Perfectly located in the heart of Tuscany’s enchanting Val d’Orcia, Villa Efedra is a delightful rural villa providing a serene home away from home, keeping the interiors cool and comfortable even during the hot summer months, despite the absence of air conditioning. With breathtaking views over the lush hills, this 300-year-old farmhouse features 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms (3 in the main villa and 2 in the annex), with the option for an additional guest accommodated on a single sofa bed in the study.

Set amidst 30 acres of private woodland, the villa’s expansive outdoor spaces offer unparalleled opportunities for relaxation. The sheltered stone-paved terrace faces the valley, making it the perfect setting for al fresco meals. The solar-heated swimming pool, with jet stream functionality, is ideally positioned to take in the stunning landscape, while the solar hot tub promises tranquil moments. A built-in barbecue and ample space for lounging further enhance the outdoor experience.

Main Villa:
The main villa spans two levels, featuring a living room with an antique stone fireplace, opening onto the terrace. The spacious dining room, with a traditional peasant’s hearth, can seat up to 16 guests and leads out to the al fresco dining area. The fully equipped kitchen features professional-grade appliances, including a refrigerator, ice-making machine, and laundry facilities. On the ground floor, there is also a study with a single sofa bed for one additional guest and, adjacent to it, a bathroom with a shower.

A twin room (which can be converted into a double bedroom upon request) with a spacious dressing room and en-suite bathroom with shower ensures comfort for all. For added charm, the tower double bedroom, accessed via an external stone staircase, boasts a small private terrace and an elegant en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Annex:
The annex offers additional accommodation with two bedrooms, each featuring en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom is a twin room (convertible to a double bedroom upon request), while the other is a spacious king-sized double bedroom. Both rooms provide the same high level of comfort and privacy as the main villa, with tasteful furnishings and soothing décor.
