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.

Perfect location for a relaxing holiday.

We had a wonderful stay, the location was perfect for a short 15 minute walk into Montisi. The countryside setting was lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful nature, watching the deer every evening was delightful. We hope to return in the future.

Very relaxing. Good jumping off point for many locations

The place had everything you need. Pool was very nice. Great views. The walk in to the center of town was about a mile, but had a few nice restaurants.

Even better than the pictures

My husband and I had a lovely stay for a week in this villa. The house and the location were perfect. Even better than we saw in the pictures. There is a large terrace in front of the house with shade and a perfect view (with sunsets) were we sat most of the day. The swimming pool was also great and you could always choose between sun or shade next to the pool. It was very quiet. No noice from traffic or anything else (except from the birds, the peacocks and crickets :-)) We have stayed in a quite a number of villas over the years (France, Spain, Italy) but this villa is definitely in our top 3.Montisi is a small but charming village. It is a 3 minute drive from the villa along a small path. You can find a bakery, a small supermarket and a very nice restaurant there. The only down side was the very hot bedroom. I understood though that the owner plans to put AC in. If that is the case than we certainly would like to go back here!

An ideal base for a wonderful Tuscan holiday!

We loved our week at this beautiful house in Montisi. It’s in an ideal location : secluded in gorgeous countryside but a short drive from the town and close to so many beautiful Tuscan towns and villages. The house is really well set up and the views from the bedrooms and the patio outside the kitchen are picture postcard perfect. We had a wonderful week and recommend this property without reservation!

Our second time

Montisi is a beautiful, small hilltop town with almost no tourists. We love being away from the Tuscan crowds of the bigger cities. Yet we were only 30-40 minutes away from all the sights. The property is unique, but comfortable. The manager is friendly and very helpful.

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful property in Montisi. The view from the terrace is really beautiful! We enjoyed the silence, you can completely relax. The house has everything you need to make it a pleasant stay. We were truly blown away by the charm of this lovely home. Montisi is the ideal base to discover this beautiful region. It's really enjoyable. Communication with Catherine was excellent and also with Adi, who was waiting for us on arrival. This holiday home is highly recommended.

Wonderful villa in great location

We absolutely loved our stay here. The villa has such character (it’s exactly as in the photos) with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And the location is perfect for exploring all the hill top villages. The local village Montisi is the perfect size - with all that we needed, without the tourists - and the locals were very friendly. Catherine is an awesome host, sending loads of helpful information prior as well as checking in on us during our stay. Although the weather wasn’t as warm as normal for May it was perfect for our adventures and we will return in summer to make use of the pool!! We would definitely recommend this villa and Catherine as a host and we look forward to returning sometime soon.

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!

Family holiday in Montisi

What a beautiful spot! The sunsets from this property are spectacular. The villa is well appointed with comfortable beds and sofas and plenty of space to sunbathe or sit in the shade and relax. The pool is long enough to have a good swim and there are lots of sun loungers around and a hammock to sunbathe. The house has lots of fab books should you run out of materials! It’s only 20 mins on foot to the village with two bars and 3/4 restaurants to choose from. All very high quality. Beautiful area with plenty on hill top villages and towns to explore. Catherine, the owner is very informative and communicates promptly and Adi, the local friendly manager is on hand should you need anything. I fully recommend this property for a ‘get away from it all’ holiday.

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!

Peaceful respite

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your very comfortable home just outside the village of Montisi. The views were breathtaking and hard to leave. We enjoyed our coffee on the terrace every morning and slept like babes in the quiet! We visited many of the nearby villages and especially enjoyed a delicious dinner at Fattoria La Romita. We loved getting to know the folks at Portofranco and they had excellent wine recommendations! The house provided everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of our stay there. It was too cool for dips in the pool but we could imagine how nice it would be. We did visit the thermal springs in Bagno Vignoni and treated ourselves to a half day at Posta Marcucci. The poppies were in bloom along with all the scotchbroom. The olive trees were amazing! I could go on and on and hope that one day we can return! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
