Bask in the History of Tuscany

These stones tell a story. They're a tactile and earthy reminder of the history and idyllic way of life that Italy does so well. From its coat of arms, to the heritage olive groves, this villa for rent in Tuscany invites you back in time to bask in an idyll that's endured for centuries.

Stretching out over 50 acres of rolling farmland in the Seggianese countryside, this historic rural complex has been converted into an award-winning estate where the owners share their passion of la dolce vita and offer a place to experience the tranquility, unrivaled scenery and atmospheric beauty of Tuscany.

Creating workshops where you can relax and recharge with zen yoga, or learn about the cultivation of olive oil, wine making and culinary history, this place offers the tastes, sensations and existential peace of Italy. 

“The olive trees cultivated in this enchanted place, on the slopes of Mount Amiata, have given us precious fruits that we turned into an oil of extraordinary quality.” 

Cradled in the Val d’Orcia under the watchful gaze of Mt. Amiata, it's here that you'll find the ideal place to turn a dream into reality.
