Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Bossoncina is a beautifully restored 19th-century stone farmhouse that has been transformed into an elegant villa, offering an exceptional vacation rental experience just under 2 kilometers from the celebrated Renaissance town of Montepulciano, in Italy. The property spans approximately 200 square meters across 2 levels and stands as a testament to the harmonious union of historic craftsmanship and contemporary design, where authentic local materials and fine antique furnishings meet modern, functional details to create an intimate and enveloping atmosphere. Guests are welcomed into a setting that combines the charm of the Tuscan countryside with a full suite of thoughtful amenities, including a generous yard immersed in olive groves, fruit trees, and Mediterranean shrubs, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity and a dedicated parking area located immediately beyond the entrance gate to the property.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Bossoncina are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape. An inviting garden with colorful seasonal blooms extends across the surrounding land, which forms part of a working farm where olive trees line the perimeter and a young collection of fruit trees and Mediterranean shrubs dot the expanses of lawn. In the paved area in front of the kitchen's French window, a pergola shelters a large stone table and a barbecue, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and leisurely afternoons in the reserved countryside. The large, newly built swimming pool is positioned in a section of the garden that overlooks the breathtaking panorama of the Chiana valley, just 15 meters from the house and enclosed by a fence for safety. The pool measures 6x12 meters, with a depth ranging from 1.10 to 1.50 meters, and features travertine edging, stoneware lining, a travertine bottom, and large corner steps leading into the water. Both internal and external lighting ensure the pool can be enjoyed at any hour, while a solar shower and chlorine purification system are also in place. The surrounding sunbathing area is finished in terracotta, and a vast lawn stretches toward the garden, complete with a gazebo, sunbeds, and a shade sail covering the conversation area. The pool is non-heated and is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Please note that photographs of the property are typically taken in spring, so the colors and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and surrounding grounds may vary at the time of your arrival.

Bossoncina accommodates up to 9 guests across 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed over 2 internally connected levels. Thanks to the property's hilly position on a sloping surface, direct access to the exterior is also possible from the upper floor, directly from one of the bedrooms. On the ground floor, the living area unfolds from the main entrance into a bright open space where the living room, dining area, and open kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, with direct access to the outdoor dining area. A dedicated TV room and a games room featuring a table football table are also located on this floor, along with a service bathroom that includes a laundry area. A staircase adjacent to the living room leads to the first floor, which houses the sleeping quarters: 3 double bedrooms, one of which includes an extra bed, and 1 twin bedroom with joinable beds. Each bedroom is equipped with its own private bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Il Molinaccio is an extraordinary vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside near the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, Italy. This remarkable property is the result of a meticulous and passionate restoration of an ancient watermill dating from the sixteenth century, already documented on the old maps of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The original architecture has been lovingly preserved, with terracotta floors, exposed beams, and stone façades seamlessly blended with modern comforts and tasteful furnishings that draw from the rich rural tradition of Tuscany. The interior combines salvaged pieces of antique furniture with contemporary accessories, achieving a harmonious balance between tradition and functionality. Designed with a deep respect for the environment, the restoration was carried out according to sustainable principles, incorporating innovative systems that guarantee complete energy efficiency, including a photovoltaic system that offers free recharging for electric vehicles. The property is surrounded by a generous yard that includes a colorful garden bordered by century-old oak trees, a fruit grove, and a 3.5-hectare vineyard. Wireless Internet connection is available throughout the property, keeping you connected while you enjoy the absolute tranquility of this unique setting. 2 covered parking spaces are provided on-site for your convenience, ensuring a comfortable and practical stay from the moment of your arrival.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Il Molinaccio are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless extension of the property's natural elegance. The property is immersed in a one-hectare park consisting primarily of woodland, while the house itself is surrounded by approximately 6,000 square metres of well-maintained garden lawn framed by old oak trees that provide generous shade and a natural coolness on warm summer days. Rose bushes and geraniums add vibrant splashes of color to this oasis of green and tranquility. A beautiful stone portico, furnished with a table and benches, provides an ideal setting for pleasant outdoor meals in the open air. Just outside the kitchen, a large paved area has been equipped as an additional dining space, perfect for alfresco gatherings. A large barbecue is available for your use, inviting you to prepare flavorful grills accompanied by a glass of the estate's own Nobile di Montepulciano. The small forest is crossed by the river Salcheto, along which the owners Marco and Alessandro have created a walking footpath with natural bridges, ideal for leisurely strolls or moments of relaxation on handmade wooden benches while enjoying the surrounding natural landscape. Along the river, 3D targets representing local animals have been positioned, transforming the path into a fully fledged Field Archery Range where both professionals and amateurs may practice or learn this ancient sport with the assistance of a skilled trainer. A small outbuilding serves as a laundry facility. The property's cats wander freely throughout the park, adding a charming and authentic rural atmosphere to your stay. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the color of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
Positioned in front of the villa, set among the walls of the old trench where water was once collected and channeled to the watermill, the scenic infinity swimming pool is a true highlight of the estate. Open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October, the pool is non-heated and measures 5 x 18 metres, with a depth varying from 1.20 metres to 1.60 metres. Rather than conventional chlorine treatment, the pool uses a saltwater disinfection system, which is considerably healthier, free from added chemicals, and offers notable benefits including reduced eye irritation and improved tanning. The water has a light and pleasant salty taste. The rectangular pool is equipped with Roman steps for easy water access, underwater lighting, and a cold-water shower. The surrounding solarium area is paved with travertine and furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, umbrellas, and small tables. Not far from the pool's edge, beneath an ancient oak tree, a dedicated relaxation area has been arranged with a comfortable lounge suite, perfect for unwinding in the shade after a swim.

Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, La Casa di Elsa is a beautifully restored vacation rental set in the medieval hilltop village of Santa Fiora, Italy. Dating back to the early 20th century, this charming property was originally a humble rural house, with animal stalls on the ground floor and peasants' quarters above. Following a skilful renovation completed in 2013, the house has been transformed into a refined and comfortable home that seamlessly blends its rich historical character with modern comforts. The original stone walls, exposed on the exterior and visible beneath the plaster in certain interior spaces, speak to the property's authentic past, while carefully restored pieces of furniture, including 2 old madie, traditional kitchen cupboards once used for kneading and storing bread, now serve as elegant and functional storage units. The lush garden, panoramic swimming pool, and the characteristic medieval town centre of Santa Fiora towering above complete a setting of rare beauty. Surrounded by green woods and set within a 4-hectare estate, the property offers a generous yard that provides both privacy and a deep connection with the natural landscape. Guests benefit from Internet WiFi throughout the house, ensuring connectivity during their stay, and a dedicated gravel parking area is conveniently located near the main entrance, making arrivals and departures effortless.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of La Casa di Elsa are among its most captivating features, arranged across 3 large terraces that descend gracefully through the garden. Lawns enlivened by colourful flower pots, mature trees typical of the Tuscan landscape, including chestnuts, oaks, cypresses, walnut, hazelnut, cherry, and apple trees, create a rich and varied natural setting full of interesting corners to discover. An outdoor seating area furnished with sofas and armchairs invites relaxation in the open air, while a panoramic terrace equipped with a brickwork barbecue offers the perfect spot for preparing and enjoying grilled meals in the company of family or friends. The woods and olive grove that border the garden form part of the wider 4-hectare estate, lending the property an exceptional sense of seclusion and tranquillity. From the main entrance, 2 charming paths wind through the woods alongside little streams, leading guests to the village centre in just a few minutes on foot. A few large steps cross the lawn along the 20 metres separating the house from the panoramic swimming pool, which is set on the lowest terrace of the garden and clearly visible from the rooms and patio. The non-heated pool measures 5 x 11 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m, is edged in stoneware tiles, lined in PVC, and features salt purification. Roman steps lead into the water, and the pool is equipped with both internal and external lighting. The surrounding solarium area extends over a level surface that is partly paved and mostly lawn, furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and served by a cold-water shower. The many trees throughout the garden create numerous areas of natural shade, particularly welcome during the warmest days of summer. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the appearance of flowering plants and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

Distances and Attractions
Santa Fiora, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is just a short walk from La Casa di Elsa via the charming wooded paths that begin near the property's main entrance. The village is steeped in history, built around the remains of the ancient Aldobrandesque fortifications, of which the Clock Tower is adorned with ceramics by the Della Robbia family, with battlements dating back to the 19th century. Nearby, the Palazzo Sforza stands over the remains of the walls of the old castle, while the Church of Saints Flora and Lucilla houses the celebrated terracotta altarpieces of the Della Robbia Florentine workshop. The Peschiera, a tranquil mirror of clear water dedicated to trout breeding, forms a small and enchanting park immersed in silence, beside which stands the Church of the Madonna delle Nevi, built above the sources of the river Fiora, visible through a glass floor. Exploring the village further along Via Carolina and through its various streets, you pass through the historic Jewish ghetto, whose appearance remains remarkably similar to what it would have been in the mid-16th century, culminating in the Piazza del Ghetto, the only square in Santa Fiora accessible from a single entrance. The Mercury Mine Museum is also open to visitors within the village. Beyond Santa Fiora, the wider region of Tuscany offers an extraordinary wealth of cultural and natural attractions. Etruscan towns rich in history, such as Montepulciano, Montalcino, and San Casciano di Bagni, are within easy reach, as are the great art cities of Tuscany. The well-connected road network makes short excursions straightforward, and the sunny beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea are approximately one hour's drive away.

Villa Il Cedro enjoys a privileged position less than 1 kilometre from the medieval borgo of Sarteano, a town rich in architectural masterpieces set on the slopes of Mount Cetona, south of Siena. The surrounding area places guests at the crossroads of some of Tuscany's most celebrated landscapes, including the lower Val di Chiana and the rugged, wild Val d'Orcia, while also being within easy reach of the regional borders of Lazio and Umbria. The villa's strategic location ensures excellent connectivity, with the main motorway junction of Autostrada A1 and the Chiusi railway station both situated a short distance away, making Villa Il Cedro an ideal base from which to explore the wealth of cultural, historical, and natural attractions that define this extraordinary corner of central Italy.
