Villa Banditello, secluded, panoramic view over Montepulciano valley.

Villa BANDITELLO, 130m2, accommodates 6 guests. The original building, dating back to the early 20th century, was restored in 1999 according to the Tuscan tradition and outfitted with furnishings from the owner's family.
The ground floor features three entrances, with French windows to the yard. It has a bright and well-equipped kitchen (gas stove with oven, fridge, fireplace for barbecuing), and walk-in pantry. The kitchen leads to a double living room with a Tuscan fireplace at one end, furnished with antique furniture and several sofas and armchairs. A half bathroom is off the living room.
Stone steps lead to the upper floor, which features a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom (with bathtub) and a splendid view over Montepulciano valley. Off the corridor, there are two twin bedrooms and a separate bathroom (with shower). Wrought iron beds, rustic furniture, small wooden bathroom mirrors, doors, and built-in wardrobes have been handpicked according to the Tuscan tradition. The house is airy and bright all day long. The panoramic yard has a large iron table and chairs, and chaise lounges.
The house fully accommodates a maximum of six people. There is wood available for the barbecues, public drinking water, instant hot water, dishwasher, and central heating. Baby cots and high chairs are available. High speed Wi-Fi. Mosquito nets for all windows.
** THE PROPERTY **
Villa BANDITELLO is one of two stone houses on the Capanne di Sopra estate. While the two houses are close, their positioning allows for a totally autonomous stay.
The site is located 1.3 km from Montefollonico and 7 km from Montepulciano, in a secluded and panoramic location, with a wide view of the Montepulciano valley, the temple of San Biagio, the summit of Monte Amiata and the hills of the Val d'Orcia.
To preserve the rural character of the estate, we have chosen not to have a swimming pool.
In the property there are 4 cats, with adequate shelter, well cared for and under veterinary supervision.
The property is accessible only through a private dirt road (about 400 meters from the provincial road) in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, with olive groves, vineyards and woods. There is a reserved parking area.
Guest access
The parking area is at the entrance of the property. Guests have access to the entire house and surrounding yard.
