Il Mandorlo by Boutique

Timeless Design Between Tuscany & Umbria

This is a home born from a sophisticated Belgian-Italian design dialogue. The vision was to transform a traditional country house into a contemporary sanctuary that feels both grand and intimate. The architecture respects the rural vernacular while the interiors introduce a layer of minimalist elegance.

Across 830 square meters, the interiors by Devos Interieur are serene and spacious. A palette of soft, natural tones complements tactile materials like wood and marble. The central kitchen, featuring a Lacanche oven and a wine climate cabinet, is designed for social gatherings. Two separate living rooms, one with a fireplace, provide ample space for unwinding.

The professionally landscaped grounds hold an infinity pool, flanked by a stylish pool house with a bar. The covered outdoor kitchen, complete with a pizza oven, barbecue and pieces by B&B Italia, is perfect for long lunches on the terrace. A jeu-de-boules court sits among the olive trees. There's also a pétanque field and pingpong table, and a seasonal vegetable garden is available for guest use.

What we love

The thoughtful, international design collaboration gives the home a unique and sophisticated character. The separate pigeon tower suite is the ultimate romantic escape—a playful hideaway that offers a couple perfect privacy from the main group.

Layout

This vacation home for rent in Umbria sleeps up to 12 adults and two children. The three-story main house features five spacious double bedrooms, all with handmade box springs and en-suite bathrooms. All seven bathrooms have toilets, showers and sinks, and two include bathtubs.

A separate guesthouse is located in the estate’s pigeon tower—a unique 50-square-meter suite with a double bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, and a sofa bed.

Experiences

A host of private services can be arranged. Book a private chef for a celebratory dinner, take a cooking workshop in the state-of-the-art kitchen, or enjoy a curated wine tasting. In-villa massages, daily cleaning, and breakfast service are also available. For exploring the countryside, e-bikes can be delivered directly to the property upon request.

Good to know

A car is essential for reaching the property and exploring the beautiful Umbria-Tuscany region. The villa's layout is spread across multiple floors and buildings, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Please note that the home is best suited for families with children aged eight years and older.
