Set among a flower-filled garden, this stunning countryside villa promises you an all-indulgent holiday. Inside, chic mod cons, stylish vintage furniture, hand-crafted antiques and classic artworks combine to create a home as glamorous as any palazzo. Plush bedrooms promise all guests much-deserved pampering me time, yet you can easily reconvene for fun-filled moments and grand convivial meals in the opulent lounges. Even remote working is sorted out with an elegant study featuring a well-stocked library and a comfortable desk. Picture long lazy days outside in the rose-scented garden under the shades of the rustling oaks. Pick fresh ingredients from the vegetable and herb patch and enjoy whipping up elaborate pasta dishes in the modern kitchen. Should you feel so inclined, your hosts can even arrange cooking classes to introduce you to the rich traditions of the local cuisine. In the afternoons, relax in the hot tub or take a dive into the pool. In the evenings, bake pizzas in the wood-fired oven and savour languorous dinners on the covered veranda. Open countryside, medieval castles and tiny hamlets await you within a short drive, while in twenty minutes you can reach all the delights and cultrual attractions of Sienna.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways.
