About this property
Nestled in an old olive grove, this villa in Tuscany overlooks picture-perfect rolling Italian countryside. Wander the secluded gardens, sip wine beneath the arbor, or catch your breath as you swim to the edge of your private infinity pool. This rustic 5 bedroom villa has space for up to 10 guests to revel in the slow, indoor-outdoor, Italian villa lifestyle. To ease your stay, a "Welcome Basket" will be waiting for you, full of classic Tuscan pantry essentials (and of course those first bottles of wine).
Have your villa holiday here in the village of Castelmuzio (population: 200). Here you’ll find a close-knit, warm, and welcoming Italian community. It's a town that time forgot, with city walls and ramparts dating from the 13th century. Castelmuzio's historic churches and the Museum of Sacred Art offer opportunities to delve into the ancient Etruscan roots of the region.
