Villa in San Giovanni d'Asso, Nr. Siena, Tuscany - Peaceful Location, Unique Landscape, Village 1km
The house is set in the famous Crete Senesi, perhaps the most spectacular example of the essence of Tuscany. On 2 floors, built of warm Sienese stone and brick, encircled by wide terracotta terraces, ancient mulberry trees and huge old cypresses, olive groves, lawns and gardens of aromatic shrubs and fragrant herbs, the cook's delight. Furnished with antique country furniture, books, art and textiles, Turkish rugs, comfortable sofas, good quality bedding, efficient plumbing and lighting, and is generally light, airy and stylish. All rooms with beautiful view. Persian blinds, mosquito screens, ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Shady entrance loggia, pergola covered by jasmine and roses for eating out at a travertine marble table, with barbecue. Plentiful garden furniture and hammocks are provided. A path through the gardens brings you to the swimming pool (ozone treated, virtually chemical free), surrounded by terracotta sun terraces, immersed in decorative shrubs, roses and lavender.
About Hardress Waller
Hardress is an anglo-irish painter who first came to Tuscany 45 years ago from London, and travelled in the whole of Italy studying art history. Since then he has lived in Spain and Uk,returning to Italy first of all near Lucca for 12 years, then moving south of Siena.
I love music, literature,cinema, art, our friends, life, food, wine, and italian culture.
Why Hardress Waller chose San Giovanni d'Asso
I didn't really buy this as a vacation rental house,but lived in it for a period as my own home before beginning to rent it out. I think this is why guests coming to the house, many of whom return year by year, find a hospitable atmosphere and feel at home.
I always had very old friends living near here, and used to enjoy visiting because of the pleasant company and interesting community of people, considering it almost the most beautiful part of Tuscany.
What makes this villa unique
Our home is in a unique unspoilt natural setting, but close to the village and all amenities, as well as the delights which this special part of Tuscany offers,not far away from Montalcino, Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia, Siena and Florence.
There are also many local attractions, village medieval festivals,cultural events, beautiful local museums and notable culinary specialties, above all the white truffle, pecorino sheep cheese and famous wines. We have personal contacts with excellent restaurants and wineries where with pleasure we can introduce our guests.
