Grand rustic style with views
For many of us who dream of Tuscany, its rich heritage and countryside, a classic image is one of lush rolling hills. The magnificent Val d’Orcia Natural Park has all this and more; an 800-year old country estate of 9 refurbished luxury villas hidden among rustic olive groves, fruit orchards and sprawling vineyards. This beautiful luxury villa, originally an oil press, now provides the utmost in luxurious comfort and ambience. You will feel welcome and right at home by an inviting décor: rich with traditional furnishing and appointments, yet catering also for modern cosmopolitan needs with the provision of state-of-the-art kitchen, home entertainment and communications technology. We particularly liked the lovely charm and elegance of the villa, its restored and original detailing and the luxurious touches, which include a leather-bound box of board games. Situated in a secluded position at a high point on the estate, the villa is above the central “Borgo”, where you can enjoy indulgence in 5-star amenities. There’s a spa and gym, panoramic bar, restaurants acclaimed and culinary academy, where you can learn authentic Tuscan cuisine, and also a winery. Go there to taste the region’s iconic red wine, Brunello di Montalcino. Open-air leisure activities are plenty and include hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, bocce and tennis. It may also be possible for villa guests to have access to hot-air ballooning and the nearby private golf course specially designed by Tom Weiskopf.
Set over two levels, this luxury villa comfortably sleeps 6 people in 3 bedrooms en suite; each generously spacious, with bathrooms containing separate walk-in showers and water closets. The bright, airy spacious living areas and chic bedrooms have white wood ceiling beams and original detailing retained to create a classic ambience of grand Tuscan country life. The outdoor area around the villa is disproportionate in size to the interiors and, as such, is designed as an extension of indoors. Subsequently there is a magnificent 180° terrace arranged to offer fabulous views and which, has a pergola-covered chill-out/dining area. Below this the fabulously sited swimming pool and adjacent lawn continue the exterior’s celebration of the open air. You, your family and friends can relax and celebrate too in this picturesque setting with stunning outlook.
This is a luxury villa that blends traditional rustic Tuscan flair with the comforts of the modern age, and is a most suitable home for a family or small group of friends. In such an irresistible setting, you may feel the need to share the experience with extended family or more friends. There is a ‘sister’ villa available to rent simultaneously. Though adjacent, neither villa overlooks the other and each offer equal privacy and similarly beautiful views.
