Querceto Farmhouse, Tuscany, Italy

Own a home on a restored farmhouse estate in the heart of Tuscany's beautiful countryside.

Querceto Farmhouse is a 200-year old property that has been respectfully and tastefully renovated into six individual homes with picturesque views. Situated on the top of a hill looking onto the beautiful renaissance town of Pienza, the farmhouse is just five minutes from the medieval and romantic little town of Peccioli. It is surrounded by olive groves, Chianti vineyards and the Tuscan countryside, ideal for bicycle excursions, walks, horseback riding. There are two public swimming pools and tennis courts in Peccioli.

The estate is situated in the valley of Val d’Orcia, a region known for its excellent food, and is close to Siena, one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany. It is near to both the Cassia Road, that was built by the Romans to connect Rome with Florence, and the A1, Italy’s longest motorway, which links Milan and Naples. Pisa and Rome are only two hours away. Florence is 90 minutes away and Siena is just 30 minutes away.

Most apartments are configured over two floors and all benefit from a fireplace and a large private garden and a communal, eco-friendly natural swimming pool. Built to an original architectural style using top-quality Tuscan, Florentine terracotta tiles and wooden beam, every property will come furnished by an interior designer with custom-made furniture.

The redevelopment has been carried out by Gruppo Ares S.p.A, who have a reputation for choosing unique and prestigious locations for their developments. The group also fully manages the homes and offers an optional rental service that lets the homes out to high-income tourists through the best international tour operators. This pays all owners a 4 per cent rental yield per annum, with owners also getting a guaranteed two weeks of personal usage. If you choose to use the rental management service, you will receive a guaranteed yearly fee, whether your apartment is booked for the season or not.
