Amid the rolling hills and verdant countryside of Tuscany, this home delivers rustic Italian charm and idyllic views. Inside, the rooms unfold across three floors in the main house and two floors in the adjoining annexe – providing an abundance of space and a wonderful sense of character. Outside, the garden lends itself perfectly to lazy days by the pool (open seasonally) and long soaks in the heated jacuzzi. You will need a car to get around here, but it's just 6 kilometres to the nearby town of Ambra (don’t miss the weekly market), plus it’s also within easy reach of Siena, Arezzo, and Cortona.

Local guide


About Val di Chiani

Situated in the southeast of Tuscany, stretching all the way from Arezzo to the province of Orvieto in Umbria, Val di Chiani is a patchwork of olive groves, grassy plains and thick forests. Ochre villages and towns fleck the landscape – Montepulciano is a particular favourite, famed for its Vino Nobile wine that pairs perfectly with a plate of Tuscan wild boar pasta.
