Description Artistic Retreat: Castiglione d'Orcia

Old collides with new at this secluded villa in the middle of the south Tuscan hills. Days can be spent hopping between the vineyards of the Val d’Orcia or day-tipping to the UNESCO village of Castiglione d'Orcia, a short drive away. This Tuscan farmhouse is surrounded by forest-clad hills, creating a beautiful view from the myriad terraces and patios where you can dine and recline. A private pool awaits for hot days and there’s a barbecue with a view. Oodles of space inside allows big groups to spread out – across the cosy farmhouse living room, the family snug and a vast chill-out room with a teepee and boho-style lounge areas.
