Rifugio

An amazing country property set in the heart of the Val d'Orcia with a lovely courtyard with original bread and pizza oven and dining table. A pergola for "al fresco" drinks, another dining table near the heated swimming pool to have a light lunch under the shadow of a secolar oak. The heated Jacuzzy made of local travertine, where you can enjoy the most incredible sunsets, completes the outside picture.

The rooms have been cleverly designed to get the most out of the space keeping all the original features but with all the modern convenience. This property is one of the most sought after of the Val d'Orcia.
