Oleander Oasis

Oleander Oasis: Tuscany

A true rural oasis, this flower-framed Tuscan farmhouse beautifully blends traditional charm with modern comforts to create the perfect quiet retreat. Hills teeming with olive trees, cypresses and holm oaks surround it on all sides, best enjoyed from the home's panoramic terraces. Inside, meanwhile, brick-clad archways, stone flooring and exposed beam ceilings blend with elegant furnishings in the living room to create a feeling of countryside grandeur. Wander around the garden brimming with lemon trees, jasmine and oleander plants and down the path to the secluded swimming pool where sun loungers invite luxurious afternoon relaxation. An outdoor dining table beckons at mealtimes for barbecue feasts, while the indoor pool table and the bedroom reading platform are perfect for whiling away quiet hours when the sun gets too hot. With the medieval village of Trequanda just a few minutes walk away and Siena reachable by car in just forty-five minutes, there’s plenty of exploring to enjoy in and around your private haven.
