Hortus

A one-of-a-kind villa in the outskirts of Siena. The space Grapevines flourish over a pergola to frame painting-worthy views of the Siena countryside at this historic villa. It feels like a retreat out of a different era, with its lovingly landscaped garden, original architecture, and unspoiled vistas of olive groves, but its rooms are filled with collections sourced from around the world. Drive 10 minutes to the medieval streets of Siena. The villa’s gardens invite you in, with benches hidden in the forest and a pergola-covered outdoor dining area that’s perfectly positioned to take in the views. Kick off the evening by heating up the barbecue. A private exercise room makes it easy to keep up with your routine while on holiday. While the home’s bones are Italian, its interiors draw inspiration from around the globe. Beamed ceilings and warm-toned plaster walls are the backdrop for sleeker modern pieces in the living room and 2 dining rooms, and stainless steel is the go-to texture for a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. With the historic center of Siena just a 10-minute drive from the villa, it’s easy to pop in for a wander through medieval streets or an afternoon gelato. Plan a few day trips visiting other walled towns nearby, from San Gimignano and Volterra to Monteriggioni and its 13th-century fortifications. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
