Le Grazie has the typical characteristics of a Tuscan farmhouse in stone and brick which the restoration works have respected and enhanced. In the living area, with the large barrel vaults in stone, the terracotta floor, the fireplace and the chestnut-wood ceiling beams, the characteristic welcoming warmth of these buildings has been restored; the dining room with rib vaults in brick invites you to convivial meals in a traditional setting. The first floor, with wooden floors and chestnut-beamed ceilings, preserves the intimacy of the sleeping area. The turret, probably from the late medieval period, rises up over the surrounding hills that offer those feelings of peace and tranquillity sought by the guests who frequent these stupendous places in Tuscany, famous throughout the world. Le Grazie occupies a truly enviable position, unique and perfect for those who love the countryside and privacy yet, at the same time, appreciate the convenience of being near a town equipped with all shops and services. Le Grazie is located close to Montepulciano which preserves the beauty of the past; in this splendid town, not surprisingly called the Pearl of the 16th century, you can admire beautiful palaces and churches bearing the signature of the greatest architects of the Renaissance. Definitely not to be missed is the wonderful Piazza Grande, surrounded by Renaissance palaces, with the Palazzo Comunale and the Duomo with its incomplete façade. Descending further, immediately below the town, the elegant grandeur of the Temple of San Biagio stands out, a "Greek-cross" church by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder. Montepulciano is also known in Italy and around the world for the importance of its production of excellent wines, wines with a great historical tradition which the illustrious 17th century physician, naturalist and poet, Francesco Redi, in his dithyrambic poem "Bacchus in Tuscany", had no doubts in affirming: "Montepulciano of every wine is King". Currently the best known and most esteemed is the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a high quality red wine, perennially classified among the best Italian wines and which boasts the DOCG label (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita = Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin).

Interior:
The house (200 sqm) has three floors connected internally by a terracotta staircase. The main entrance opens into the sitting room with fireplace and into the fully-equipped kitchen, served by a pantry and a bathroom with shower; next to the sitting room is the dining room with exit out to the garden. The first floor opens onto a hallway with a bathroom with shower and two double bedrooms; from the hallway a few terracotta steps lead up to a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower. The second floor consists of the turret with double bedroom and ensuite bathroom with shower. All the bedrooms have air conditioning with independent control units.

Park:
The property extends over roughly 1 hectare of land that is partially enclosed with wire mesh fencing and hedge. The part around the house and the swimming pool (800 sq m) is covered by lawn with an olive tree and a holm oak providing pleasant natural shade on summer days, and with a solitary cypress over the pool that designs the panorama to the west; there is also oleander, helichrysum, rosemary and laurel, and a hedge of shiny viburnum that does not shield the landscape in front. In the remaining sloping part of the property are olive trees, arable land and hints of woodland typical of the Tuscan hilly area. The wisteria-covered pergola with table and chairs for outdoor dining is adjacent to the entrance hall of the house; a brick barbecue is located on the uphill side, next to the driveway leading to the olive grove, at the end of a series of terracotta steps. Inside the property, immediately after the automatic entrance gate, is a parking area with space for two cars while, outside the gate, are another two parking spaces. The washing machine is located in a room next to the pool with external access. On the terracing below the pool is a storeroom for private use of the property serving as both the technical room for the pool and the storage of tools and machinery for the house.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

The swimming pool is 5 metres from the house, on the same level as the ground floor. Rectangular and measuring 12 x 6 m with the depth varying from 1.50 to 2.50 m, it is lined in light blue PVC with a travertine border and has chlorine purification and two metal ladders for access to the water.
