The quintessential Tuscan villa, this hillside four bedroom home looks out over the verdant Val d'Orcia. Ideal for families or friend groups seeking an authentic taste of Italian country life, the house sleeps eight and offers plenty of space for work, rest and play. More active guests can explore the sweeping grounds, play table tennis in the second living area, or cool off in the shared pool. Meanwhile, those seeking tranquillity can settle on a sun lounger, dine out on the terrace, or refine their cooking in the eye-catching wooden kitchen. The historic city of Siena lies 10km away, where the hectic Il Palio horse race turns the streets into a bustling festival twice a summer.
