Villa Turino is a charming home dating back to the 12th century, where it was originally a water mill that belonged to the Monestery of Sant Antimo. The building was rebuilt in 1606 and the mill was functional up to about 60 years ago. Today, it is a comfortable retreat with open rustic designs and modern amenities. Located within proximity of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, 10km south of Montalcino, Villa Turino can accommodate up to 8 persons in its vast available spaces. It is a short five minutes walk from the amazing St Atimo Abbey, where a community of monks still reside and you can witness their choral singing at 3pm daily.
The solid stone wall gives it the rustic vibes. All rooms are spread out between the 1st floor and the Old tower, which can be accessed via stairs on the first floor. All the rooms are luxuriously furnished with wooden furniture. The spacious bedroom on the 1st floor comes with a large double bed with premium mattress and silky linens where you can sleep in comfortably, wardrobe space for your belongings and bedside tables with lights for your night time reading while the large en-suite bathroom which has a vintage feel is equipped with top of the range fixtures, toiletries and vanities. On this floor is also a study room which can also be used as an extra bedroom as it has a double bed divan as well as a large bathroom and separate shower room. A staircase leads to a further 2 double bedrooms in the Old tower (sort of like an attic).
Head outside to enjoy the expansive beautifully manicured garden which also boasts a stunning waterfall with natural rock-pool, perfect for soaking up the tranquil surrounding. Jump into the large private pool for a swim or relaxation. Get some sunshine idling on the plush sun-lounger. The wonderfully furnished semi-open terrace is a great place for drinks and al-fresco dining.
The interior is medieval style with beautiful sturdy stone walls and exposed beams. The ground floor houses the open plan living, dining and kitchen area with high quality furnishings blending in harmony with antiques and contemporary pieces. Relax comfortably on the ultra comfy sofas in the living room. Dine in style in the large dining area with its beautifully set up table and chairs. A large beautiful fireplace keeps you warm and fuzzy on those chilly nights. Another huge lounge with a fireplace can be found on the first floor, where you can relax in utter privacy while keeping warm. The kitchen is modern and complete with all the necessary appliances and equipment needed to cook up a feast. From the kitchen you get direct access to the garden and terrace, making dinner parties a breeze!
