Property Summary
Nestled just 3 kilometers from the historic center of Siena, in the heart of Italy's most celebrated landscape, this extraordinary vacation rental offers an unparalleled experience of Tuscan luxury and tranquility. Set on a panoramic hill and surrounded by rolling terrain dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and cultivated fields, the property commands breathtaking views stretching as far as Monte Amiata and the iconic Torre del Mangia. At the heart of the estate stands a farmhouse of ancient origins, masterfully transformed into a refined luxury residence where exposed stone, natural wood, and contemporary materials create an elegant dialogue between historic tradition and minimalist design. Large, light-filled interior spaces, rooms with private bathrooms, and carefully curated furnishings ensure the highest level of comfort throughout. The property is equipped with fast Wi-Fi connectivity, making it as functional as it is beautiful, while a generous private parking area located at the end of the internal avenue ensures effortless arrivals and departures. The estate is enclosed within a beautifully maintained park of approximately 1,500 square meters, complete with manicured lawns, aromatic hedgerows, and scenic walkways, offering guests an immersive natural retreat with every modern convenience at hand. An automatic access gate provides security and privacy, completing the sense of an exclusive and self-contained sanctuary just moments from one of Italy's most celebrated cities.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of this remarkable estate are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and recreational abundance. The park surrounding the farmhouse has been crafted by expert hands, featuring sinuous pathways lined with aromatic bushes of lavender, rosemary, myrtle, and sage, interspersed with young olive and cypress trees and broad expanses of manicured lawn. Two panoramic gazebos, positioned on either side of the house, provide shaded retreats with sweeping views, while a charming seating area at the entrance to the solarium invites quiet relaxation. Families with children will appreciate the dedicated play area, and a ping pong table adds a playful touch to the outdoor experience. A wood-burning oven and a fully equipped barbecue area complete the alfresco entertaining options, making outdoor dining a true pleasure. The pool area represents the crown jewel of the outdoor spaces: a spectacular natural terrace embraced by olive trees and the estate's own vineyards, extending across horizons crowned by the silhouettes of Monte Amiata and the Torre del Mangia. At its center lies a stunning infinity pool, oriented to face south and perfectly positioned for enjoying sunsets and evening swims, when a sophisticated lighting system inside and outside the pool creates a truly magical atmosphere. The pool measures 5 x 15 meters, with a depth ranging from 1.20 to 1.40 meters, and features a submerged entry ramp for easy access. Its border of travertine slabs and innovative PVC lining, inspired by the natural element of marble, give it a unique and iridescent character that shifts beautifully with the natural light. A cold and hot water shower is available on-site, and the pool is maintained with a chlorine purification system. Comfortable sun loungers and seating areas shaded by large umbrellas surround the solarium, which is further enhanced by a dining area with a large table, a sink, and a barbecue. The pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April through the first Saturday in October. The entire estate spans thirty hectares of land, where olive groves, a vineyard, and woodland alternate across the landscape, with approximately 12 hectares fenced with electrowelded mesh reaching 1.80 meters in height, largely accessible on foot and well suited for outdoor sports and walks.

The property accommodates up to 16 guests across 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, distributed between 2 distinct structures: the main farmhouse and a separate annex located just a few meters away, near the pool area. The farmhouse itself is divided into 2 independent residential units, each with its own separate entrance and no internal connection between them.

On the ground floor of this unit, there is a double bedroom with a private bathroom with shower. An elegant staircase of glass and iron leads to the upper level, where 3 double bedrooms are each appointed with their own private bathroom with shower. Both residential units are equipped with a dedicated laundry room. The annex offers a different dimension of the property, centered around a large, versatile room accessed through 2 wide portals, designed to host events, conferences, and business meetings, and served by a service bathroom. A few steps from this space leads to a kitchen equipped with a central island. On the lower floor of the annex, accessible either from the pool area via a staircase or from the farmhouse through the garden, guests will find the wellness area, which houses a heated hot tub, a sauna, and a bathroom with shower.
Amenities Included
The property has been thoughtfully equipped to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay for all guests. Air conditioning is installed throughout all rooms, guaranteeing a pleasant indoor climate regardless of the season, while heating is also available for cooler periods. The laundry facilities in both residential units include a washing machine, allowing guests to manage their clothing needs with ease during extended stays. In the kitchen areas, a dishwasher is provided, streamlining the cleanup process after meals and allowing more time to enjoy the surroundings. Entertainment is well catered for with satellite TV available within the property, offering a wide selection of channels for relaxing evenings indoors. The estate also welcomes pets, making it an ideal choice for guests who prefer not to leave their animal companions behind. Wireless Internet connection is included throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected at all times. The weekly rental price also covers a comprehensive range of services, including utilities such as water and gas for kitchen use, weekly linen, initial and final cleaning for stays of a minimum of 7 nights, and a midweek internal reorganization service every Wednesday that includes bathroom cleaning, tidying of bedrooms and kitchen, and a change of bath towels. Park and pool maintenance is also included. Additionally, the property operates under the Zer0Dep Guarantee, meaning guests are not required to pay a security deposit either on balance or upon arrival, and benefit from EuropAssistance coverage in the event of accidental damage caused to the property during their stay, up to a ceiling of 1,500.00 euros and subject to the applicable restrictions. The property has undergone a check-up carried out by a technical manager to guarantee the correspondence of the description, the accessories listed, and their state of operation and maintenance.
Other Information

Starting from 2026, the first floor of the villa, accessible via an independent entrance, will be occupied by the owners, a young couple who are generally absent for work reasons but remain available should any need arise. Guests will share only the driveway and parking area with the owners, while the park and pool remain for the exclusive use of guests at all times. It is worth noting that the photo shoots of the property are typically carried out in spring, and therefore the colors and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and park may appear different upon arrival depending on the season. Pets are welcome at the property, with an additional mandatory cleaning fee applicable per animal per day of stay. Children under 12 years of age are exempt from the tourism tax. The minimum stay required to benefit from the full range of included services, including the midweek reorganization, is 7 nights.
