Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This villa in Tuscany is full of rustic charm, with stone walls, wooden beams, and plenty of original character. Fun fact: it was once part of a watermill system that helped supply Siena with flour. You’ll have your own little spot outside for dining, plus access to shared gardens with a pool and a terrace where breakfast or dinner can be arranged. The river Merse is just a short drive away for freshwater swimming, and the surrounding hills offer trails for hiking and biking. Golfers will love having Royal Golf La Bagnaia just down the road. For shops and restaurants you’ll need to hop in the car, but that also means day trips to Siena, Florence, or the Chianti are really easy.

About Siena
The sound of hooves clattering along stone paths, flags flying the crests of ancient contrade, and fierce rivalries that date back hundreds of years – visit Siena during Il Palio to experience one of Italy’s most chaotic yet atmospheric traditions.
