Description The Hilltop Sanctuary: Pienza

Stop scrolling and pack your bags if you’re seeking an unforgettable retreat to rural Tuscany. Here, you’ll be surrounded by the rolling hills of Montepulciano, three hectares of sprawling gardens, an orchard and a vegetable plot. With eight bedrooms, all of which are en-suite, this is a perfect spot for a large family getaway. Outside, soak up the Tuscan sun by the pool, or enjoy an alfresco meal prepared with your produce pickings on the covered terrace. And after a day exploring the local vineyards, you can sink into the Jacuzzi tub under the stars.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's parking here.
*Though this home is spread over three floors and may not suit those with limited mobility, there is a ground-floor bedroom and en-suite.
*One of the twin bedrooms has an independent entrance and en-suite bathroom – perfect for guests seeking extra privacy. Another staircase takes you to the loft bedroom that can sleep five with two single beds, one double bed plus a single sofa bed.
*The solar-panelled pool isn't fenced, so you'll need to supervise little ones at all times.
