Nestled in the hills of Maremma, between the UNESCO World Heritage Val d'Orcia and Monte Amiata, Villa Cerimano comprises three independent residences on 1.5 hectares of gardens, woodland, and wellness areas, designed according to sustainable architecture principles.
Architect Edoardo Milesi, known for his work on Castello di Colle Massari and Castello di Vicarello, combined traditional Tuscan materials - stone, wood, handmade terracotta - with solar thermal systems, photovoltaics, and water-efficient irrigation from three wells. The result is a property that blends seamlessly with the landscape.
