Traditional character and contemporary touches collide in this Castelmuzio townhome. Built into the ancient city wall, it has a sense of history and grandeur that we can't get enough of. A working fireplace divides the dining area from the kitchen, while cosy bedrooms beckon after a long day – our favourite is the top-floor suite with its clawfoot tub. Outside, a sun-kissed terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. There's also a private plunge pool. As for location, you'll be in the heart of the Val d’Orcia. Florence, Siena, and other Tuscan gems are within driving distance.

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...
