Montestigliano - Emilio's House

This traditional yet refined Italian hamlet dating back to 1783 is totally immersed in nature. Montestigliano offers its guests luxury and comfort in the heart of Tuscany, complete with all services, including a vegetable garden for guests and two swimming pools. This oasis of peace and beauty lies just 12km from Siena and a short drive away from the region’s much loved treasures such as Florence, San Gimignano, Cortona, Montepulciano and Pienza. The beautiful family-run farm sits atop its own hill, overlooking the Merse river valley. The estate is spread over two thousand acres of land covering fairy tale woodlands, fantastic cypress avenues, holm oak and cork oak trees, fields of wheat, barley, sunflowers and maze, and groves of 3,000 olive trees from which a delicious DOP extra virgin olive oil is made. Each farmhouse has been renovated in great detail, the style, décor and charm of Montestigliano make it a special and unique destination for a wonderful, enjoyable and most importantly memorable holiday. The farm offers traditional Tuscan cooking classes and olive oil tastings, starlit dinners, pizza feasts and in-house private catering or massage services. While the surrounding area presents numerous opportunities to go on peaceful strolls in nature, taste typical dishes at local restaurants, go horse riding or on bicycle tours, visit a local market, relax in a hot spring or take an afternoon dip in the nearby river. Or you can enjoy a day trip to the seaside ending with a plate of delicious fresh fish, and of course, let’s not forget the region’s multitude of local wineries offering an exquisite array of wines from both the areas of Chianti and Val d’Orcia, to be samples alongside a platter of local cheeses and cold cuts. This is our newest conversion, formerly home to Emilio, one of the old sharecrop farmers on the estate who knew and understood the land like the palm of his hand. The house has been restored with passion and respect for traditional Tuscan architecture, the charm and character of the old farmhouse is enhanced with modern Italian design to offer guests a delightful and private getaway at any time of year. Casa Emilio, with its two double ensuite bedrooms, stands independently on the edge of the hill, just a couple of minutes from the main square and swimming pool. It is a haven of peace and quiet facing west, overlooking the rolling woodlands punctuated with cypress and umbrella pine trees. The large airy open-plan kitchen/living room has a glass paned wall with sliding doors that open onto a private fully furnished terrace with working fireplace. The perfect refuge from the hustle and bustle of the everyday, where you can catch the last rays of sunshine while sipping on a cool glass of prosecco.
