In the splendid atmosphere of the Sienese countryside, just a few kilometres from the medieval borgo of Casole d’Elsa, stands this elegant residence overlooking a breathtaking landscape that spans the hills of Chianti and ends on the contours of the surrounding borghi, from San Gimignano to Monteriggioni. Villa Il Foramasso, which takes its name from a majestic bush that welcomes you at the entrance, is part of an imposing complex originally from 1900, which has been successively enlarged and completely renovated, while preserving the typical authenticity and charm of Tuscan country houses. The natural handmade terracotta, the chestnut beams and joists, the travertine marble, the precious wood of the doors and windows are the materials that give voice to the architecture of this prestigious property, furnished with antique and handcrafted furniture. The heart of the house is the spacious living area on the ground floor, which opens out to the garden through numerous French windows, composed of a large living room with dining room, TV room, fitness and recreational area and, finally, a large super-equipped kitchen completed by a wood oven and two barbecue-fireplaces. The panoramic bedrooms with air conditioning and their own private bathroom, with sauna and Turkish bath, enhance the comforts of the house which, surrounded by a lush garden with a large swimming pool, terraces and areas set up for relaxing outdoors, are guaranteed by the secluded and peaceful position of the property, yet within easy reach of some of the most beautiful and interesting Tuscan destinations, such as San Gimignano, Volterra, Chianti, Siena and Florence.
