Villa It5257

Description

Since the late 15th century, the villa has been a part of the landscape; over the ages, an estate has been built around the home, making the vast, terraced gardens a world-famous tourist attraction.

The property is a spectacular oasis of tranquilly nestled among undulating hills and valleys between the towns of Pienza and Montepulciano. It's a quiet haven for taking in the panoramic views and tranquil ambience of the Val d'Orcia.

The villa offers utmost comfort and maximum enjoyment, with 12 ensuite bedrooms spread across three levels of magnificent self-contained accommodation. Each elegantly equipped bedroom has a quiet view of the gardens and beyond.

Every detail exudes elegant Tuscan elegance and majesty. This place has everything from the frescoed walls and ceilings to the magnificent antique furniture and a succession of show-stopping areas.

The balconied dining hall commands a particularly commanding presence. Dinner is served in gentle light against a backdrop of breathtaking paintings, with flames dancing in the vast fireplace creating the tone.

There are several living areas to relax and socialise in for less formal occasions. And the cosy library welcomes you to settle down and lose yourself in a book as you relax.

Gather for pre-meal beverages in the music room, and let nights spill into a tucked-away area of the green grounds. These gardens span four hectares and have spaces for every event. Weddings and other celebrations are exceptionally romantic, with even swimming in the pool and dining al fresco feeling like experiences in and of themselves.

And on the outside of the gardens sits the Val d'Orcia UNESCO World Heritage Site in all its splendour. Long hikes through woods, hills, and valleys begin as soon as you leave the villa grounds. There are wineries, gorgeous churches, and quaint, peaceful villages to explore in the area.

Chianciano Terme, a famous thermal bath town, is only a 10-minute drive away. Its sophisticated spas, swimming pools, and intriguing Archaeological Etruscan Museum provide healing waters.

Other mediaeval wonders, including Pienza, Monticchiello, Montepulciano, and Montalcino, are all reasonably accessible. Montalcino and Montepulciano are famous for their wine, which you may try at picturesque wineries.
