Formerly a 16th century convent, this enchanting villa is bursting with character and has been renovated with every comfort and enjoyment in mind. Step into the cool stone entrance hall and you will instantly note the attention to detail. There are two distinctive reception rooms, decorated with a curated selection of original furniture, paired with custom creations from local artisans and designer touches. The kitchen is fully stocked with high spec appliances, and the dining room is the perfect place for breakfast, with views of the rolling green olive groves out of the window. Outside, there are plenty of spots to relax in the sun and the shade, and there is no better way to start the day than plunging into the sparkling pool. There is also an indoor hydro massage pool to relax and unwind in after a day's activities. At sunset, gather everyone for an aperitivo under the pergola, whether it’s a negroni or a bottle of red from neighbouring Montepulciano, and fire up the barbecue for an al fresco dinner. There is a vegetable garden you are welcome to pick from. If you don’t fancy cooking, a private chef can be arranged to whip up Italian delicacies. The villa is on the outskirts of Sarteano, a tiny town with picturesque stone streets, a Mediaeval castle, and some excellent Tuscan restaurants.
