Description
Property Summary
Nestled deep in the heart of Tuscany, Villa Sorripa is an exceptional vacation rental set among the rolling green hills of the Val d'Elsa, where ancient olive trees and sweeping vineyards define the landscape. Located in close proximity to the charming borgo of Montaione, a town celebrated as the "land of green tourism" for its warm hospitality and breathtaking natural surroundings, this newly-built farmhouse pays faithful homage to the timeless traditions of Tuscan architecture. The exterior is clad in exposed stone, while the interior showcases terracotta floors, chestnut wood finishings, and the distinctive artistry of handmade Vietri tiles in the bathrooms and precious ceramics of Montelupo throughout the property. Situated in Italy's most beloved countryside, Villa Sorripa forms part of a small, exclusive borgo of stone buildings dedicated to tourism, positioned on the edge of a quiet hamlet yet enjoying complete seclusion within a private park enclosed by hedges and accessed through a dedicated entrance gate. The well-maintained garden of approximately 700 square metres surrounds the house, offering a lush and tranquil outdoor environment. A 2-car parking area is conveniently located just past the entrance gate, only a few steps from the main entrance. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay.
Outdoors

The garden, which extends over a flat area of approximately 700 square metres, is beautifully landscaped with flower beds, lavender and oleander bushes, as well as lemon and olive trees that together create a harmonious and fragrant environment. Immediately behind the house, just outside the living room French windows, a terracotta-paved patio has been arranged as a fully equipped outdoor dining area, complete with a sun umbrella and a stone-built barbecue, making it an ideal setting for leisurely meals in the open air. From this patio, a few steps descend to a green lawn, naturally framed and sheltered by hedges and a picturesque vine screen, at the centre of which stands the private swimming pool reserved exclusively for the use of guests. The oval-shaped pool, accessed by Roman steps, is lined in PVC and features a depth ranging from 0.80 to 1.20 metres, chlorine purification, and internal lighting that renders it perfectly usable even during the evening hours. A stone walkway leads directly to the pool from the house, and the surrounding lawn sunbathing area is generously furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, small tables, and umbrellas. A cold-water shower is also available poolside for guests' convenience. The swimming pool is non-heated and is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
