| Maramai, now a charming country house, used to be a small farm with 3 separate buildings.
It is named after the Tuscan farmer’s family who lived there until the early ’70s. The ground floor of the
main house was used for storage while cattle were tethered in the vaulted room. The family would live on
the second floor and the central room with the big chimneypiece used to be the kitchen. |
| |
|
| |
| The other tall building – we call it the dépendance – was used for drying tobacco, a major crop in the region (a typical Italian cigar is called “toscano”), and the small elongated building behind, now the pool house, used to be a pigsty. |
| |
 |
|
| Maramai is made up of 3 buildings: the main house, the converted stables and a building where tobacco used to be dried. |
|
| |
|
|
Maramai is located in the Podere Rovisci, the oldest vineyard
of the Tenuta di Gracciano, an estate renowned
among connoisseurs for the quality of its wines
(Vino Nobile di Montepulciano). The house was renovated
between 2000 to 2003 and transformed into a comfortable
country house with modern facilities that could
be lived in all year round. The ground floor is light and
spacious with many doors opening onto the garden. A remarkable
massive stone table under a pergola of vine is the perfect spot
for al fresco dinings. |

|
| These vaulted rooms used
to shelter the animals of the farm. They have been
skilfully converted into generous living rooms with
adjoining dining kitchen. Frenche windows let the
light flow in. |
|
| |
|
| |
|
The living room with fireplace on the upper floor used to be the farms kitchen. A door leads to the original outdoor stairs which have been keptm even though indoor stairs were added.
|
|
|
The upper floor and the adjoining dépendance house the bedrooms and bathrooms. The house sleeps 9 comfortably,
while a 10th person can be accommodated on the sofabed in the dépendance.
