"Agriturismo
Il Serraglio" is
located in a rural area of great scenic beauty. Farms, vineyeards and
orchards, are mixed in a very organic fashion with oak woods and pine
forests.
"Tuscany lies across amajor migratory bird flyway and the mixed habitat
makes for excellent birding."

When the tourist arrives at
this property , he stands spellbound by the view. Rolling hills with a
patchwork of vineyards, views out over Tuscany and the lakes of
Montepulciano and into Umbria and the Trasimeno. The
woodland that teems with wildlife is also home to the famous white truffles
of the regio n
as well as other woodland fare such as porcini, fruit, walnuts and almonds,
go for a stroll and see what you can find!
This simply beautiful property with its garden of acacia trees and umbrella
pines has been built in the best position to maximises these stunning views;
around a central floodlit courtyard with a well, each of the apartments and
cottages benefits from an unobstructed panorama.
The pool, 16 x 6 m., with its
jacuzzi and Roman steps has been terraced with travertine marble and a blend
of cotto and local stone, the quality of the whole restoration, shines
through and gives an air of exclusivity to a Tuscan experience bar none.
Each of the
recently renovated apartments has its own terrace and garden furniture and
has been furnished wit local antiques to create a country manor atmosphere
in a country cottage location. The owner and his wife are absolutely
charming and keep a well stocked cellar of the local wine and oil such as "Vino
Nobile" e "Rosso di Montepulciano".
Their knowledge of local small towns such as Monticchiello - a true gem at 9
Km. - and Montepulciano at 4 Km is extensive. Their love of the property and
the area shows in the personal touches that some properties sometimes lack.
The owners would also remmend trips to Chianciano 5 Km and Orvieto 35 Km for
days to remember
