Property Summary
Nestled among the rolling hills of the southern province of Siena, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Casale Rasa is an extraordinary vacation rental that combines centuries of history with the comforts of a refined and welcoming residence. Originally built as a farmhouse in 1847 and thoughtfully restored over the years using local materials in full respect of the traditional Tuscan architectural style, this magnificent property sits within a lush garden of approximately 5,000 square metres and offers an unparalleled panoramic experience. From its elevated position, the view stretches from Montalcino across the valleys of the Orcia and the evocative Crete Senesi all the way to the skyline of Siena, creating a living landscape of extraordinary beauty. The property is located approximately 4 km from the charming historical village of Buonconvento and just half an hour from the artistic wonders of the city of Siena, placing you at the very heart of one of Italy's most celebrated regions. Casale Rasa features a spectacular private swimming pool set in a panoramic position, a generous yard filled with Mediterranean vegetation, reliable Internet Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, and a conveniently accessible parking area just a few steps from the main entrance, ensuring every aspect of your stay is both comfortable and effortless.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casale Rasa are as generous as they are beautiful, offering a seamless extension of the interior living experience into the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The paved patio that extends directly from the kitchen is adorned with climbing jasmine and furnished with a dining table sheltered beneath a pergola, complemented by numerous relaxation areas with armchairs and small tables, making it an ideal setting for alfresco meals and leisurely afternoons. A large gazebo positioned between the house and the pool provides a shaded gathering space, while the first-floor veranda, equipped with a large table and a comfortable seating area, frames the sweeping countryside panorama in a truly unforgettable way. A stone barbecue adds a convivial touch to outdoor dining, and the surrounding lawn and paved areas, enhanced by a rich variety of typical Mediterranean plants, flow naturally into the open countryside, creating a sense of continuity with the landscape that stretches to the horizon. The private non-heated swimming pool occupies a prime panoramic position at the centre of a large lawn area, approximately 70 metres from the house and reached via a gentle descent across the grass. Rectangular in shape with a travertine stone border, it measures 12.5 x 4 metres with a depth of 1.50 metres and is equipped with hydro-massage vents. Lined in grey PVC, the pool is accessible via submerged steps on one of its short sides and is purified using a glass wool system with ultra-modern UV lamps for sterilisation combined with a moderate use of chlorine.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Scansano, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Podere Le Caprarecce is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse that offers an exceptional vacation rental experience for up to 8 guests. This remarkable property is the result of a meticulous recovery of a late nineteenth-century agricultural residence, where original materials such as barberino stone walls, antique terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut ceiling beams have been lovingly preserved and integrated with local handicraft products. Set within the celebrated wine area of Morellino di Scansano, the estate is immersed in a landscape of cultivated terrain planted with vines and olive trees, framed by the characteristic hilly morphology of the Maremma. The property extends over 5,000 square metres of fenced grounds, offering generous outdoor spaces including a private swimming pool and a lush yard planted with cypresses, oaks, and fragrant Mediterranean shrubs. Reliable Wi-Fi connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Parking for up to 4 vehicles is available on-site, both along the cypress-lined gravel driveway and in a more secluded area at a lower level. The estate comprises 2 independent buildings, the main farmhouse and a separate annex, providing a harmonious blend of rustic authenticity and modern comfort.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Podere Le Caprarecce are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding Maremma landscape. The fenced property is enclosed by low walls, hedges, and wire mesh with wide openings, making it particularly suitable for medium to large dogs. The area surrounding the two buildings is covered in lawn and planted with cypresses and oaks that provide pleasant shaded areas throughout the day, while oleander, helichrysum, rosemary, and laurel perfume the summer air. In the lower-sloping section of the terrain, olive trees and shrubs typical of the Maremma complete the natural scenery.
Between the farmhouse and the annex, a pergola covered in American vine provides a charming alfresco dining area, furnished with a table and chairs and ideal for outdoor meals in the shade. The lower part of the park also features a ping-pong table and a basketball hoop mounted on the annex wall, offering recreational options for guests of all ages. Beneath the pool level, a storeroom is reserved for private use, housing the pool's technical compartment as well as farm tools and machinery.
The non-heated swimming pool is positioned 20 metres from the farmhouse and at the same level, offering breathtaking views over the Maremma hills and particularly beautiful sunsets. Rectangular in shape and measuring 8 x 4 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.40 to 2.20 metres, the pool is lined in sky-blue PVC and equipped with chlorine purification. Access to the water is via angular Roman steps. The surrounding solarium is finished in decking and non-slip porous stoneware and is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas. Lighting is provided both inside the pool and across the solarium area. The swimming pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
Unit Layout
Podere Le Caprarecce accommodates up to 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed between 2 independent buildings situated 20 metres apart.
The main farmhouse is arranged over 2 floors connected by both internal and external staircases. On the ground floor, the main entrance accessed from the garden on the poolside leads into a dining room featuring a Smart TV, armchairs, and a dining table.

Description
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.

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.

L’Ovile is a typical Tuscan farmhouse whose origins date back to the beginning of the 20th century; it was bought, together with the larger estate Casanova, by the present owners in the 60’s and used as a farm, whose fundamental principle is the protection and respect of nature and the territory. The farmhouse, in a separate position and independent from the farm, and consistent with its spirit and vocation, has been recently restored with reclaimed materials such as the stone which covers the structure or else with new materials made in the old way such as the stone floor or the bricks set above the chestnut beams which cover the ceiling. The recent renovations have further characterized the farmhouse (equipped with solar panels and PV system), conferring to the outside the particular fortress style, a building technique which was used in the Middle Ages. L’Ovile, immersed in the green lung of the Sienese Montagnola, is the ideal place for those wishing to spend a holiday dedicated to eco-tourism where Nature is protagonist, for those wishing to experience the territory composed of dense woods, rich in chestnut groves. In these places, once the more well-known spots are left behind, the traveller finds unexpected and surprising roads that accompany him in his discovery of a sunny Tuscany where the countryside is vast tracts of land that stretch ad infinitum and the gentle hills invite him to be lulled amidst vineyards and olive groves. But it is also a journey into ancient history that starts from the historic centres, true salons of stone, and winds along routes rich in abbeys of Etruscan charm, of towers and ruins, testifying to old disputes and which are today immersed in absolute peace.
Your Emma Villas Customer service is CRISTINA GIANNINI and you can reach her for any emergencies, or further information you may required during your stay. All useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents.
