Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Sandwiched between Siena and Arezzo, this villa is ideally suited to large get-togethers. It consists of three cosy apartments, split between a stone villa (one on each floor) and a cottage. Safe to say, you'll have more than enough space here to spread out – plus plenty of spots to retreat to when you need a little quiet. We love the uninterrupted views across the rolling hills and fields. They're the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining or swimming in the private pool. With archery, table tennis, and a swing set for little ones, dull moments will be few and far between.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Val di Chiani

Situated in the southeast of Tuscany, stretching all the way from Arezzo to the province of Orvieto in Umbria, Val di Chiani is a patchwork of olive groves, grassy plains and thick forests. Ochre villages and towns fleck the landscape – Montepulciano is a particular favourite, famed for its Vino Nobile wine that pairs perfectly with a plate of Tuscan wild boar pasta. Dig deep and follow the winding corso...
