Set amidst rolling Tuscan countryside, this villa promises an escape from it all. With a mix of modern and traditional interiors, there’s something to appeal to all tastes here, and plenty of space for up to ten guests to spread out comfortably. Outdoors, the private pool takes centre stage, while sun-worshippers will be delighted with the expanse of terraced areas and garden from which to soak up the rays. For a day out, nearby Siena is well worth a visit for its beautiful buildings, historic sites and abundance of eateries offering a true taste of Italy.

About Siena Province
Step back into medieval Italy with a trip to Siena. The city is famous for its contrade, the maze-like historic districts that haven’t changed a beat in over a hundred years. Join the crowds in July and August when Siena’s famous Palio horserace thunders around the Piazza del Campo, or visit outside of the peak summer months for a calmer experience. Siena, rich in tradition, is also a great spot...
