Marta 6
A spacious apartment for 6 in Montestigliano
Nice little touches
- The estate organises Pizza evenings and other communal activities which are held in the main estate square.
- The two swimming pools mean there is one that is kept quiet for reading and relaxing while the second one - further away from the houses - is for fun and frolics.
Good to know
- Pets are welcome, but only in Mid and Low seasons and never allowed around the swimming pools
- Wireless internet available in all apartments, estate office, courtyard, furnished gardens and near swimming pools.
Casa Marta is an independent upper floor apartment with tall, airy rooms with Victorian proportions.
It is approached from an open fronted courtyard and has a pleasant, walled, furnished garden at the rear with beautiful views of the estate.
Sitting as it does at the heart of the estate, it is easy for guests to join in activities such as cooking classes or olive oil tastings held in the Granary, yet being on the top floor with views of the back woodlands, it is easy to preserve the sense of being away from it all.
Accommodation
Entrance to Casa Marta is through a door in the corner of the open-fronted courtyard at the heart of the estate.
A staircase leads past the ground floor laundry and up to a short corridor off of which are two bedrooms, a twin and a double, with lovely woodland views as well as a bathroom and a shower room.
A further corridor leads past a roomy eat-in kitchen with generous cupboards and counter space, past a double bedroom and finishes in a large living room with sofas, a dining table for 6, and a wood-burning stove, much appreciated by early Spring or late Autumn guests.
In similar proportions to this spacious apartment, guests have a wide secluded garden and furnished pergola for outdoor meals with a view.

Around Marta
Some of the farmhouses and agricultural buildings on the vast Montestigliano estate have been very carefully converted into pleasing, 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. 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 3 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
