Description

Villa Boscarello is a delightful property located in the heart of the Crete Senesi, the south area of Siena. This area is characterized by its rich clay earth, the famous terra di Siena, and its almost other-worldly landscapes. The charming village of Trequanda lies just 4 kms away and Siena itself is just a short drive away. The original structure is a typical rustic style house dating back to the 17th century, with terra cotta floors, exposed clay brick walls, wooden beams and original frescoes. The present owner is a descendant of the famous Socini and Ricci families, who were bankers, notaries and theologians in Siena since the 14th century. Together with his lovely wife, he undertook between 1995 and 2000 a massive restoration of the property, that is part of an extensive estate producing organic extra virgin oil and wine, one of the best and most appreciated in the world. A picturesque avenue of cypresses leads to a beautiful forecourt in Siena brick. The house is furnished with antique family furniture and fine design details.
