Situated in a quiet pastoral setting, and just to the south of Siena, stands Villa Amiata. Newly restored, and surrounded by almost 50 acres of wooded hills, this secluded, old stone farmhouse dates back to the 1870's. It has been carefully restored by the new English-speaking owner with taste, using local materials. There are handmade cotto tiles on the floor, original wooden beams on the ceilings and clean, white walls - lending harmony and creating a relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by mature oak trees, in a panoramic position, there is an amazing swimming pool (open May - September). This exclusive pool, approx. 50m from the house, enjoys expansive views over the hills towards Montalcino and Monte Amiata on the horizon.
Traditional aspects have been married well to a contemporary style and the property offers great privacy. This is an excellent choice for a relaxing holiday, while nature lovers will find the area rich in local flora and fauna, including deer, porcupine and boars.
The nearest village is Casciano di Murlo, just four kms away, where guests can find a grocery, butcher shop, bakery, restaurant, bar, bank, chemist, post office, etc. The beautiful city of Siena is just 24 kms away while Florence and the Tuscan coast are easily reachable in one hour drive. The villa is reachable by about three km of unpaved and bumpy road (not suitable for sports cars with low suspension).
Furnished in a contemporary style, the villa is comprised of two floors. On the ground floor there is the living area, with modern sofas and Satellite TV; a large brick archway separates the living area from the dining area furnished with a large wooden table, antiques and a large French door opening onto the garden. Close to the dining area, is a modern stainless kitchen. The kitchen is fully-equipped with stove, oven, microwave, fridge with freezer, and dishwasher. A French door in the kitchen opens onto the outside area furnished with table, chairs and sofas covered by a modern red sail. On the ground floor there is also one toilet and a double bedroom with ensuite shower bathroom.
A marble staircase of seventeen steps leads to the first floor where there are four more large and comfortable double bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms.

We stayed at the villa for 3 weeks. 3 beautiful weeks of sunshine, storm and everything in between. We recommend the family Trattoria of Casciano and the wines of Montecucco.
Grasie Mille!

We absolutely loved this villa. We were lucky with the Tuscan sun. The pool was our favorite spot. The home has been beautifully renovated and was easy to keep tidy. We saw a few people close by the house going on walks in the parklands around us. Such a magic spot amongst the trees and great views! Our first trip to Italy and this villa made the vacation for us perfect! The property manager was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this property and would definitely come back again for longer next time. Grazie mille!

We had an excellent two weeks stay at Villa Amiata. The peace and quiet of this magnificent location. It was a good base to visit Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and other nearby towns.
The property manager was very helpful and clear in explaining the operation of the villa etc...

We have enjoyed very much our one week stay at Villa Amiata. We had difficulties finding the villa but the house is just superb! We visited Siena, San Gimignano and Certaldo. We have also spent a lot of time in the swimming pool area. We would definitely like to return for a longer stay.
