Step into a piece of history here – once the dwelling of wandering priests a millennium ago, now transformed into holiday homes. Each villa boasts its own terrace, inviting you to savour alfresco meals and unwind with a glass of Chianti overlooking the Tuscan hills. Start your day with a friendly tennis match on the communal courts, and unwind poolside post-match. With no air-conditioning, it may feel a little warm during the summer months, but there are plenty of shaded spots when you need respite. Embark on cultural escapades to Siena, or hike the Dievole Natural Path, winding up at a winery, where you can enjoy a tasting at the cellar's restaurant.

Home truths

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.

    This villa is part of a collection of several cottages. Though you'll have a private terrace, you'll share the gardens, tennis court, and pool with the other guests.

    The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    The single beds can be reconfigured into doubles upon request.

    The pool is for seasonal use from Easter to October. Your host can also provide a cot and high chair upon request.

The sound of hooves clattering along stone paths, flags flying the crests of ancient contrade, and fierce rivalries that date back hundreds of years – visit Siena during Il Palio to experience one of Italy’s most chaotic yet atmospheric traditions.
