About this villa rental
Formerly a convent of Saint Francis of Assisi, this extraordinary home is a paragon of Italian Renaissance architecture, and has been lovingly renovated to become a magical retreat for families and friends. The convent is part of a 16th century estate designed by Antonio da San Gallo, the most influential architect of his time. It’s set atop a wooded ravine on 26 acres of magnificent Tuscan countryside, with sprawling views of distant vineyards and sheep grazing in the meadow below.
Step inside the house and you’ll be awestruck by the opulent interiors. There are multiple living areas, the most grand being the former winemaking room, with its original giant chestnut barrels, a limestone wine cellar below, and a long banquet table that seats twenty. The kitchen is fully kitted out for cooking up Italian feasts, or if you prefer, a private chef is available to hire. There are plenty of cosy sitting rooms to relax in – perhaps you’ll want to curl up with a book in the library, or play cards on the velvet sofas while a fire crackles in the hearth. The seven bedrooms are bursting with character. From crimson drapery on a four poster bed, to ancient pottery lining the fireplace, each one has a unique charm. The bathrooms are equally majestic – we love the freestanding pewter bath tub, and the deep azure ceiling, so you can bathe like nobility.
On summer days, plunge into the 18 metre saltwater infinity pool overlooking the Tuscan hills, before relaxing on a deck chair beneath the fragrant jasmine pergola. Outside the house there’s an alcove with flowering archways, which is the perfect place for alfresco dining. On warm evenings, wander through the ancient fig and lavender garden, or follow one of the winding Etruscan paths near the house. The Mediaeval town of Pitigliano is a ten-minute walk away, where you’ll find family run Italian restaurants, authentic gelaterias, and breathtaking Etruscan architecture. Welcome to a home like no other.
