Perched high on a hill and part of a boutique hotel estate, this villa straddles the Tuscan and Umbrian border with an effortless sense of escape. The infinity pool gazes out across forested valleys – an especially arresting place to be as the sun drops. On the ground, hectares of gardens unfold into a rose loggia, a vine-covered alfresco dining area, a tennis court, and a dedicated spot for sundowners. Three semi-independent sections make it well-suited to larger groups – especially those who prefer their Italian homesteads with just the right amount of historic character.
