From the main road an unpaved private road of about 800 meters (NOT suitable for low bottom cars) leads to the villa, therefore it is very private and quiet.  It faces one of the most enchanting and expansive views of the entire Val d’Orcia. Located halfway up the hill of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, it benefits from a privileged position between the valleys of Amiata.  The panoramic swimming pool directly faces the enchanting view of the Val d’Orcia and the vineyards.  The wine cellar is located 500 meters from the villa and it features the best systems for the biodynamic production of Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.

This beautiful house is located 10 km from Montalcino, where you can find groceries shops, pharmacy, post office, banks, wine shops and many delicious restaurants.  In Castelnuovo dell’Abate – at 2 km - you will find a restaurant.

Amiata has a private unfenced garden.  On the front side of the house is a private outdoor parking area, and in back there is a beautiful garden with a lovely view of the valley, a furnished gazebo for al fresco dining and a barbecue. 

A new infinity swimming pool (15m x 4m) and a bocce court were recently added. Pool towels are included.  

2023 pool dates are May to September.
