This gorgeous house is nestled within the medieval hilltop village of Castelmuzio. The vibrant garden features cypress, fig, pomegranate and local flowers, with its own plunge pool and spaces for sunbathing and alfresco dining. There are three main suites, plus a single bedroom that shares an entrance and en-suite with one of the double rooms, making it ideal for families. It's a twenty-minute drive to the autostrada A1, and we do recommend hiring a car here if you're hoping to take a trip to the cities of Siena or Florence.
