Description

Property Summary

Nestled on a hill 350 metres above sea level in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Amandula is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the rich heritage of the surrounding landscape. The name Amandula derives from the ancient local jargon "màndula", meaning almond, a reference to the precious fruit that once dominated this territory and formed a cornerstone of the traditional peasant diet. Built in 2019 according to zero-impact construction principles, the villa celebrates local craftsmanship through the use of handmade terracotta, chestnut beams, and oak parquet, all set within modern, linear, and entirely white interiors where deliberately oversized windows allow natural light to flood every room, transforming it into a living element of the décor. Located within a working farm dedicated to the production of extra virgin olive oil, Amandula enjoys a private and tranquil position overlooking a breathtaking rural landscape of olive groves, vineyards, and dense woodland, with the silhouette of Monte Amiata, an ancient extinct volcano, defining the horizon between the provinces of Grosseto and Siena. The property offers complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, a generous private yard extending across 3,000 square metres of landscaped garden, a stunning outdoor swimming pool, and a dedicated uncovered parking area with space for 3 cars, all contributing to an experience of refined comfort and absolute serenity in one of Italy's most evocative natural settings.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Villa Amandula are as thoughtfully designed as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. The property sits within a sloping 2-hectare park planted with olive trees, oaks, almond trees, and wooded areas, enclosed by large-mesh pasture netting intended primarily to ensure privacy and limit access by unauthorised individuals. The 3,000 square metres of garden immediately surrounding the villa are laid to lawn and dotted with olive trees, lavender, and rosemary, creating a fragrant and visually harmonious setting throughout the seasons. A pergola at the entrance provides a shaded and elegantly equipped outdoor dining area, while a brick barbecue with a convenient integrated sink offers the perfect setting for al fresco cooking. A panoramic, north-facing portico furnished with armchairs and a sofa invites relaxation at any hour of the day, framing views across the valley towards Monte Amiata. The uncovered parking area, accommodating up to 3 vehicles, is located at the end of a gravel driveway, just 5 metres from the main entrance door beneath the pergola. The rectangular swimming pool, non-heated and fenced for safety, occupies a lower terrace approximately 30 metres from the villa and is accessible from the porch and the parking area by crossing the garden and descending stone slabs. Measuring 12 x 5 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, the pool is finished in sand-coloured PVC with a porous terracotta border and is equipped with an angular Roman staircase, underwater illumination, and a solar shower. The surrounding sunbathing area, paved in terracotta and framed by a border of lawn and olive trees, is furnished with sunbeds, umbrellas, and tables. The pool is sanitised with chlorine and remains open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October, offering an unobstructed view of the Amiata profiles and the suggestive sunsets that unfold across the horizon.

Unit Layout

Villa Amandula is distributed across 2 levels connected by an internal staircase crafted in terracotta and masonry, and comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. On the ground floor, the entrance opens from the pergola into a large and luminous open-plan living space that brings together the living area, furnished with a smart TV and overlooking both the swimming pool and the Castello di Velona, the dining area, and a contemporary linear kitchen with direct access to the porch. The ground floor also features a double bedroom with a private exit to the garden and an adjacent bathroom with shower, both of which are fully certified to accommodate guests with disabilities. The first floor, reached via the internal staircase from the living room, houses 2 further double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom with shower and an exclusive panoramic private terrace. One of these terraces overlooks the swimming pool, the olive grove, and the Val d'Orcia, while the other offers views over the charming village of Seggiano. One of the first-floor bedrooms features a wooden mezzanine level used as a dedicated relaxation area, adding an additional dimension of comfort and character to the accommodation.

On this floor, a welcoming living room, a dining area, and a spacious kitchen are thoughtfully arranged in a single open-plan space, creating a convivial heart to the home.

Distances and Attractions

Buca delle Fate enjoys a privileged position in the Valdarno area of Tuscany, situated between the Pratomagno ridge and the nearby Chianti region, and positioned approximately halfway between Florence and Arezzo. The property is located just a few kilometers from the Autostrada del Sole, making it easily accessible from major Italian cities and international airports.

The surrounding landscape is one of the most evocative in the valley, distinguished by the presence of the so-called crags, dramatic rocky erosions formed following the drying up of a large ancient lake that once covered the Arno valley, and which many believe to be portrayed in the backgrounds of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. These formations offer enchanting scenery particularly at sunset, when shadows play across the steep walls and furrows of the terrain.

The property is accessed via the Setteponti road, the ancient route linking Arezzo and Vallombrosa, along which numerous CAI hiking and mountain biking routes depart, allowing guests to explore the entire area of the crags on foot or by bike.

Property Summary

Nestled in the serene Val di Chiana between Siena and Arezzo, Albachiara is an exceptional vacation rental that places you just minutes from the enchanting hilltop town of Cortona, one of the oldest Etruscan settlements in Tuscany, rising 600 metres above sea level in the heart of Italy. This beautifully restored stone farmhouse, originally a farm shed belonging to the adjacent Leopoldine villa, has been completely renovated with meticulous attention to conservation and the careful salvage of all original materials. The result is a refined and welcoming country house where natural tones echo the colours of the surrounding earth, and simply yet elegantly furnished rooms create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The property sits on approximately 1 hectare of fully fenced grounds, offering guests complete privacy amid fields of sunflowers and sweeping views over Cortona. A lush, well-tended garden frames the outdoor living areas, while a non-heated swimming pool provides a refreshing centrepiece to the estate during the warmer months. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, and a dedicated parking area ensures convenient arrival and departure. The expansive yard, rich with flowering plants, fruit trees, and fragrant herbs, completes an outdoor environment of rare natural beauty and tranquillity.

Outdoors

The grounds of Albachiara are a celebration of the Tuscan countryside at its most generous and picturesque. The entire property is enclosed within a double border of leylandii hedging along the full perimeter, and from the entrance gate, a driveway lined with cypress trees and bushes of lavender and rosemary leads gracefully to the parking area and into the heart of the park. A large grassy expanse houses a rich and varied orchard featuring plums, cherries, peaches, and grapevines, while holm oaks, lime and lemon trees alternate with aromatic herb bushes and climbing roses throughout the garden. On one side of the house, embellished with camellias, rhododendrons, and hydrangeas, a wooden gazebo has been set up as a comfortable sitting area with a table and chairs. Close by, directly in front of the dining room French window, a wood oven and mobile barbecue invite al fresco cooking and leisurely outdoor dining. At the centre of the garden, framed by 2 majestic weeping willows edged with white roses, a large wooden portico structure draped in porcelain vine and furnished with a table and benches provides the ideal shaded outdoor living area. A wooden structure beneath the portico, accessible from the outside, houses the laundry room. The non-heated swimming pool, reserved exclusively for the use of guests, is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Located in a central area of the park approximately 40 metres from the house and reached by 4 stone steps, the rectangular pool features a stone border, PVC lining, and Roman steps for water access.

A large umbrella and an iron gazebo covered with climbing roses, arranged as a small lounge with 4 armchairs and a coffee table, complete the pool area. Lighting is provided both inside the pool and throughout the surrounding grounds. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colours of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

Property Summary

Nestled atop a sun-drenched hill in the heart of Tuscany, Monterzi is a beautifully restored farmhouse that offers an extraordinary vacation rental experience in one of Italy's most evocative landscapes. Located within easy reach of the charming medieval borgo of Trequanda and surrounded by the rolling vineyards and olive groves that define the Sienese countryside, this property was born from the careful and respectful renovation of an ancient ruin, once used as stables. The stone turret that formed the original structure has been thoughtfully expanded and refurbished in keeping with the authentic Tuscan architectural tradition, resulting in an interior that is both comfortable and full of character. The estate extends across approximately 2 hectares, offering guests a sense of privacy and immersion in nature that is truly rare. A private yard envelops the property, providing ample space to wander and unwind amid a rich variety of native trees and Mediterranean vegetation. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay, while private parking is provided on-site for added convenience.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Monterzi are nothing short of spectacular, defined by the extraordinary 360-degree panorama that unfolds from the hilltop on which the house stands. Directly in front of the property, the picturesque village of Montisi comes into view, while turning westward reveals the magical lunar landscape of the Crete Senesi. To the east, the gaze travels across Radicofani and the ever-changing geometry of the Val d'Orcia, all the way to Montalcino beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Amiata. The estate's grounds are laced with pleasant walking paths shaded by a rich variety of native shrubs and tall trees, including maples, holm oaks, chestnuts, old oaks, lindens, and fruit trees such as fig, cherry, pear, and peach. A panoramic portico, furnished with a table and chairs, provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining with sweeping views, while a brickwork barbecue located just a few steps away invites guests to enjoy leisurely outdoor meals in true Tuscan style. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, so the appearance of flowering plants and garden grass may vary depending on the season of your visit. The non-heated swimming pool is situated approximately 15 metres from the house, on a slightly lower level, and is enclosed by a wooden and net fence with a gate for safety. South-facing and positioned to take full advantage of the panoramic views over the Val d'Orcia, the rectangular pool measures 4 x 8 metres with a constant depth of 1.10 metres.

Property Summary

Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, La Capannina is a charming stone cottage situated just below the historic town of Cortona, in Italy. This intimate vacation rental has been lovingly transformed from a former barn and stable into a refined and welcoming retreat, combining rustic character with thoughtful modern comforts. The property sits in a beautiful panoramic residential area overlooking Cortona, offering guests sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The grounds extend across approximately 7,500 square meters, with a fully fenced garden of around 2,500 square meters providing a sense of seclusion and tranquility. A private swimming pool, lush yard, complimentary Wi-Fi, and on-site parking complete the picture of a well-appointed countryside escape. The owners reside approximately 15 metres away, ensuring a helpful point of reference while fully respecting your privacy throughout your stay.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of La Capannina are a true highlight of the property, inviting you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside. Just past the entrance gate, a shady pine wood welcomes you, while tall cypress, mulberry, and olive trees — characteristic of the local landscape — fill the garden, which is further enriched by a diverse selection of aromatic herbs and colourful, fragrant flowers. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, so the appearance of the garden, including the flowering plants and the colour of the lawn, may vary depending on the season of your visit.

Directly outside the kitchen's French window, a spacious veranda serves as the heart of outdoor living, featuring a comfortable seating area, a dining space, and a traditional brickwork barbecue where you can enjoy alfresco meals while taking in the panoramic views. A small private sitting area with 2 chairs and a table is also accessible directly from the ground floor bedroom via a French door.

The non-heated swimming pool is positioned in the inner section of the garden, fenced on 2 sides by a chain-link fence and a laurel hedge. Reached by stone steps from the house and veranda, it sits on a slightly elevated level just 2 metres away. The pool measures 7 x 3 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, is lined with mosaic tiles, and features an internal ladder for easy water access. The purification system is chlorine-based, and the pool is illuminated both inside and outside. Surrounding the pool, a generous 150-square-metre solarium area features sandstone paving and a lawn section, and is equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs, an umbrella, and an iron gazebo with a seating area — the ideal setting for relaxing on sunny days with the town of Cortona as your backdrop. A solar outdoor shower is also available at the poolside. The pool is open from the first Saturday of April to the last Saturday of October.
