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.
