This restored farmhouse is situated on a family-owned estate of rolling hills, organic farmland, vineyards, and olive groves. From its hilltop position, it offers sweeping views of the surroundings and all the way to Montalcino. Buonconvento, one of the prettiest medieval villages in the region, is a short drive away, and Siena is slightly further afield. The outside space includes a private pool with sun loungers and deck chairs, as well as a bocce court and a ping-pong table. Inside, the villa blends traditional features like wooden beams with modern comforts and style. It’s an attractive home-from-home.

Local guide
About Siena Province
Step back into medieval Italy with a trip to Siena. The city is famous for its contrade, the maze-like historic districts that haven’t changed a beat in over a hundred years. Join the crowds in July and August when Siena’s famous Palio horserace thunders around the Piazza del Campo, or visit outside of the peak summer months for a calmer experience. Siena, rich in tradition, is also a great spot...
