Elegant villa: 5 dble beds/baths with optional farmhouse annex: 5 beds/4 baths

Set in 25 hectares of olive terraces, gardens and woods and with a freshwater spring, this 16th Century villa's views are exceptional, even by Italian standards. It is a villa of rare charm and serenity with its own swimming pool, games room and cinema room. The villa sleeps 10 guests in 5 double bedroom suites. The garden suite in the adjacent farmhouse offers an extra double bedroom and bathroom. Families with children are welcome. The villa has been restored with integrity and authenticity and throughout there is relaxed refinement. Air conditioning is provided in the villa bedrooms and the ancient thick walls ensure a cool interior even in the height of summer. A terra-cotta-tiled terrace, lined with lemon trees, leads onto a shaded pergola with a large travertine table and dining chairs. In summer this is, in effect, an outdoor living and dining room. A charcoal barbecue makes outdoor cooking simple, and there is a wood-burning, traditional pizza oven. An evening of pizza-making is great fun for all ages. The swimming pool, with a shallow end for the little ones, is set just below the villa on a separate, deep terrace. Sheltered and with all-day sun, it has sweeping views of the valley. A second pergola and other seating areas provide shade and repose for those who prefer alternative garden views. Indoors there is a games room with pool/billiards/snooker, pro table football and darts. The sitting room is also a cinema room with a projector, drop down screen and surround sound. Great walking, cycling and visits to local places of interest. Cook service, on site masseuse, yoga classes, winery tours, local tour guide all available on request.

Best VRBO yet

This VRBO was an incredible find for our large family. First, Ben and Nicole are truly special hosts. Their hospitality was top notch. They stopped by and we had a great time talking to them, they shared some of their amazing limoncello with us. Grandpa almost finished the whole bottle it was so good (yikes). We loved the feel of the house, it’s definitely a Tuscan Villa but with all the comforts and updates. The kitchen is very well equipped and the outdoors are so beautiful with flowers and views that you could look at all day. We wanted to spend most of our time sitting outside. Our girls enjoyed their plunge in the pool and the cherries that grew on a nearby tree. Truly magical stay!
