Description Rusticana Retreat: Castiglione d'Orcia

This villa captures the rustic charm of old Italy. Surrounded by 40 hectares of land boasting olive groves, vineyards, orchards, and meadows with grazing horses, it’s an idyllic escape into the Tuscan countryside. A country road leads to the UNESCO hamlet of Castiglione d'Orcia. The garden is home to a rustic outdoor cooking station, a large, shaded table, and a full outdoor lounge. There’s a touch of modernity to the private, heated pool and you’ll find a sauna hidden amid the trees. The main villa is split across two levels and is a vision of old-world Italy and there is a separate annexe with further bedrooms, a second full kitchen and an open-plan living room.
