Siena House Torrita di Siena Map

Offering an enticing combination of past and present, Siena House is a stylish rural retreat occupying a finely restored 18th century hilltop villa, in the Tuscan countryside just outside the walls of Torrita di Siena. Immersed in the peace and quiet of the countryside of Valdichiana, Siena House is proof of how bold contemporary interiors can complement a centuries-old edifice, and vice-versa. Behind the building's attractive brick and stone façade, typical of the area's traditional vernacular architecture, Siena House's interiors are decorated with beautiful items of contemporary designer furniture.

In Siena House's four bedrooms the old wooden ceilings and floors in white travertine appear suddenly and surprisingly modern. Each and every detail reveals a passion for all things contemporary: from the paintings to the lighting and hi-tech accessories, from the sanitary ware by Philppe Starck to the bed linen and bathrobes by Frette.

During the long hot Tuscan summer, guests are likely to spend much of their time soaking up the sun by Siena House's brand new salt water swimming pool, surrounded by breathtaking views of the countryside of Valdichiana.

Example of the functional use of space, the open plan living room provides a spectacular, light-filled environment, where guests engage in pleasant conversation, or pass the time of day reading a good book or enjoying a glass of wine, surrounded by items of ethnic-inspired furniture and modern artworks. A wood and steel stair leads up to a mezzanine floor from where a stunning view of the surrounding countryside can be seen. Breakfasts prepared in the super sleek kitchen, can be eaten in the living room, on the mezzanine floor or, in the summer season, in the villa's splendid garden.

Three good reasons

1. The peaceful countryside just outside Torrita di Siena.
2. Contemporary interior design in an 18th century country residence.
3. The panoramic swimming pool overlooking the hills of Valdichiana.
