A luxury villa newly refurbished and providing comfortable accommodation for eight to enjoy a relaxing retreat in the center of one of the most beautiful private nature reserves in Italy.

San Savino is a XIV century farmhouse and chapel set in the heart of an immaculate nature reserve, affording beautiful views across endless woods, olive trees and green valleys. This used to be the church of the estate, until the ‘70ies the Carabba family and the farmers living on the estate would meet here for Sunday mass, which was followed by a market.

The house was completely restored in 2004 and refreshed in 2016. With immaculate furnishings in warm, rich colors, comfortable furniture, and en suite bedrooms, the villa has all the comforts of a modern home with the services of a 5-star resort.

The villa sleeps up to eight people and has three king bedrooms (one of which can be converted into two twins) and one queen bedroom. The ground floor has a spacious, open-plan living and dining room. The dining table seats up to eight. The sunny kitchen with breakfast table has French windows leading to gardens and outside dining area. A corridor leads to the converted chapel which contains a further magnificent sitting room with TV and other facilities and a king double bedroom with en suite shower room. All the bedrooms have their own individual color schemes and are of a good size with excellent facilities and magnificent views.

There are various outdoor spaces for all times of the day from shaded sitting areas to the panoramic deck next to the pool. There is also hot tub that the guests can use in different seasons of the year.

Highlight: 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, golf clubhouse and restaurant facilities in the same estate at 5 minutes from the villa. All guests staying have discounts on the golf green fees on Golf shop and on golf lessons.

Chiarentana was once a medieval fortress and has been ‘de-gentrified’ over the centuries, becoming one of the main farm buildings on the property.

The 6 apartments are still named after the peasant families who last lived here. The square building surrounds a large, shady courtyard planted with climbing roses, lavender and a deliciously scented lime tree. The arched entrance admits a cool breeze and leads out into the wide landscaped garden with a pool (15×7 m) and a tennis court.

The view from here is spectacular and surveys the entire valley, but your eye will finally settle on the dominating Monte Amiata, Tuscany’s highest mountain. The garden is furnished with tables and chairs for all apartments, each far enough from the other to guarantee each party sufficient privacy.

Just a few steps lead from the courtyard into the light and friendly living room. The windows of both bedrooms look out over the entire valley.

Warm colourings, terracotta floor tiles and open fireplaces are part of the Tuscan lifestyle.

Fonte, the last apartment to be restored by the owner of Chiarentana, is comparable in charm and size to Casa di Bersagliere. It is reached over an exterior staircase. The owner’s aim has as ever been to create a warm and welcoming interior, which affords all the comfort we are accustomed to today.

The rooms with beamed ceilings and terracotta flooring are well sized and open onto the most exciting views of the valley, looking out over the garden and the Val d’Orcia on one side and the Mount Amiata on the other. The walls have been washed in a light terracotta glaze, creating a light and friendly atmosphere.

The decoration of Fonte is an eclectic mixture of family antiques, furniture made by the local carpenter and modern paintings made by the artist Seboo Migone, who is a son of the owner. In his work he was often inspired by the nature surrounding La Foce.

This apartment is an unusual place. Upon entering the house from the courtyard you will be stunned by the large and beautifully decorated living room, which has 3 windows looking out over the valley. The sofa and armchairs are grouped around a grand fireplace, whereas the antique dining table stands at the other end of the main room. A lovely old refectory table serves as a sideboard. Large modern paintings by the son of the owner complete the eclectic decor. The kitchen has a traditional look, but the technical equipment is up to most modern standards.

Sassaia sits on the slopes of the famous Orcia valley and is surrounded by magnificent evergreen oak trees typical of Tuscany. Beyond are open fields and views across the valley to the Radicofani fortress on the far-away blue hill.

On the ground floor what used to be the cows’ barn has been converted into a large summer room leading out to the garden. Seven windows flood the room with light, the mangers have been turned into benches with cushions. An open fireplace, comfortable sofas and armchairs make this room pleasantly informal and comfortable. In one corner a simple kitchen with fridge caters to outdoor life. A double room with an en-suite bathroom opens out onto the garden and has been adapted for wheel chair use.

A spiral Renaissance-style travertine staircase leads to the upper floor. Here a stunning central living room with windows looking out on both sides, a fireplace and a large African hardwood dining table communicates with a large Tuscan kitchen with an old beam and local travertine hood running along one wall. A waist-high fireplace is a local feature which makes it easy to cook over the fire. The kitchen walls have been painted a stunning blue lime wash in the characteristic style of the old kitchens in peasant farms, as blue was supposed to keep the flies away in the summer. As you will see from the plan of the house two bedrooms have en suite bathrooms while two share a bathroom.

The garden, shaded by old oak trees, has been designed to blend in naturally with the surroundings. Climbing roses, hydrangea petiolaris, lavender, cystus, rosemary and honeysuckle mix well with the old oak and fruit trees. Meals can be taken under a pergola covered by wisteria, roses and grapevines. A 10 by 5 meter fenced pool is tucked away at the far end of the garden.

A small house, which used to be the pig pen, hen house and ox barn, Casa del Bove, and is now a charming and cosy loft with old tie beams and a large fireplace, has two further bedrooms and bathrooms.

This immaculately restored farmhouse crowns a secluded hill on one of Italy’s most prestigious private estates, home to mature woods, olive groves and the renowned Antognolla Golf Course. Its excellent amenities and prized location, with sweeping views of undulating countryside enjoyed from the lovely panoramic terraces and infinity pool, offers an idyllic setting for gathering family or groups of friends in Umbria.

Monticelli consists of a main villa and a guest house encircled by 10,000 m² of landscaped gardens of flowers, aromatic plants, shrubs and ancient olive trees. Extensive renovations have wonderfully retained the buildings’ original wooden beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and several large fireplaces. The refined decor successfully blends classic style with contemporary appeal thanks to antiques, leather armchairs, vintage print fabrics, velour cushions and carefully chosen art objects. The renovations also added large glass doors for direct access outside, spacious walk-in showers, free-standing bathtubs and other luxuries.

There are two sitting rooms in the main villa, equipped with comfortable seating, a large open fireplace and large smart TV. The spacious kitchen is fitted with marble countertops and all new appliances. It leads onto the elegant indoor dining room as well as to the outdoor dining terrace. In the main villa there are also four air-conditioned bedrooms; three king-size double bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, and a twin bedroom with double bunk beds for the kids. The adjacent guest house has a well-equipped kitchen, a sitting room with fireplace and two additional king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Next to the main villa is an expansive panoramic terrace with a covered pergola with a dining table for 10, a sitting with outdoor sofas and a sunny lounge area. There are several other more intimate sitting areas around the property where you can enjoy the views or a quiet moment. There is an additional covered pergola next to the large infinity pool which is also bordered by sun beds and umbrellas.

There is plenty to do right on the sprawling 18,000-hectare estate, including forest walks, pic nics on the estate’s lake, renting a bike, horseback riding, a meal at the estate’s Il Caldaro restaurant or a day at the golf course. Within less than a half an hour you can also reach the picturesque and cultural city of Perugia or beautiful Lake Trasimeno.

The vast estate is home to several other rental villas.
