Location and Surrounding Area
The villa is set near the picturesque village of Poggi del Sasso, nestled in the heart of Tuscany’s rolling hills. Surrounded by ancient olive groves and sprawling vineyards, the village offers stunning panoramic views of the idyllic Tuscan countryside, with its iconic cypress trees and gentle landscapes.

Nestled in the heart of southern Tuscany, Poggi del Sasso is the perfect starting point to explore the treasures of the Val d’Orcia and the Maremma. Just a short drive away lies Montalcino, world-famous for its prestigious Brunello wines, where medieval walls, stone alleyways, and hilltop views offer an authentic Tuscan charm. Nearby Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, delights visitors with its Renaissance architecture, quaint artisan shops, and sweeping views of golden hills dotted with cypress trees.
To the east, Montepulciano and Cortona invite guests to wander through historic town centres brimming with cultural heritage, artisan boutiques, and family-run trattorias. Each town offers a unique perspective on Tuscan life, from the elegant palazzos and wine cellars of Montepulciano to the Etruscan roots and vibrant arts scene of Cortona. Along the way, picture-perfect countryside unfolds in every direction — a dreamlike blend of vineyards, olive groves, and gently rolling hills.
Heading west, the lesser-known yet striking Tuscan Maremma reveals wild coastlines, lush nature reserves, and medieval hamlets like Massa Marittima and Castiglione della Pescaia. The area is also rich in wellness traditions, with natural hot springs such as Bagno Vignoni and Saturnia, perfect for a rejuvenating day trip.
