A beautiful and sophisticated experience
There are so many places and things to visit, see, eat and buy in Tuscany to get a taste of the region’s rich cultural heritage. Yet another way would be to sample the life of a country grandee in a luxurious villa, on an estate dating back 800 years. This luxury villa is set on a vast estate with superb amenities and within the lushly beautiful heart of Tuscany, Val d’Orcia. This standout luxury villa is one of 9 newly restored luxury villas – each arranged to ensure the maximum of privacy and seclusion – discretely hidden among rustic olive groves, fruit orchards and sprawling Sangiovese vineyards. With appealing inviting traditional décor evoking traditional Tuscan style, the villa is also furnished and equipped for modern, cosmopolitan living with the best state-of-the-art home entertainment and communications technology. Bathrooms have separate showers and water closets within, and well-equipped designer kitchen. Inside throughout are elements of fine local craftsmanship, luxury appointments and fabrics of elegant natural fibers, while outside you can bask in sunshine and serenity. A beautiful landscaped garden with lawn frames a large swimming pool, while the pergola-covered terrace provides a garden lookout on to beautiful countryside. There’s also an annex to the main house, which has a kitchenette, shower and dressing rooms, and a chill-out area providing another lovely spot for enjoying the surroundings and the open-air. When you need something more active, you can take a nature hike and roam the glorious countryside, or do so on horseback. You will also have opportunity to indulge in considerable leisure amenities at hand, which include access to a Techno Gym equipped fitness room with the most amazing view over the valley and hills, hiking and biking on marked trails, access to Kids Club and selected kids activities, use of sauna and steam bath, bocce bowl court. Through concierge arrangement it may even be possible to get access to the nearby private 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf.
Located to the north of the estate and set over 2 floors, this is a luxury villa that sleeps up to 10 guests in 5 comfortable bedrooms en suite. Constructed in solid stone, this villa is particularly appealing for its vaulted wood beams ceilings. Appointed with luxurious fabrics to evoke traditional Tuscan charm, the interior of the villa is spacious and convivially arranged. The main living areas are a procession of spaces – TV, living room, dining room and kitchen – all connecting yet each separated by an archway. There is a warm ambience to the spacious living room, with cosy sofas and authentic Tuscan fireplace perfect for cooler autumnal days, yet it is bright and airy in the summer months. You can submerge yourself into a relaxing peacefulness, both indoor and out, where the joy of the Tuscan countryside and weather awaits you. Al fresco life at the villa is equally appealing: as you laze in beautiful sunshine on comfy loungers on the lawn, take cooling dips in the pool, indulge in leisurely meals al fresco. Kids will especially find the villa’s large and enclosing garden a lovely playground.
You will relish and appreciate how truly beautiful this luxury villa is when you stay here. It is perfectly suited for a large family and group of close friends who wish to have a fabulously restful Tuscan holiday. However, if you feel the need to venture away from the villa now and again, the delightful estate awaits discovery as does its “Borgo”. Here you can book five-star treatment and pampering in the spa, enjoy the view from the panoramic bar, or dine away from home at either of two restaurants, and indulge in wine tasting at the winery; the fifth largest producer of Tuscany’s iconic red wine, Brunello di Montalcino.
