Ropoli Sopra 4
A Tuscan farmhouse with loggia close to Siena : Rosia, Siena
Nice little touches
- From its cosy furnished loggia Ropoli Sopra has some of the best views on the Estate
- Family reunions find taking Ropoli Sotto and Sopra a great arrangement.
- Though the apartment has great peace and quiet, the estate organises Pizza evenings and other communal activities which guests are welcome to join in.
Good to know
- Pets are welcome, but only in Mid and Low seasons and never allowed around the swimming pools
Montestigliano is a historic Tuscan estate west of Siena, on top of a hill with fabulous views. Some of the farmhouses and agricultural buildings on the vast estate have been carefully converted into comfortable houses and apartments. Guests on the estate share two swimming pools, one reserved for those who want peace and quiet, the other, further from the houses, for allowing free rein to summer holiday fun.
The hamlet is reached by winding up the hill on an ancient "strada bianca", a gravel road. The two Ropoli buildings are halfway up the hill. Stopping midway up the hill has some advantages and Ropoli Sopra enjoys them all.
It has sweeping uninterrupted views of the valley and the hills that surround it, is has greater quiet than that found in the Estate's central piazza, and it has an olive grove in its back garden and a pizza oven at hand. The Family Pool is just a short walk up the drive.
Accommodation
Entrance to the apartment is from the loggia, a spot that quickly becomes guests' favorite place to linger and watch the world go by.
Furnished for meals al fresco, it is just a door away from the open-plan main room comprising a living area with a sofa and armchairs in front of an open fireplace and a well-crafted kitchen area with an island and a dining table for four.
A long corridor leads up to two bedrooms, a double and a twin, which share a shower room. There is a covered parking area below Damiano, the house across the drive, and with their car safely stowed, guests will find it a short walk to the closest pool, the Family Pool, just at the top of the drive.

Around Ropoli Sopra
Guests on the estate share two swimming pools, one reserved for those who want peace and quiet, the other, further from the houses, for allowing free rein to summer holiday fun. Guests at all the properties may wander at will all over the estate. Part of the lands front the River Merse, which has excellent swimming and is protected for bathers by the Sienese authorities. The tiny village of Torri, with its famous monastery and striped cloisters is two minutes away by car, while there are pizzerie and restaurants within a few minutes' drive. A very important extra here is provided by the charming owners who will unobtrusively keep out of your way or happily go out of their way to help you, providing endless extra services if you require them, from sending faxes, arranging balloon trips, providing touring information, to translating at the doctor's.
During the summer concerts and exhibitions are often organised in the ancient granary, an extraordinary lofty space (14 X 28 m.) spanned by great arches laced with tie bars. This barn is also very suitable as studio space for art courses or conferences, and the rooms below, next to the estate offices, include a games room with billiards, TV, ping pong, a dining room, a catering kitchen and a small gift shop. The little restaurant provides delightful suppers twice a week.

Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 5 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
