A typical Tuscan farmhouse that has always been welcoming and hospitable: in the 19th century Podere Bellaria was, in fact, a post station, an inn catering to travelers on horseback. Later belonging to noble families, it was finally acquired by the current owner who has breathed new life it through painstaking restoration work that has respected the original layout and classic architectural elements while at the same time conferring, through an original play of contrasts, an important personal touch. The vivacious furnishings are of good quality, characterized by bright materials and rounded, ornate forms; the accessories and fabrics present unconventional details with the richness of the finishing touches which enhance the interior with its exposed stone walls. The property is characterized by large areas, both inside and out, and is particularly suitable for groups of friends or families who want to spend relaxing days together in the cosy, spacious living room or in the outdoor set-up areas yet, at the same time, have total independence which is guaranteed by the arrangement of the bedrooms in separate but adjoining units. In addition, adjacent to the central structure is an elegant multi-purpose room, able to accomodate up to 150 people for events and ceremonies. Immersed in the scenic countryside of the Crete Senesi, and just a few minutes from the famous spa town of Rapolano, the estate is a great base for exploring a region with great artist and culture. Not far away is the region of Chianti with its fascinating villages along the wine roads and, thanks to the excellent road network (the highway is just 4 km away), within easy reach are the little towns of Cortona, Montalcino, San Gimignano, Montepulciano as well as the great art cities of Siena, Arezzo and Florence.
