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.
