If ever you’ve wanted to feel as though you were living a fairytale, then this Tuscan villa would be happy to oblige. A thirty-minute drive away from the spectacular Lake Trasimeno, this home sits near the border between Tuscany and Umbria and lived its former life as an actual mediaeval castle. It now makes for the perfect base for a family reunion, and invites the entire group to come walk the lush estate, wandering between the private swimming pool, the sunloungers, or any one of the many sets of garden furniture and benches. Find your nook and hunker down, or continue walking the gardens, brushing your hand over shrubs as you daydream.
 
Admittedly, the grounds are very impressive, but the home itself shouldn’t be pushed aside. In homage to its former life, it combines a regal touch with rustic elements and the result is magnetic. Musicians might find themselves especially drawn to the piano where they can sit down and play as the rest of the group gathers in front of the fireplace in the lounge. 

Come together around the breakfast table – which the housekeeper will dress with the ingredients you purchased from the market – and set off shortly after to explore the rolling Tuscan countryside. If you want to stay put, play boardgames in one of the bigger rooms or take to the pool. Evenings should be reserved for stargazing – simply choose a spot on the huge lawn and enjoy.

This period stone villa, filled with antique furnishings, is what we call love at first sight. You will have four spacious floors all to yourself for a dream Tuscan escape with your loved ones. The property sits in the open countryside among rolling hills dotted with cypress trees. Outside, in the manicured gardens, you can make the most of the sunny days and read a book beside the pool or unwind in the Jacuzzi with a cocktail. You will never get weary of listening to the rustling oaks and orchard trees or inhaling the scent of herbs and roses. Sweat out any remaining stresses in the sauna, then whip up some fresh pasta in the kitchen and round up everyone for dinner under the gazebo. Should you need anything more, you’re just a one-minute drive from Sarteano, with its charming medieval houses, wine bars, restaurants and shops.

With its backdrop of rolling hills and its flourish of flowers signposting your welcome, this stone villa on the outskirts of Cetona in Tuscany is a vision of rural relaxation waiting to show you just how delicious slow living can be. Inside, exposed beams and tiled floors await you, with the main living area boasting a large hearth and country views for you to enjoy at your leisure. The farmhouse kitchen is a veritable snapshot of Tuscan traditionalism, while upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms wait to cradle you into a serene sleep. From the first floor, walk out on the geranium framed balcony for views of the lush green grounds, then walk down the stone steps to explore them up close. Here, a sunchair-lined pool invites plenty of dips in its refreshing waters while taking in views of medieval Cetona perched on its hilltop, reachable by car in five minutes. After a day luxuriating in the sun or exploring Cetona’s piazzas and palazzos, enjoy cocktails in the garden before sitting down to an alfresco feast as you watch the evening sky change to shades of pink and gold.

This 19th-century farmhouse has been beautifully restored, preserving all period features like terracotta tiles, oak floors and a travertine marble staircase. The sumptuously decorated dining rooms, living room and rustic-style kitchen are all interconnected without being totally open-plan, and there are as many dining room options as there are meals of the day. Sit up, formal-style under chintsy candelabra, country-style around the hardwood table, or alfresco, under the shade of the pergola. Outside you’re surrounded by rolling hills covered in vineyards and olive groves. Under the shade of oaks, cypresses, peach and apricot trees, and among the fragrant flowers, herbs and figs, you can easily believe the Garden of Eden is in Tuscany. At dusk, let the barbecue sizzle and sip celebrated local wines while listening to the songs of cicadas and crickets. In the morning, tip-toe to the pool for a refreshing swim and breakfast on the sundeck. There is a separate annexe for your personnel or for guests that might pop in at the last minute. A small annexe offers games for the kids, so adults can have some quiet time. You’re also a six-minute drive from Cetona where you can stock up on groceries or dine out.  

The Orchard Song

A hideaway in the Tuscan countryside, this beautiful home has an air of old Italy about it, without sacrificing modern comforts. Surrounded by the gold and green hills, it's a home for those who want to take a break from the everyday and bring the entire family along to do it with. With two houses and a sprawling garden, there is definitely enough room to accommodate everyone. In the mornings, step outside for an espresso before taking a refreshing dip in the pool. Relax under the Italian sun on one of the loungers — or retreat to the covered pergola with a good book. Inside, the home has retained many of its original features, including wood-beamed ceilings, an open stone hearth in the living room, and tall, arched windows looking out over the grounds. Sunflower-yellow walls throughout are sure to put a smile on your face. When golden hour hits, step outside to take in views of the Tuscan countryside, golden-hued and changing by the second, this is what the term 'sundowner' was made for.

Experience the charms of Chiusi from this beautiful apartment. The delightful town is an excellent base from which to explore Tuscany, with its restaurants, shops, and historic centre. The apartment is on the third floor of a historic building, so there’s no lift, but the payoff to all those stairs is the view of the surrounding countryside. It’s a warm, welcoming home-from-home, with a fully-equipped kitchen – why not whip up a Tuscan feast?

Tuscan Rooftops

Located just outside Cetona in Tuscany, this picturesque home is the perfect place to find peace and tranquility amidst the region’s renowned rolling hills and forests. A renovated stone mill, its romance is clear the moment you step inside. From its beamed ceilings, traditional kitchen and bright study that leads out in the garden, this compact but comfortable villa feels like an intimate country hideaway made for the sole purpose of your relaxation. And then there’s the bedroom with its forest palette, green gothic headboard and access to the terrace. Wake up and head outside for your morning coffee under a shady oak tree, then while away the hours in the pool or discover the babbling brook just beyond the home’s canopy of trees. The medieval town of Cetona with its sandy-hued piazza and palazzo is also just five minutes away by car. After a day luxuriating by the pool or exploring the nearby sights, come back home for a glass of wine in the stone courtyard before enjoying an intimate meal beneath the stars.

You can't beat the views of the beautiful Val D'Orcia, itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from this Tuscan farmhouse lying in the Siena Province on a private two-acre estate. Tear yourself away from the vistas, and you'll find a deft renovation, combining contemporary interiors and historic charm. An excellent choice for a large group of friends or family, there's plenty of space to spill out and feel at home here. Cool off from the Tuscan sun in the infinity pool. Put to use the vast, chef-worthy kitchen (we're talking two dishwashers, two ovens, and some) for a big dinner party – a private chef is bookable for fine dining. Or keep things easy and fire up the barbecue or pizza oven outside as breath-taking views of the valley spread out before you –  best seen beneath the pergola at sunset with a glass of something chilled. And on chiller nights, hunker down beside the fireplace with a good book – there are two living rooms to choose from. When it's time to lay your head, hop in the home's elevator and take your pick from the many bedrooms, boasting king-sized beds and separate bathrooms. We'll let you decide who lucks out on that ground floor suite with bi-folds opening onto the lawned gardens. Should you ever wish to leave this idyll, you'll find you're in an excellent base to uncover Tuscany's vineyards and historic villages, starting in Sarteano, just a ten-minute drive away. With its tempting trattorias and beguiling historic charms, you'll be off to a flying start.

This Tuscan home is set within a peaceful garden just outside the small town of Sarteano. Offering tranquility and privacy, it’s the perfect setting for a slow Italian escape. There’s a private pool for refreshing swims, a terrace with a barbecue and outdoor games for family fun. Inside, the rooms are set across two independent apartments – making this a great option for groups looking to stretch out and spend quality time together. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to the nearest amenities, while some of the most beautiful spots of Tuscany and Umbria are within easy reach.

Tuscan charm abounds at this rustic villa near Sarteano. Even with dated interiors, every room here conveys cosiness – picture arched stone walls, wood and terracotta ceilings, book-lined shelves, and a traditional fireplace. Outside, dappled terraces, a football field, and a private swimming pool will keep both grown-ups and little ones entertained. What's more, the rural location puts you within striking distance of Tuscany's old-world villages and rolling hills. Sarteano and Cetona are just minutes away, while Perugia and Siena are about an hour's drive and make good options for day trips.

Set out over three levels, with a different perspective over the stunning landscapes around every corner, this vast hilltop villa is guaranteed to impress. The interior is pure traditional Tuscany, with brick archways, exposed beams and terracotta flooring to ground you as you wander from room to room. 

Each of the individually decorated bedrooms brings its own charm, while the main bedroom – with direct patio access and stunning marble en-suite is set to dazzle even the most seasoned of travellers. The open-plan seating area and dining room form an integral heart of the home and would be the focus almost anywhere else. However, life in Tuscany is best lived outdoors, and you're blessed with a number of balconies, rooftop terraces, poolside patios and landscaped gardens (plus seating areas in each one) that ensure there's always a corner to claim as your own. We imagine you'll spend most of your days sprawled out by the pool, only interrupting your tanning time to grill some lunch and take part in sporadic table tennis tournaments.

The surrounding area is well worth exploring. In under ten minutes, you can reach the timeless medieval town of Cetona. Here, the scent of cypress trees fills the air as you explore the winding streets of one of Italy's most beautiful towns. Slightly further afield, you're also within an hour of Val d'Orcia, one of Tuscany's six world heritage sites and the subject of countless Renaissance paintings.

This 18th-century Tuscan farmhouse is set to impress. It’s in the heart of the Tuscan countryside south of Siena, close to Sarteano, where you’ll find a maze of narrow streets, a medieval castle, and plenty of bars and restaurants. Tucked away in 25 acres of olive trees, cypresses and vines, this home is a haven. Spend your days swimming in the private pool or unwinding in the sauna or Turkish bath. Play tennis, hit the bowling green, or pootle around on bikes, soaking up the tranquillity of the luxurious setting. Begin each day with a breakfast buffet and let your host take care of your every need.

The Rose of Time

Ten minutes from Sarteano town and an easy drive from Montepulciano, this charming Tuscan estate has its own outdoor pool and wellness facilities. The gym and spa are well-equipped, with a heated indoor pool, Finnish sauna and professional exercise equipment. Made up of a main home and an annexe, there's plenty of room for large groups to spread out, and for kids and pets to tire themselves out in the garden. You'll have privacy and countryside views, plus it's a great base to explore the Val d'Orcia and Valdichiana regions by car.

Tucked away at the end of a four-kilometre dirt road, Casa Rossa provides guests with complete privacy and serenity for a most relaxing stay in the rolling hills of the Valdichiana. Welcoming up to twelve guests, this is an excellent choice for a group of friends or a family gathering. Casa Rossa boasts a contemporary look that creates both a refreshing contrast to its rural setting and offers guests plenty of modern luxuries, from the sleek kitchen to the indoor fire pit. Step outside and make the most of the expansive lawn, large pool and outdoor dining set up. Although you're about an hour and a half from Florence, you can always create your own Bistecca alla Fiorentina on the barbecue. What a way to spend a vacation.

Casa Rossa

You'll find this traditional villa where Tuscany meets Umbria, just a few kilometres from the medieval borgo of Città della Pieve. As far as locations go, it's incredibly scenic. The region is home to rolling hills, centuries-old olive groves, and must-see cities such as Perugia and Cortona – all easily accessible by car. Back home, the private pool is ideal for afternoon dips, the terrace has alfresco dining written all over it, and the balcony is the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine. The layout inside is a little quirky – multiple bedrooms are connected together, and one has external access – but that's all part of the charm.

Umbrian Classic

It might sound impossible but we think the perfect Tuscan villa should manage to give off both a peasant and a palatial vibe at the same time. You know the kind of thing: a rambling country house that despite its impressive size – dozens of high ceilinged rooms, imposing archways, ideally a swimming pool out in the capacious grounds – still gives the impression that its occupants might just be out in their orchard picking olives. That description certainly applies to this gorgeous family-friendly villa: a classic example of super-relaxed luxury. Located in the Tuscan countryside, it’s surrounded by forests and within an hour’s drive of tourist favourites like Siena, Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Assisi. Inside you’ll find a country kitchen with a rustic dining table to seat 12; six comfortable bedrooms, colour-coded with their en-suites in earthy tones; and two large living rooms with plump, chintzy sofas. Throw back the patio doors to extensive gardens filled with lavender, olives and cypress trees, plus an outdoor lounge, a large swimming pool, barbecue and a wood-fired oven. Turns out the perfect Tuscan villa isn't impossible at all.

Formerly a 16th century convent, this enchanting villa is bursting with character and has been renovated with every comfort and enjoyment in mind. Step into the cool stone entrance hall and you will instantly note the attention to detail. There are two distinctive reception rooms, decorated with a curated selection of original furniture, paired with custom creations from local artisans and designer touches. The kitchen is fully stocked with high spec appliances, and the dining room is the perfect place for breakfast, with views of the rolling green olive groves out of the window. 

Outside, there are plenty of spots to relax in the sun and the shade, and there is no better way to start the day than plunging into the sparkling pool. There is also an indoor hydro massage pool to relax and unwind in after a day's activities. At sunset, gather everyone for an aperitivo under the pergola, whether it’s a negroni or a bottle of red from neighbouring Montepulciano, and fire up the barbecue for an al fresco dinner. There is a vegetable garden you are welcome to pick from. If you don’t fancy cooking, a private chef can be arranged to whip up Italian delicacies. The villa is on the outskirts of Sarteano, a tiny town with picturesque stone streets, a Mediaeval castle, and some excellent Tuscan restaurants. 

Villa Monastero

Umbrellas

A trip to rustic Tuscany is always a good idea – and staying in this beautiful home seals the deal. This gorgeous pale stone house is tucked just outside of the small town of Palazzone in the Tuscan countryside. Far-reaching views of the lush countryside of Tuscany and Umbria make for a magnificent backdrop, complementing the centuries-old trees, olive groves, and meadows that surround the home. This is an idyll, where the scent of lavender carries on the breeze. 

The garden is a haven of tranquillity and natural beauty. Float in the swimming pool while you watch bees bob around the flowers, the hum of insects the only sound to disturb the peace. Spend hours at the alfresco dining table, turning languid lunches into lively dinners as the sun sinks in the sky and the wine is poured more freely. 

When the Tuscan sun is at its strongest, shelter in the traditional living room, beneath wooden beams. The villa is cool and calm, with enough room for everyone to enjoy their own space. 

You might like to drive out to explore the region, popping into Palazzone to eat pizza in the much-loved restaurant. The town is famous for its wine production, and is a far offshoot of the Chianti region – you can happily spend an afternoon or two visiting the local vineyards and sampling the wine. Your host’s family produces their own wine and olive oil – add some freshly baked bread and local cheese, and you have the makings of a perfect lunch. 


Honey & Lavender

The Italian countryside has a magnetic charm. Could it be the holy trinity of wine, food and verdant views? Definitely. Or the temperate Mediterranean climate? Certainly. But it’s also because it’s where you’ll find glorious holiday homes like this one. 

Set in the hills of San Casciano dei Bagni and Chiusi, this magnificent stone farmhouse straddles the border between two fairytale regions – Tuscany and Umbria. Explore both of their charming towns, cultures, and cuisines with ease from this central base. We recommend the neighbouring hillside towns of Cetona and San Casciano dei Bagni, but if you’d like to venture a bit further afield, the nearby railway station in Chiusi allows for breezy day trips to Cortona, Siena and Montepulciano. 

But for all that, you'll have more than enough to keep you busy with all this home has to offer. The well-selected modern furniture and fixtures blend beautifully with the terracotta floors, brick-vaulted ceilings, stone arches and fireplaces. The classical rustic interior transports you to the past, especially with the countryside views from nearly every room. 

And there’s a lot to see – sitting proudly on a five-hectare estate, the home looks out onto both cultivated land and woodland, a lush garden of flowers and cypress trees. Outside, the rolling landscape is best enjoyed by the shimmering stone pool or the romantic, shaded pergola. In the heat of the afternoon, read in the cool of the study before returning to the patio. Lounge until sunset, where the fiery colours linger longer, and are best enjoyed alongside a bold Tuscan red from the cellar.

This is a rural Italian escape to remember. This 18th-century home has been restored using local natural materials, ensuring its Tuscan heritage is in full view. The villa stands in unspoiled gardens within seemingly endless fields and woodland – you’ll feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle, but the shops, restaurants, and thermal springs of San Casciano dei Bagni are less than 5 kilometres away. You’ll need a car to explore the area, but your efforts will be rewarded with visits to some of Tuscany’s most picturesque spots. 


Italian Grove

Built in the eighteenth century, this former farmhouse combines rural living with the best of the modern world. Boasting sweeping views of the Val D’Orcia from the infinity pool, we can’t imagine a more perfect place to hang out as the hot Italian sun makes its way across the horizon. Enjoy alfresco dining on the lush patio, fire up the pizza oven for an authentic Italian experience or prepare wonderful meals with ultra-fresh fruit and veg straight from the garden and the famous Chianti wine in the contemporary kitchen inside. Several living areas allow the group to spread out, and have all been immaculately styled and designed – think sleek fireplaces and dazzling modern art against white-wash wooden ceilings and exposed stone walls. Bedrooms are just as stylish and some come with direct garden access and luxurious free-standing tubs. If you want to keep on top of your fitness game, there’s a gym on the first floor with a glorious picture-frame window showing off the view of the rolling Tuscan hills. In terms of location, you’re a ten-minute drive from the beautiful Tuscan town of Sarteano with its red-roofed ancient buildings and crumbling castle. Chuisi with its local museums, winding streets and train station is just a twenty-minute drive too.  

Farmhouse Modern

You’ll find this rustic villa set among Tuscany’s rolling hills and endless countryside. Inside, there’s a warm ambience thanks to the terracotta tiles, homespun furnishings and farmhouse-style kitchen. If you’ll be spending time outside, we bet you’ll be relaxing by the private pool with a refreshing beverage in hand. Spend afternoons dipping in and out of the water before sitting down to an Italian-inspired feast at the alfresco dining table. 

If exploring sounds like a good idea, take the short drive to charming Chiusi for a stroll around the honey-hued streets and an espresso in a traditional cafe. Should a day trip be on the cards, travel north to Arezzo – visit the hilltop cathedral, Basilica di San Domenico and the imposing Medicean Fortress. Return to your abode in the early evening for a glass of wine or two on the terrace followed by a night of blissful sleep in the comfortable bedrooms.

Sunshine Burst

Surrounded by Tuscany’s undulating hills, this renovated stone farmhouse on the outskirts of Stabbiano di Sotto is the very definition of bliss. Inside, exposed beams, an open hearth and plump sofas create a warm welcome, while the kitchen-dining area is ready to host an elegant dinner. Open up the French doors to the garden and step into a lush dreamscape of rural relaxation. Jump into the swimming pool’s inviting water, then dry off in the balmy Tuscan air under the poolside pergola. When you’re not exploring the home’s vast grounds, drive to nearby Casciano dei Bagni, a beautiful medieval town famed for its thermal baths, just twenty minutes away. After a day of lounging or exploring the Tuscan countryside, sit down for an alfresco barbecue in the garden before retreating to the comfortable bedrooms, where a serene night’s sleep is most definitely in store. 


Wind's Whisper

Paid Parking On Premises

Single-Level Home

This elegant apartment is located in the main square of the charming town of Città della Pieve. It’s in Umbria but is just 7 kilometres from Tuscany, making this home a great choice of base if you plan on seeing more of Italy. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. The apartment is equipped with everything you might need for a short break, including a desk for those working remotely during their stay. 

Italian Tastes

Set against the backdrop of Umbria’s green rolling hills and topaz sky, this exposed stone villa on the outskirts of Città della Pieve holds the promise of uninterrupted rest and relaxation. Inside, a blend of elegance and farmhouse traditionalism creates a feeling of unmistakable serenity in the living room, with its beamed ceilings and simple hearth adding warmth and rustic flair. Paired with the dining room’s ornate chandelier and the bright, modern kitchen, the home wears its country chic style with effortless grace. Factor in the three comfortable bedrooms with their countryside views, including the enviable master bedroom’s private balcony, and you’ve got rural romance in spades. Outside, the large swimming pool with its waterfall feature is where you’ll want to spend long, sunny afternoons, while evenings call for poolside drinks around the well–style table as you watch the sun set behind the hills. Fire up the grill while the little ones entertain themselves in the garden’s playhouse and slide, then gather together for an alfresco meal under the pergola as the stars come out one by one.

Cara Mia

Balcony / Patio

In the wine-rich region of the Val d’Orcia, this villa looks out over tumbling hills and dense forests. It’s a UNESCO-protected landscape, and wandering the hiking trails through the hills around you, you’ll find Etruscan tombs – perhaps visit the Etruscan museum in Chiusi, a twenty-five-minute drive away. If you want to stock up on groceries or enjoy lunch in a medieval hilltop town, Sarteano is less than ten minutes drive away.

Perched atop a hill, you’ve got a panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside from the pool deck. Here, a shimmering turquoise pool invites you for a dip in the heat of the day. Various terraces and patios offer places to dine, recline and unwind, all with a stunning countryside view. Inside, it’s a feast for the eyes with original artwork worthy of the Ufizzi on display. There are a few different living rooms to choose from, allowing the group to spread out. Perhaps spend the evening by the striking modern fireplace, or in the sunroom overlooking the valley. If you manage to bag the master bedroom, there’s a sumptuous soaking tub set into the stonework. 

Rose of the Hills

Close to the spa town San Casciano dei Bagni, this converted farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees won us over immediately. You can completely immerse yourself in the Tuscan countryside here, with rolling hills serving as a picturesque background as you enjoy the pool and dine alfresco in the garden. While the style indoors won't be for everyone, the authentic wooden ceilings and exposed brickwork create a rustic atmosphere – speak to your host about hiring a chef and enjoy an authentic Italian dinner at home.

Enchanted Tuscan Retreat

Sitting pretty on sixty-five hectares of rolling countryside, this 16th-century villa has been renovated into a luxury retreat with designer touches. Even though an indoor pool, gym, wine cellar and billiard room ups the ante inside, the outdoors is where this home truly shines. Admire the views from the sprawling garden. You'll also find a private pool with ample poolside seating and a shaded veranda for alfresco dining. Location-wise, it's within driving distance of thermal spas, Siena, Florence and several other art cities. And for more active guests, Lucciola Bella Nature Reserve has various hiking trails. 

Tuscan Treasure

Just outside the charming village of Sarteano, this cosy villa is surrounded by woodland and rolling Tuscan countryside. We love the arched window looking out over the garden – the perfect spot to curl up on a plushy sofa with a good book. To cool down, take a long swim in the pool before drying off for an aperitif on the terrace, just one of the many outdoor lounging areas. Indulge in long lunches under the shade of the greenery before a round of table tennis on the lawn. If you’re looking to add a touch of luxury to your holiday, the spa resorts of Chianciano Terme, Bagno Vignoni, and Bagni San Filippo are just half an hour away. Wine connoisseurs might enjoy a trip to Montepulciano to wash down a cheese tasting in Pienza. Art lovers will no doubt take the hour’s drive to Siena or Arezzo for a day drip. No matter what little adventures you decide to go on, be sure to stop and smell the flowers in the garden and feel the soft grass between your toes. 

Sartini

Traditional design, access to nature and a private pool – this Tuscan farmhouse is the perfect setting for a dreamy Italian getaway. Outside, you can enjoy total peace and tranquility in the garden. There are two wisteria-covered pergolas, a barbecue and a pizza oven. A private chef can be arranged to prepare all your meals (on request) and there are a range of other extra services available – including wine tasting and wellness treatments. Daily housekeeping is included in your stay and a complimentary welcome dinner is provided on your first night. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to the famous Spa town of San Casciano dei Bagni.

The Light of Dreams

Providing sweeping views of the Tuscan countryside, this rustic villa guarantees a restful break for a family or group of friends. While the traditional, worn-in interior won’t be to everyone’s taste, we think it’s charming. Outside, there’s a heated swimming pool, a dining terrace and loungers for sunbathing sessions. Plus, there is a vegetable patch and orchard – feel free to help yourself to fresh produce. If you’d prefer to let the professionals take care of dinner, the closest restaurant is 3 kilometres from the home while Sarteano town is 8 kilometres away.

Carmine Sunset

Situated in southern Tuscany, offering sweeping views of the rolling hills and vineyards, this villa is the perfect location for a peaceful holiday. The town of Radicofani is a ten-minute drive away, home to restaurants, shops and supermarkets, while sleepy San Casciano dei Bagni is reached in twenty. The abode features modern amenities including a sauna, private pool, and a tennis court – though the ground is uneven, so it won’t be suitable for serious players. There’s also a covered gazebo for alfresco dining and a comfortable seating area from where you can watch the sunset.

Tuscan Lullaby

Underfloor Heating

Beach / Pool Towels

Traditional charm, stunning views and a private swimming pool – this home has everything you could need for a blissful Italian escape. There are two outdoor seating areas, a barbecue and a pizza oven for delicious evening meals. Inside, the rooms are filled with art along with a range of home comforts to ensure optimum relaxation. Exercise enthusiasts will also appreciate the home gym. Daily housekeeping is included in your stay and your host can help organise a range of extra services – including private chefs and wine tastings. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to the nearest amenities in Sarteano, while Montepulciano, Montalcino and Chianciano Terme are all within easy driving distance. 

Golden Tuscan Sun

Nestled high on a hill in the Sienese countryside, this enchanting villa offers the perfect escape from your everyday. Ideal for large groups or families, there's ample room to make memories and enjoy some downtime on your own. Wooden beamed ceilings and typical Tuscan styling come together to create a cosy, homely vibe. 

You'll love spending your days lounging by the private pool while savouring undulating views of the verdant hillsides. In the late afternoon, potter around the fragrant herb gardens or take an early-evening stroll through the cypress and olive gardens – you've got plenty of space to explore here. Enjoy family dinners in the artisan-style dining room, or gather on the patio for a spot of alfresco dining under the shade of the trees.

If you tire of the incredible views here (spoiler – you won't) and decide it's time to explore further afield, the historic Brunello di Montalcino winery is reachable in just over an hour by car. We enjoyed a relaxing day out at Terme di San Casciano dei Bagni – it's only an eleven-minute drive away and is home to ancient thermal waters and modern thermal baths.

Tuscan Medley

Mini Bar

Cafetiere

This swoon-worthy Tuscany villa presents a dreamy fairytale-like setting amidst the quiet, green woodland of Sarteano. Unveiling romantic and characteristic scenery, the home itself is also brimming with charm and personality throughout. Stone walls, exposed wooden beams and terracotta tiling invite guests in for a true taste of Tuscan design. With a combination of modern and traditional furnishings, the home boasts both comfort and practicality, all while remaining true to its quintessentially Italian identity. Stylish, warm and welcoming, the space allows guests to soon feel relaxed and at ease upon arrival. 

A stone patio separates a three-storey annexe from the front of the main building, meaning guests can benefit from the extra added privacy of having two separate living spaces – perfect for groups of multiple families. The annexe features two en-suite double bedrooms, with its own lounge and kitchen. 

Beyond the house, you'll have full access to the serene gardens (spread over 5000 square metres) and an abundance of flora and fauna that fills the air with an array of seasonal scents all year round. Perch by the garden's big oak tree for a secluded spot to relax and unwind with a glass of wine. And when the weather is particularly warm, there's no better place to cool off than over at the swimming pool which overlooks the rolling Tuscan hills in the distance. 

If you can manage to pull yourselves away from this delightful slice of paradise, Sarteano is located just eight minutes from the villa where you'll find all the necessary shops and amenities in the backdrop of a stunning village setting. You'll also find famous spa resorts like Chianciano Terme (just a twenty-minute drive away) as well as Bagno Vignoni and Bagni San Filippo (reachable in thirty minutes). 

Food and wine fans should head to the towns of Montepulciano and Pienza (both forty minutes away), where local wines and cheeses can be sampled for a truly authentic Italian experience. Shopaholics are also in for a treat here, as the Valdichiana Outlet Village in Foiano della Chiana is just positioned around a forty-minute drive away from the villa too.



The Italian Dream

Charming and traditional, this Tuscan villa sits in a serene spot near San Casciano Dei Bagni, and is ideal for those looking to get away from it all and enjoy some relaxing days amongst nature. Featuring a main house and a separate annexe, this home is ideal for large groups who'd occasionally like to split up and enjoy more privacy. The interiors are dreamy and elegant, with a neutral colour scheme that invokes a sense of calm. This vibe carries through to the outside of the home, where you'll find a gorgeous private pool that you can soak in while you stare out at the stunning views that surround you here.

Olive Garden

Sitting on the peaceful border between Tuscany and Umbria, adventurers will be glad to know this home isn't too far off the beaten track. In one direction, Chiusi beckons you to visit the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and, the other way, Città della Pieve calls you into Pieve Co-Cathedral – both are a seven-kilometre drive. One thing's for certain when you come here, lots of fresh air and hilly picnics.

Ideal for groups craving a sense of space, this idyllic home spreads out over three separate apartments. With plenty to do among the fruit trees and flowers, how about a morning workout in this open-air gym? Maybe relaxing in the hot tub would suit you better, or dipping your toes in the infinity pool to keep cool during those sunny afternoons. If you're staying in the winter, just imagine dining on Italian-inspired dishes with your dearest ones – farm-to-table cooking couldn't be easier thanks to the abundant vegetable garden.

Against the Golden Wall

Step-Free Access

For a peaceful escape to Tuscany, this home is a great choice. It’s spread between two separate houses so is ideal for two families travelling together, allowing you to enjoy your own space. Outside, you’ll have a swimming pool to cool off in, and some magnificent views to drink in. We love the alfresco dining area, and the clean, modern style. We’d recommend hiring a car so you can easily get out and explore, as the nearest town with restaurants and shops is 2 kilometres away.
