LOCATION:
Cetona is a small medieval village of about 53
sq km with 3000 inhabitants located in the Valdichiana countryside,
80 km south east of Siena.
Its territory includes a mountainous area, Monte
Cetona, known in ancient times as Monte Piesi, and a hilly area that
slopes towards the plain, the Valley of Astrone. Cetona, located at
385 mt above sea level, also includes Piazze, Belverde and
Camporsevoli. In the centre of this incomparable scenery , about
1,5 km from the village centre, is the residence comprised of 6
independent farmhouses, each with park and swimming pool. The
village of Cetona can be easily reached thanks to the nearby
motorway and railway systems linking Milan and Rome. Both for
those coming from Milan and for those coming from Rome, the nearest
motorway exit is Chiusi-Chianciano Terme, about 10 km away. The
nearest railway station is Chiusi-Chianciano Terme, an important
junction between northern and southern Italy on the Milan-Rome
railway line. Florence and Rome can be easily and rapidly reached
(about 1h 15 min).
