world.
Inside
Ground floor: a summer living room with fireplace, a kitchen and dining room with a second fireplace, a large study, a guest bathroom and an en suite double. Upstairs, a winter lounge with kitchenette and four more bedrooms, each with a bathroom: one with a wood burning stove, one with its own sitting room and kitchenette, one reached independently from the garden.
Outside
A 4 x 20 m infinity pool with a sun terrace and a pergola with a dining table. An old brick courtyard hung with vines, a second dining table across the garden, an outdoor oven and a barbecue.
