Nestled high on a hill in the Sienese countryside, this enchanting villa offers the perfect escape from your everyday. Ideal for large groups or families, there's ample room to make memories and enjoy some downtime on your own. Wooden beamed ceilings and typical Tuscan styling come together to create a cosy, homely vibe. You'll love spending your days lounging by the private pool while savouring undulating views of the verdant hillsides. In the late afternoon, potter around the fragrant herb gardens or take an early-evening stroll through the cypress and olive gardens – you've got plenty of space to explore here. Enjoy family dinners in the artisan-style dining room, or gather on the patio for a spot of alfresco dining under the shade of the trees. If you tire of the incredible views here (spoiler – you won't) and decide it's time to explore further afield, the historic Brunello di Montalcino winery is reachable in just over an hour by car. We enjoyed a relaxing day out at Terme di San Casciano dei Bagni – it's only an eleven-minute drive away and is home to ancient thermal waters and modern thermal baths.
