Welcome to Part 2 of of our Villa Spotlight article on the gorgeous Via Della Stella (Montepulciano 850), located in the hills of the Val di Chiana. The region was once a marshland but was drained in the 18th century and quickly became one of the most fertile region of Italy. While you admire the beauty of the region and the Chiana River itself, its hard to imagine it as the swamp it once was.

The smaller brick cottage dates back to the 18th century, while the farmhouse was built in the early 20th century. Both buildings have been renovated and meet modern expectations.
