ARNIANO
MURLO

Sleeps 12
Arniano is a wonderful and much loved
family home, decorated and furnished with a
wonderful mixture of Bohemian chic Italian
style, while effortlessly combining
quintessential English touches. Its
spectacular panoramic views, and location
in the glorious countryside south of Siena,
within easy reach of southern Tuscany's
most desirable hill towns, makes Arniano a
rare find.
Its present owners bought Arniano in the
early 90's, and were one of the first to see
the beauty of the now so fashionable Senese
region of southern Tuscany. Our ethos has
been to offer "real homes", and with rural
elegance, and Arniano is no exception. This
charming farmhouse has been lovingly
converted by its decorator owner into an
unusually light and airy property. Walking
into the elegant hallway., with its wide
staircase leading to the first floor, a
contemporary painting by a Kenyan artist
looks equally at home with family pictures
and a battered Panama elegantly perched on
a walking stick. A hugely elegant living
room running the full width of the house
provides a fabulous entertaining area, the
centerpiece being a huge fireplace
surrounded by deep, comfortable sofas, an
eclectic mix of artifacts, paintings and a
massive tapestry on the wall. From here, is a
very large kitchen and dining area that much
be the dream of all who imagine their perfect
kitchen in the sun. French doors lead to a
wisteria covered pergola and courtyard for
breakfast in the shade, with a further shaded
area for an alternative venue for lunch. Large
bathrooms, and the divine bedrooms are
decorated and furnished in the owner's
distinctive style, understatedly grand, with
the master bedroom suite being particularly
comfortable. Outside, the house is
surrounded by gardens and lawns, with
several sitting areas, and endless corners to
sit, snooze or read. Yet another "outside
room" a converted barn with chandelier, has
steps leading down to a formal area
surrounded by lawns and a large, fenced in
pool, from which there are views to die for.
Nearby, a fabulous shaded area with a
pergola, comfy day beds, wicker chairs, and
a low table has a distinctly Moroccan feel to
it. The space and diverseness of its living
areas, both inside and out, means that guests
will be reluctant to leave, preferring to spend
their days just savoring the experience and
being spoiled. A cook will shop and cook
nearly every day, and the maid prepares
breakfast. However, for those who want to
explore, Siena and the famous hill towns of
Montalcino and Pienza are within easy reach.
There are classical music concerts
throughout the summer, and nearby Murlo
has an Etruscan site. Highly recommended.
