Villa Mendy

History: This property was purchased in the last decade of the 20th Century and underwent a total renovation. Owned by a renowned interior designer, the villa is a beautiful stone-brick building and the vast majority of the furniture and amenities are conceptualized, designed, and manufactured by the owners themselves. In fact, most of the home decor and furnishings – from the handmade soaps and olive oils, to the embroidered towels and bathrobes, to the dining table – can be purchased from an interior design catalogue. Description: This is an extremely cosy, stone Tuscany rental home with great stone-brick floors, offering everything a renter requires on 30 acres of private land. There are two bedrooms located in the main core of the house and an additional three which are technically external bedrooms, but still located under the main roof. There is a nice parking area with plenty of room for more than enough cars required for the capacity of this house. The first double bedroom is a twin and is situated off of the corridor of the main entrance. This twin double enjoys an en-suite bathroom with shower. The second bedroom is a master double with a closet and dresser and beautiful en-suite bathroom with separate bathtub and large, glassed-in shower. This bedroom enjoys a ceiling fan. Down a flight of steps leads to a living room with couches, day beds, a stone fire place and exit out onto a terrace with a dining table for 6, patio chairs, and some of Tuscany’s best views. There is a secondary living area with a daybed (which can sleep one), a card table, T.V., & fax machine. The downstairs area boasts the beautiful, large dining room and kitchen. The dining table is a rectangular table for 8, there is a large, stone fireplace, and the kitchen enjoys a double oven, 8-range stovetop, slicer, dishwasher, microwave, and small island preparation area. Great kitchen for food lovers! There is also a full bathroom with shower and a laundry room with refrigerator & freezer and washer & dryer. The kitchen leads out onto a beautiful and beautifully panoramic stone terrace with covered dining area for 8, a nice, large living area with comfortable seating areas and couches. There is a small vegetable garden and outdoor barbeque area. The terrace goes all the way around the house, which is situated on a beautiful mountain surrounded by pine, cypress, fig, nut trees, and grape vines. Views from the property go out over the towns of Radiocofani, Pienza, & Contignano. The terrace leads down to a small set of steps to the pool area with several lounge chairs for sunbathing. The 3rd & 4th bedrooms, located around the back of the house, are independent but can be communicating. The third bedroom is a twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom, while the fourth bedroom is a double with en-suite bath with separate bathtub and shower. The 5th bedroom is the tower bedroom, located up a small flight of steps leading out next to the 3rd & 4th bedrooms. This fifth bedroom is a double with en-suite bathroom with shower.
