The property reflects all the charm of old 15th century Tuscan buildings still visible in the stratification of the buildings and in the original architecture, which has remained intact, of the borgo. Once past the surrounding walls, you find yourself in a large internal courtyard around which open all the entrances of the residential units that make up the borgo. Sixteen spacious bedrooms, with air conditioning and private bathroom, the large living room and professional kitchen united in the imposing central body, substantial equipped outdoor areas and the swimming pool, immersed in an immense park, make the borgo the ideal place to host family reunions or to accommodate large groups of friends who wish to spend a relaxing stay in a secluded setting, albeit very close to the most beautiful and prestigious attractions of this part of Tuscany. The generosity and beauty of the outdoor areas make the location particularly suitable for events and ceremonies. The property is located less than 2 km from Monteriggioni, a 13th century fortified borgo set on a panoramic hill, dominating the slopes planted with vineyards and olive trees; just a short distance from Siena and also in an excellent position for visiting the entire Chianti region, dotted with numerous castles transformed into wineries and medieval towns where you will be conquered by splendid landscapes and ancient buildings. Within the property, on request, it is possible to taste and buy the extra virgin olive oil produced by the estate, to organise lessons in typical cuisine in the large professional kitchen, and to avail yourself of staff and a personal chef for your entire stay.

In the courtyard onto which all the entrances open, particularly that of the kitchen, a dining area has been set up with tables and chairs with, close by, a wood oven and barbecue. A large loggia a short distance from the courtyard and the terrace on the first floor of the main house are perfect relaxation areas, where you can sit and admire the panoramic views.

Its name, like the bird from which it comes (the Phoenix), summarises the symbol of rebirth; and this comparison is more than appropriate considering the origins of Casa la Fenice which, from a simple country farmhouse, has been transformed, reborn, into a splendid Tuscan residence, after having undergone an important renovation which the owner was particularly keen to do, and which bears witness to the sentimental bond with these walls. We are in a lesser-known, but extraordinarily beautiful, corner of Tuscany, where the contrast, between the verdant hills and nature reserves of Berignone and Monterufoli-Caselli and the wonderful lunar landscapes endorsed by the Valle di Diavolo, stands out: with all its enchantment it offers surprising glimpses of nature manifesting itself with all its strength, giving almost an air of veiled mystery with the geothermal vents in the background. The original stone left exposed on the internal walls, the beams and terracotta of the ceilings, the bright air-conditioned rooms, each with private bathroom, and the panoramic terrace on the first floor are just some of the strong points of Casa La Fenice, where the cosy living area on the ground floor with the beautiful kitchen with marble worktop opens onto the outdoor living areas. All around, it is enveloped by a fenced garden enhanced by delightful dry-stone walls, fruit and olive trees, and embellished by numerous areas for breaks, relaxation and fun: the hydromassage tub, the barbecue area, the newly-constructed swimming pool and the numerous living and relaxation areas that will not betray the expectations of a dream stay. The house is located outside the town of Pomarance (about 1 km away), among the most representative borghi of the Alta Val di Cecina, with the Rocca Sillana dominating the natural beauty of this scenario from above. The location is perfect for enjoying privacy and tranquillity but also for exploring the splendid scenery of the Val di Cecina, a land of ancient borghi (Pomarance, Volterra, Montecatini Val di Cecina), numerous oases and nature reserves.
Interior:
Casa La Fenice has two floors connected by an internal staircase. A few steps lead to the main entrance on the ground floor. From here a staircase leads up to the first floor and a short ramp leads into the living area consisting of a spacious, well-equipped kitchen connected to the dining room; the rooms have direct access, through French windows, to the garden and are served by a bathroom with shower. Completing the ground floor are three double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom with shower, each with outside access and not communicating internally with each other. On the first floor is a double bedroom with a small balcony, a bathroom with a chromotherapy shower, a TV room with a double sofa bed and access to the terrace and, finally, the laundry room.
Park:
The park surrounding the house extends over a flat area of about 20,000 sq m and is completely fenced. The garden around the house has lawn areas delimited by dry stone walls and enlivened by bushes of aromatic herbs, fruit trees and a sea of olive trees. In this welcoming setting are a hydromassage tub (that can be available with extra cost and heated up to 27degreest) with adjacent guest bathroom, a lovely pool of water lilies, a wooden gazebo with table and relaxing sunbeds near the beautiful swimming pool, a barbecue area with wood oven and barbecue and a large portico with dining table in a convenient position at the exit of the kitchen. Past the entrance gate of the property is the parking area, close to the house entrances.
Swimming Pool:
The newly-built swimming pool lies in the garden in front of the living area exits just a few metres away and can be reached down a ramp with a few steps. The rectangular pool, measuring 5 x 10 m with a constant depth of 1.30 m, is lined in sand-coloured PVC and has chlorine purification, internal lights and Roman steps for access to the water. Surrounding the pool is the sunbathing area paved in stoneware with sunbeds, umbrellas and a cold-water shower. The pool is available from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
