Villa "Il Certosino"

A short distance from the historic centre of Siena, in a private and highly charming setting, lies Villa Il Certosino, a prestigious residence dating back to the 16th century. Originally, the property formed part of the Certosa di Maggiano and was known as “Il Certosino.” Following the Napoleonic reforms, which led to the suppression of monastic orders, the Certosa was converted into a main residence, while Il Certosino became a rural farmhouse, retaining its historic name. The property extends over approximately 380 sqm and is surrounded by one hectare of private land, enriched by around 60 olive trees and a beautiful private swimming pool that blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The villa is arranged over two main levels, in addition to a charming panoramic tower offering breathtaking views over the rolling Sienese hills. The interiors reflect the rich history of the residence, with exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, and impressive fireplaces, while the spacious and light-filled rooms create a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. On the ground floor, the living area is generous and welcoming, featuring an elegant sitting room overlooking the garden, a dining room, a kitchen with pantry and traditional fireplace, a second living room with a striking fireplace, and a guest bathroom. The first floor hosts the sleeping area, with three bedrooms enjoying pleasant countryside views, two large bathrooms, and a panoramic terrace, perfect for relaxing outdoors. The tower adds a unique and private space, ideal as a master suite with en-suite bathroom. The property is completed by a large swimming pool with paved sunbathing area, a changing room with shower, a masonry garage, and a cellar located on the lower ground floor. Villa Il Certosino is the ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle immersed in nature, without giving up the convenience of being just minutes from the historic centre of Siena.
