A contemporary villa with real style, Villa Ombrone is a discerning choice if you’re heading to the coastal side of Tuscany. And it commands the most glorious views of this slice of southern Tuscany, overlooking a swathe of pastureland that rolls towards the distant hills. There’s much to explore out there, including the ancient town of Grosseto and the wild beaches of the coast, the vineyards around Montalcino, the hot springs at Terme di Saturnia and five golf courses close to the villa (Il Pelagone, Argentario, Punta Ala, Saturnia and La Bagnaia).
But you could be forgiven for just relaxing at this smart, modern, two-storey villa. Take it all in from the sitting area on the large patio at ground level (there’s a fun ping-pong table here, too). Or climb the stairs to the upper floor, where the balcony along the front of the house opens out onto a huge terrace at one side. It’s a space large enough to host a big oval swimming pool, sun terrace and lawn, as well as sitting areas, some shaded by the eaves, 10 x 4 m bowling green (Bocciodromo), plus a barbecue and bar. And, if you’re visiting in season, embrace the country life and eat the fruits of the villa's own vegetable garden and orchard.
Step inside to discover a sleek kitchen with a glass dining table. Off the kitchen sits a small study and the three main bedrooms. They’re all generous doubles that can be converted into twins, each with its own en-suite shower room.
Just like the sunny and modern aspect of the exterior with its cream walls and sky-blue shutters, eco-friendly with solar panels, heat pumps and two electric car-charging points, the open-plan interiors feel bright and modern, aided by multiple patio doors and eye-catching contemporary furnishings and pieces of art that add colour and interest.
Take the steps down to the ground floor, where a large open lounge has been set with a sofa and two armchairs, a cool, convivial place to relax. There’s the bonus of a gym, with its own sauna and shower room, on this level. So you can even keep up your fitness without taking your eyes off those beautiful views.
