Sassaia

Accommodation for : 14 people

Sassaia is located in the Orcia valley, the nearest village are Pienza and Contignano. As you reach the house you will be enchanted by the large shady trees surrounding the farm. Loosely set, spreading oak trees, as well as almond, nut and plum trees filter the sun, creating an immensely pleasant mixture of light and shade.
On the ground floor what used to be the cows’ barn has been converted into a spacious summer living room divided by 2 columns and flooded with light by 7 large windows. The cows’ mangers have been converted into benches with cushions along three sides of the room, which otherwise has been kept purposely bare apart from a fireplace, a carpet and sofas to hang around in. A bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor was built to allow access to the disabled.

The kitchen/dining room next door has a typically Tuscan kitchen range and fireplace covered by local travertine, a stone pinkish-gold in colour. The fireplace has been built at a waist-high level - a local feature which makes cooking on the fire much easier. As you will see from the plan of the house, two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and two further bedrooms share a bathroom.
