Description

In the heart of the enchanting hills of western Chianti, halfway between Volterra and Siena, lies CASA ELIO, a splendid and authentic 19th-century Tuscan home. Situated on the edge of a peaceful hilltop village, this historic residence offers an oasis of calm and serenity — perfect for those seeking a retreat immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the Tuscan countryside.

Occupying the first and top floor of an elegant period villa, with independent access from a shared courtyard, Casa Elio preserves the timeless charm of Tuscan tradition, enhanced by modern comforts and an abundance of natural light that makes it truly unique.

Lovingly maintained by its owners, the home has benefited from regular upkeep over the years: the roof has been recently renovated, the electrical system updated, and every room conveys a sense of order and warmth.
Its south-east orientation provides stunning panoramic views and a golden light that gently illuminates every corner.

Once belonging to a noble Piedmontese family, the villa still exudes an aristocratic atmosphere, reflected in its details and furnishings — fine pieces lovingly preserved, each telling a story of elegance and heritage.

With a total surface of about 90 sqm, Casa Elio features an entrance living room, a spacious kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Each space reflects harmony, functionality, and serenity.

Outside, a delightful Italian-style garden unfolds into terraces and olive trees, creating a microcosm of peace and beauty.
Completing the property are a south-facing lemon house, a large 15 sqm cellar, a garage portion, and a 50 sqm annex, ideal for those in need of extra space or wishing to create a personal studio. A private courtyard comfortably accommodates parking.

Equipped with methane gas heating, the home ensures comfort throughout all seasons.
