Villa Privata, Pienza - Siena and Chianti

8 bedrooms 9 bathrooms 14 guests Private Pool 0 - no reviews - no reviews 0

Deep in the south of Tuscany, snuggled in the gentle folds of the Val d’Orcia, this cluster of buildings crafted from stone is a luxurious hideaway with acres of space for children to play in. Its name gives a clue to the atmosphere of this villa, which is set in on a hill more than a mile from the main road. This is a place where you won't be overlooked by neighbours and the silence will be broken only by the natural sounds of the breeze in the trees by day or the hoot of an owl by night.

Yet from this vantage point, there is so much to see. Stride out or use pedal power to explore the glorious local countryside and pick up essentials in the charming village of San Quirico d’Orcia. The historic streets of nearby Pienza, the hot springs at Bagno Vignoni and the wine towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano might also prove tempting, while the wild shores of Grosseto and the city of Siena also beg exploring.

This villa has the wow factor with its dramatic indoor-outdoor lap pool. It's a scene straight out of the pages of a glossy magazine – a long strip of cool blue water that starts within the house. And the panorama of rolling hills, seen from the sunloungers set on the lawn at the pool’s edge, will make your heart sigh.

Inside, the villa is just as eye-catching, a tasteful restoration of a building where artisans would have laboured, pressed olives and sheltered oxen. The fabric is solidly Tuscan – terracotta tiles on the floors and wood-beamed ceilings and generous hearths. While brick-edged arches in the main living spaces flood in the light from the sun, which orbits the villa throughout the day.

The interiors are spacious yet warm and homely, with lots of living areas and cosy bedrooms, one of which has its own terrace. It's a top-quality restoration project – original fixtures and features have been polished up, classic furnishings provided for comfortable places to lounge, dine and sleep, and a touch of soul added with splashes of bold colour on the walls and in the patterns on plush rugs and hand-painted tiles.
