Casa Biondi

At 693 m2/ 7,461 sq. ft Casa Biondi has no lack of space. Outside are landscaped gardens and lawns, a heated outdoor pool in natural stone, a pergola-covered barbeque terrace and spectacular views. Inside are designer fabrics, wood and terracotta floors, fabulous high ceilings and wonderful features such as decadent walk-in wardrobes and well-appointed rooms with antique and handmade furniture. Just 2.5km away is the Borgo of Castiglion del Bosco with two fabulous restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre, children's club – Rose Buds – and an infinity swimming pool that overlooks Montalcino and the spectacular Val d'Orcia. The living room has a wonderful authentic Tuscan fireplace. There is a library area, perfect for disappearing into for a quiet break.

The gardens around the villa consist of extensive lawns with plenty of trees and attractive flower beds. The villa sits off the cypress-lined driveway to the Borgo by the sweep of the newly-built 18-hole golf course.

The views, in a word, spectacular – overlooking the estate and the Val d'Orcia. The property gets fantastic sunsets. Nearly three-quarters of the Estate is blanketed in forest – home to cinghiale, deer, fox, porcupines, badgers, hawks and pheasants. Each season a diverse selection of flora add visual drama and fragrance – Italian stone pine, chestnut, ancient oak, olive trees, stately Italian cypress and smaller species like bay laurel, thyme, rosemary, brilliant red poppies and acres of terraced grapevines.
