Residence Val d'Ambra
Montebenichi, Siena area, Tuscany

A completely and recently renovated and restored country residence which consists of 6 apartments, 4 double suites and a 2 bedroom independent villa. A unique combination of picture perfect landscape, winding roads lined with cypress trees, locally produced hearty food, friendly people and rich cultural legacy of the Renaissance. The foundations date back to the 1500's with several later additions. The current owner, a historical building contractor, brought the property from rubble to splendor in 3 years. Bravo!
