Il Casale di Manuele lies in an enchanting hillside location, less than two kilometres from the centre of Montepulciano, one of the most enchanting Renaissance borghi south of Siena, between the flourishing Valdichiana and the unmistakable Val d'Orcia, an obligatory stop for every traveller in search of artistic masterpieces and internationally-famous food and wine excellences. The complex is made up of two exposed-stone buildings which have been transformed from simple agricultural outbuildings into refined country houses, thanks to the use of authentic materials of the local artisan tradition, to which have been added all mod cons to guarantee a relaxing stay with every comfort. Indoors, wide arches delimit the spacious living area, with a cosy sitting room with original fireplace next to a rustic kitchen with central island. All the rooms are air-conditioned and every bedroom has a private bathroom. Outdoors the magnificent view from the garden and panoramic swimming pool sweeps over the green valley covered with woods and over the villages of the Valdichiana up to Cortona. We are in an area that gathers the best of the excellences that distinguish the renowned southern province of Siena, where you are spoilt for choice among the wonders that can be easily reached and explored from this privileged position, the famous borghi of the surroundings, such as Pienza and Montalcino, and the art towns of Tuscany and neighbouring Umbria. Finally, not to be missed is a visit to the extraordinary spa resorts in the immediate vicinity (Montepulciano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Bagno Vignoni and Chianciano), to immerse yourself in the salubrious and regenerating waters dedicated to well-being.
