The grand manor house, Villa Concerto, is a fourteenth century building. Recent renovations have taken the ancient building to a level of great modern comfort keeping the original integrity of its design or the spirit of its old stone walls and rustic ceiling beams. In the heart of the Tuscan hilltops, this estate offers over six acres with expansive lawns and dozens of aromatic and indigenous plants and trees. Situated in the most tranquil of settings on a rural hillside in the province of Siena in central Tuscany, Villa Concerto is located directly on the historic Via Francigena, the medieval pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. It connected the monastic stopovers of Monte Oliveto and Sant’Antimo and most likely hosted scores of pilgrims, merchants and adventurers through the centuries. The architecture of the manor appears to be in line with the Sienese trend of rebuilding and refurbishing properties in the medieval style, incorporating crenellations and older stone windows for dramatic effect — a forceful nod back to the 13th and 14th centuries when the power of the city and the region was at its height. After ten years of planning and reconstruction, the estate finally returned to what was, perhaps, its original function, the country retreat of a noble Tuscan family. The other houses, including at one point a chapel and the housing for the peasants and livestock, have new purpose after decades of disuse. Details like the communal outdoor brick oven and the time-worn steps leading to the main floor of the Manor serve as reminders that despite modern comforts, the Borgo’s history is long and rich. Situated throughout the three stories of the magnificent Manor House, the nine suites are spacious, beautifully decorated, elegant, and warmly comfortable. Each suite has a large, private sitting area, a bath with tub and rain shower, a daily-stocked mini-bar, coffee maker, central and individual room air conditioning controls, and an iPod docking station with surround sound in each room. Suite 1 (800 sq ft) Extraordinary master suite with large sitting area, desk and fireplace; private terrace; and an oversized bathroom with sauna, steam and Jacuzzi.
