On the outskirts of the city overlooking the rolling hills of the Sienese countryside, surrounded by 88 acres of private land with a park, centuries-old woods, an olive grove and 9 acres of Merlot vineyard, Villa Casin de' Nobili is a charming residence built in the 1600s as the hunting lodge of a noble Sienese family. Off the main road a driveway bordered with cypress trees leads to the main entrance on the south side with a large courtyard and a “belvedere”. Villa Casin de' Nobili is grand and stately with its four above-ground floors and a stone structure and the traditional terracotta roofing. The foyer on the ground floor is an elegant hall with a colonnade and a majestic stone and wrought-iron staircase that spans the central body up to the upper floors and lit by a large skylight. The main noble ground floor boasts four representative reception halls with direct access to the garden and ceilings with early 20th-century decorative elements. On the back, a long corridor connects to the old-style kitchen with a fireplace and to the basement cellar: a spectacular underground passageway with vaults and stone walls. Above the ground floor, a mezzanine floor presents six bedrooms, a study, closets and bathrooms, in need of upgrading and restyling. On the second floor, with beautiful natural light in every room, a spacious apartment with access to the back garden has been refurbished with four bedrooms and three living rooms, all with magnificent views of the surroundings and the city of Siena. The attic floor, features excellent heights and wood-beamed ceilings, a characteristic surface with strong conversion potential. The guardian's house, with an attached greenhouse, and the inner courtyard, have a magnificent view over the Tuscan hills and gorgeous sunsets.
