Color and comfort within walking distance of the picturesque medieval town of Sarteano
Aptly named ‘the house of colors’, Casa dei Colori combines the rich hues of its antique furnishings, warm terracotta floors and touches of sophisticated gray with the sparkling turquoise of its infinity pool and the contrasting greens of olive, cypress and oak fading to the silvery blue of the Val de Chiana’s distant hills. Artfully designed with wrap-around views, the spacious sitting and dining rooms all open onto surrounding roofed terraces, welcoming in the pine-scented breezes and stunning landscapes in the comfort of shade from the sometimes piercing mid-day Tuscan sun. Inside, Casa dei Colori combines traditional and contemporary styles with designer light fixtures, top quality textiles and upholstery, precious rugs and artwork, silver pieces and porcelain dishware. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a corner fireplace for those truly Italian grills as well as a professional-standard range and a full complement of equipment. And just a few minutes down the road is the delightful and lively town of Sarteano, providing a full choice of shops, restaurants and services. Casa dei Colori is a superb home base for families or groups of friends to enjoy the riches of local life in an unspoiled corner of Tuscany. Floorplan
