Starting from the 1960s, Cetona became a refuge for many people linked to the world of entertainment and cinema. One screenwriter in particular (nominated for an Oscar) was attracted by it and chose this charming estate as his home.The main house has a large living room with fireplace, a large kitchen (which benefits from the same fireplace), a large windowed study, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom offers a wonderful and uncontaminated view of the valley and upper Chiusi: a work of art in itself.The guest house, also on two levels, offers a beautiful living room, separate kitchen, 3 bedrooms (one on the ground floor and two on the first floor) and 2 bathrooms.To complete the property we find, at the back of the main house, a beautiful room (potential winter garden or yoga room), a barbecue behind the guest house, a garage well camouflaged in the rock a few steps away, the service rooms of the swimming pool set in the ground and a tool shed just outside the fence.Magical is how this place is defined; a harmony formed over time between very tall trees and undergrowth plants, mosses and ferns gifted by nature and flowers and plants skilfully inserted to give a sign of the presence of man.And then the sheds: the brick one in front of the house offers shelter for those who want to stay as long as possible to admire the Val di Chiana and the old Chiusi; another in wood, behind the guest house and, finally, the wrought iron gazebo refreshed by the ivy that covers it...The large lawn, under the maritime pines and outlined by stones, leads across a short stretch to the fairy lounge... a table and two stone seats completely covered in moss.... A delight…The location of the swimming pool, its natural shape, the lawn on which it rests, the fountain and the frieze that decorates the wall overlooking the valley constitute a further pleasure for the eye, a further space from which one would not want to leave, especially in the warmer days.In this context the owners have also managed to insert, without disturbing nature, an area for ping pong and a pinball table in order to give anyone moments of leisure; in addition to the thousand corners in which to read or simply rest in contemplation.About an hour from Siena, an hour and a half from Florence and about two hours from Rome.

This property is located in a dream natural setting, with breathtaking views of Lake Trasimeno, on a hill overlooking the panorama of the lake and the islands, but above all it offers unforgettable glimpses of centuries-old olive trees, cypresses and oaks. Already present in the Gregorian land register and in a map kept in the Vatican from 1500, it develops like an ancient village, expertly restored starting in 2002 by the architect and owner, who has respected the soul and history of each property by reusing typical materials such as pietra serena, terracotta, walnut beams, river stones combining them with modern materials such as iron, glass and steel. The result is an elegant, comfortable villa with unique and interesting architectural details. The cypress avenue welcomes us from the entrance and leads to the parking area created under a pergola with photovoltaic panels, from here through stairs shaded by lime trees one reaches the entrance of the villa where we are welcomed by a large lounge created in the rooms that were once dedicated to the stables, the small vaults on the ceiling recall history by connecting to the floor in yellow and gray pietra serena that create rhombus patterns. All the load-bearing walls have been left exposed, therefore they show the stone of the original construction while the others are plastered; from this large space one exits onto the terrace where a foliage of holm oaks acts as a tray to the lake and the view to quote the description of this corner made by the famous English architect Peter Curson who designed the garden of the entire property. Next to the living area is the kitchen with a central island, fully equipped with dining area and a laundry/pantry room. On the floor there are also two bedrooms with two bathrooms, one with glass mosaic and the other with a pebble floor. The internal connection with the first floor is through a helical staircase in solid chestnut wood which leads to the ancient living area of the farmhouse, therefore its use has been respected and today it houses a winter dining area, next to it the living/reading area is it connects to the sleeping area which houses three bedrooms with three bathrooms, two of which have a mezzanine which in the master houses a hydromassage tub. The other wing of the floor has another bedroom with bathroom for a hypothetical caretaker and a living room which today houses the winter kitchen. Outside, two stone outbuildings are a garage organized as a study and a two-level annex with kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. There is also the ancient oven with adjoining equipped storage room, perfect for dinners under the pergola with lake view, next to the swimming pool area, the latter always in a panoramic position is all in limestone with Roman steps, infinity and surrounded by lawn green and shaded area.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION On the border between Umbria and Tuscany, in a solemn hilly and panoramic position overlooking Lake Trasimeno, we offer for sale this majestic medieval castle, recently and skilfully renovated. THE CASTLE The complex looks like a suggestive fortification of great historical value, the construction of which, according to legend, would have very ancient origins: it would in fact date back to the year 608. The property is spread over an area of over 3,500 m2. and is made up of the Castle, an adjacent Villa and over 4.5 hectares of land. Thanks to its dominant position, it was an important defense outpost from enemies and, over the centuries, it has undergone numerous attacks, some of which have led to its partial or total destruction. The castle was also included in the Byzantine Corridor, a portion of territory administered by the Byzantines and the only connection between Rome and Ravenna during the period in which the Goths and the Longobards settled on the peninsula. In 1400, the fortification was an outpost to defend the Umbrian territory and subsequently the small village that currently exists and is inhabited was created around it. THE VILLA The nineteenth-century villa is spread over four floors in addition to the two levels of the characteristic turret with arched windows. The renovation was limited to the conservative restoration of the walls and the laying of the beams that support the floors. The original floors have also been recovered and preserved. The renovation project, still underway today, involves the installation of systems, the construction of 6 apartments, each with its own living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and common and service areas in the basement. STATE AND FINISHES The castle, which is made up of two adjoining blocks connected with internal stairs and external entrances, has recently been the subject of meticulous conservation and structural consolidation work. The various interventions include: the conservative restoration of the wall paintings and frescoes, the complete renovation of the roof, the installation of wooden window frames, the flooring of the ground floor and basement with original terracotta tiles, the installation of new electrical systems , water and heating. OUTDOOR SPACES The structure is surrounded by large gardens and courtyards, finely finished and equipped with a lighting system, which offer a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside, with Lake Trasimeno in the background. The castle also enjoys 4.7 hectares of land, divided between olive groves with 350 trees (3.3 ha), pasture (1.1 ha) and gardens (0.3 ha). The complex has two access routes that branch off from the road that climbs the hill and a beautiful tree-lined footpath. Below some parts of the castle is a tunnel carved into the rock, which was found to lead outside the fortress walls. It is assumed that in the past it was an escape route for the lords in the event of a siege.
