Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the breathtaking scenery of the Sienese countryside, Villa Il Foramasso is an exceptional vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless elegance of Tuscany at its finest. Located just a few kilometres from the medieval borgo of Casole d'Elsa, in Italy, this prestigious residence commands sweeping panoramic views across the hills of Chianti, extending to the silhouettes of San Gimignano and Monteriggioni. The villa takes its name from a majestic bush that greets you at the entrance and forms part of an imposing complex originally dating from 1900, which has been carefully enlarged and fully renovated while preserving the authentic charm of traditional Tuscan country architecture. Natural handmade terracotta, chestnut beams and joists, travertine marble, and finely crafted wooden doors and windows speak to the heritage and craftsmanship of this remarkable property, which is furnished throughout with antique and handcrafted pieces. The villa is surrounded by a lush yard of approximately 2,000 sq m of lawn, dotted with Mediterranean plants, aromatic herb bushes, and seasonal flowers, all set within a private estate of 14 hectares. A dedicated parking area is conveniently located close to the main entrance, accessible via a driveway that crosses the expansive park. High-speed Internet Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring you remain connected during your stay should you wish to be.

Outdoors

The park surrounding Villa Il Foramasso extends over a predominantly flat area of approximately 5,000 sq m within the broader 14-hectare estate, offering a serene and private outdoor environment with beautiful panoramic views on all sides. A terrace has been thoughtfully arranged as a relaxation area, while a furnished portico at the exit of the living room provides a welcoming space with sofas and a table for outdoor dining. The garden is planted primarily with lawn and enriched with numerous species of Mediterranean plants, herb bushes, and a variety of flowers. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival. A large, exclusive swimming pool area is set in a panoramic position within the park, reached along a drive of approximately 70 m bordered by hedges. The rectangular non-heated swimming pool measures 7 x 17 m, with a depth varying from 1.40 to 1.80 m.
