Il Sensale can be described as nothing less than majestic! This imperial home nonetheless retains an original farmhouse feel. It is set within a beautiful location and offers a stylish idyll overlooking rolling acres of Renaissance landscapes.
This elegant, independent home imbibes all the natural beauty of the region, along with its original rustic charm: farmhouse-style terracotta sloping tiled roofs, arches, pale olive-coloured shutters, swaying poplar trees, and views across olive groves and vineyards make this home every inch the tranquil yet tasteful haven it is.
The outdoor spaces are sumptuous. They include immaculate lawns and gardens, ideal for games and fun, and wonderful poolside privacy through a patio and lounging space.
Recently restored, Villa Il Sensale combines the rustic farmhouse theme with unadulterated luxury. The main villa and guesthouse have six bedrooms, accommodating up to twelve guests. This home is ideal for those seeking a real retreat from the bustle of the crowds and stresses of the modern world—the entire lower ground floor is set up as a self-contained spa!
Dining al fresco is a stylish affair, with the beautiful veranda soaking up the fragrant breezes, whether it be breakfast after a swim in the dappled shade or an evening meal with abundant local wines and Tuscan produce as the sun softens over the hills.
The interiors combine original, rustic farmhouse charm with sleek, contemporary fittings. Every detail has been thoughtfully covered for a truly glamorous stay: from billiards room to bar, from private television lounge to games room - guests will find it hard to venture out.
The living space is well proportioned, offering exposed timber beams, beautiful antique furnishings and lighting, along with luminous views of the surrounding countryside. The living room is comfortable yet cosy, while the dining space offers a stunning, light, monochrome room ideal for colourful and vibrant group meals.
