Serenzia
Europe / Italy / Tuscany
The Val d'Orcia, an UNESCO World Heritage site in southern Tuscany, is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, vineyards, and charming towns like Pienza and Montalcino.
Overview
It’s a favored tourist spot, particularly for those seeking a tranquil Italian countryside escape. Cetona, one of the Valley’s quaint towns, boasts medieval architecture, allowing visitors to immerse in the region’s rich culture. Serenzia, an ideal rental for large families or groups, is a traditional Tuscan farmhouse featuring rustic architecture and interiors. The house is divided into four separate units, under the same roof, ensuring ample privacy and personal space for larger groups. Serenzia can accommodate up to 20 guests across 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, offering a chance to relish Tuscany’s countryside beauty with modern amenities and comforts.
LIVING SPACES
The entire property exudes the captivating allure of classic Tuscan countryside aesthetics, characterized by color-washed walls adorned in rich, traditional shades. It boasts harmoniously coordinated fabrics, a curated collection of meticulously restored antiques, and tasteful replicas. Each suite is thoughtfully designed, featuring a private sitting/dining room adorned with a fireplace and a compact and yet fully equipped kitchen. A rustic stone barn serves as the central gathering area for guests to convene and dine. Discerning guests will admire the rustic yet elegant details, including cotto floors, wooden beamed ceilings, grés tiled walls, vintage-inspired solid wood and porcelain vanity units, and the delicate allure of wrought iron, glass, or terracotta lamps, all contributing to the farmhouse’s irresistible charm.
OUTSIDE FEATURES
Serenzia boasts an ample private pool complete with a convenient side ladder. The sun terrace, adorned with terracotta tiles, is enveloped by lush lawn spaces. From this vantage point, you can behold the picturesque vistas of sprawling vineyards and the iconic rolling hills adorned with olive and cypress trees. Thoughtfully arranged outdoor furnishings are strategically placed throughout the property, providing secluded corners of tranquility for solitary moments or convivial gatherings. A furnished loggia/veranda, furnished with sofas and chairs, invites relaxation, while meticulously maintained gardens encircle the house, graced by fragrant Mediterranean shrubs and blooming roses.
Serenzia’s unpretentious design and expansive outdoor spaces are highly valued by large families with children or sizable groups seeking some privacy while traveling together. The delightful village of Cetona, characterized by its winding streets and historic center, offers a full range of amenities, including shops and restaurants.
