About this property

Hilltop house in the heart of Tuscany with private pool

This 'home' in Tuscany is a carefully restored and enlarged farm building dating back to the 18th century. Its hilltop setting between olive groves and wheat fields, just 1.5km outside historic Montisi, gives it a unique 'away-from-it-all feeling'. Yet the hamlet's bakery, grocery shop, bar/tabac and restaurants are just a leisurely 15 min stroll away between cypresses and olive trees. Views are stunning, with the area around the private pool particularly good for enjoying sunsets.
This is not a 'develop to let' property, but a house that for seven years served as a 'home' when the owners were posted overseas and is now their holiday home.
It is arranged over three floors;
- The top floor comprises a double bed room with en suite bathroom
- The first floor mirrors the top floor, except that it is laid out as a twin bedroom, with en suite shower/bathroom
- The ground floor offers fantastic views over the rolling country side and includes a 25 X 12 ft living room with a well stocked library and fireplace, as well as a fully equipped kitchen with a beautiful breakfast terrace.

Stunning property and location
My family and I had such a lovely week staying in Montisi taking in the views and exploring the surrounding towns and villages. We took our 6 month old baby with us and before booking the owner did explain that the property is far from baby proof (steep stone steps everywhere), but thankfully our daughter wasn’t able to crawl so we didn’t have any issues. I can’t quite stress enough how stunning the views are both from the patio at the Villa (where we had our breakfast every day) and when driving through the rolling hills in the surrounding area. It felt like something from a film; we were taken away with how beautiful it was. Highly recommend this villa, it’s clear to see this is a very much loved property by the owners and we were lucky to be able to stay!

Perfect holiday!
Wow! Such a beautiful property with absolutely mesmerising views. We absolutely loved our holiday here, the perfect place to celebrate my 50th, milestone birthday! We loved the wonderful bedroom on the top floor, cooking in the quaint kitchen, bbq'ing and eating al fresco on the beautiful terrace and veranda, playing table tennis, relaxing in the wonderful pool, we even brought lilo's at the local supermarket and spent afternoons bobbing around, enjoying the wonderful weather. The house was well equipped, all the basics for cooking, coffee, tea etc, even a nespresso machine and a lovely, much appreciated welcome basket! The local village is really friendly and Il Barino''s is a must for a delicious, long, relaxed lunch / dinner - fantastic! We came here for a much needed break and found a piece of paradise. The local bee-eater birds and their vibrant colours were incredible, the sunrises and sunsets out of this world. We highly recommend this property, absolutely wonderful!

Wonderful place in the Tuscan hilks
Our second stay which says it all! Lovely house, well equipped, super pool and eating on the terrace every day with a glorious view made it a joy. Delightful helpful owner and local man and cleaner. Many lovely restaurants and places to visit a short drive away. Highly recommended!

Perfect Tuscan retreat
Property, gardens, pool, location, aspect, facilities, decor, reading material, info. provided, property manager etc. etc. All perfetto. Just needs a couple of comfy (but tasteful of course) outdoor chairs to get the full sunset and Brunello experience.

Simply Amazing
Difficult to describe how much we enjoyed our stay! Loved the setting and rural location. Captivated by the view of the rolling hills, the deer grazing in the distance and the absolute silence. Coffee on the patio in the morning without a sound! The house itself a mix of personal character and charm. We used the location as a base for exploring the area and hit several towns in the area, too many to fully list. Really enjoyed Pienza where we did a self tour bike trip. We really enjoyed dinner at La Romita in the village of Montisi. The locals were very welcoming. The host at the local wine bar was a great resource for wine and information on the village and surrounding area. Very sad that we had to leave, a great home away from home for a week!
