This villa captures the rustic charm of old Italy. Surrounded by 40 hectares of land boasting olive groves, vineyards, orchards, and meadows with grazing horses, it’s an idyllic escape into the Tuscan countryside. A country road leads to the UNESCO hamlet of Castiglione d'Orcia. The garden is home to a rustic outdoor cooking station, a large, shaded table, and a full outdoor lounge. There’s a touch of modernity to the private, heated pool and you’ll find a sauna hidden amid the trees. The main villa is split across two levels and is a vision of old-world Italy and there is a separate annexe with further bedrooms, a second full kitchen and an open-plan living room.

Host
This home is managed by WP
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Pietro and Gaia are a delight - he’s a painter and responsible for a lot of the art on display, and she’s done all manner of things work-wise, and is a qualified architect and tailor. They own a handful of homes across Italy that they rent out and so are extremely experienced hosts. Though it might not always be them checking you in - they often use a lockbox system - they are always available via phone for their guests if they have any questions, great or small.
