Rocchetto Basso
Rocchetto Basso is a lovingly restored 18th-century Tuscan farmhouse that perfectly balances historic charm with modern comfort. This elegant stone-built villa features four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, spread across two floors.
The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious, light-filled living room where ancient wooden beams crown high ceilings. The interior decoration strikes a delightful balance between traditional and contemporary, featuring brightly coloured sofas alongside carefully selected local antiques. Two double bedrooms on this level open directly onto the garden through French doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Ascending the stairs, you’ll discover one of the villa’s most enchanting features: a traditional loggia offering breathtaking views across the valley to the town of Sinalunga. The upper floor houses the master bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a second living room in the original farm kitchen.
The grounds are equally captivating, with a swimming pool nestled on a lower terrace, accessed by a gentle slope and complemented by an outdoor shower. A terrace in front of the kitchen is equipped for outdoor meals. Guests can choose between an authentic stone-built pizza oven or a modern barbecue.
The villa’s location offers perfect seclusion while remaining wonderfully accessible. Situated on a quiet country lane, it’s just 2.9 kilometers from the charming village of Lucignano, the quintessence of a Tuscan hilltop town. Here you’ll find all essential amenities including cafés, family-run trattorias, a small supermarket, gelaterias, and practical services such as a bank, post office, and drugstore. The village can be reached by a pleasant 45-minute walk, and in 6 minutes by car.
Lucignano sits between Siena and Arezzo, with Florence just over an hour away. The Chianti and Val d’Orcia regions make ideal day trips.
The property stands as a testament to the owner’s commitment to excellence, with every restoration detail executed using the finest materials and craftsmanship by the region’s most skilled artisans.
NB: The photographs of the villa were taken in October 2024. The garden was being laid out and could not be pictured. We will have new pictures in May 2025. The images of the villa with the pool are renderings (images produced by the architect).
