Property Summary
Nestled in the verdant heart of the Sienese Montagnola in Sovicille, Tuscany, Italy, L'Ovile is a remarkable vacation rental that embodies the timeless spirit of authentic rural living. This typical Tuscan farmhouse, whose origins date back to the beginning of the 20th century, was acquired together with the larger estate Casanova by its present owners in the 1960s and has since been lovingly restored using reclaimed materials such as the stone that covers its structure, as well as new materials crafted in the old tradition, including stone floors and bricks set above chestnut beams that grace the ceilings. The recent renovations have further distinguished the property by conferring upon its exterior a distinctive fortress style, a building technique rooted in the Middle Ages, while the integration of solar panels and a photovoltaic system reflects a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. Surrounded by dense woodland rich in chestnut groves, holm oaks, and oaks, L'Ovile offers guests a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty, where gentle hills roll across vast tracts of countryside stretching toward the horizon, and ancient abbeys, towers, and historic stone villages bear witness to centuries of Tuscan history. The property benefits from a private yard of remarkable extension, with well-maintained outdoor spaces that invite relaxation and exploration. Reliable Internet WiFi connectivity is available throughout the stay, and private parking is provided on the premises, ensuring a comfortable and convenient arrival for all guests.
Outdoors
The farmhouse is set within a 36-hectare property entirely surrounded by woodland, where dotted paths and unpaved roads extending for approximately 1.5 hectares invite guests to enjoy long, peaceful walks through nature. The charming flowered garden of 500 square metres features a generous lawn area that wraps around the house, creating a tranquil and welcoming outdoor environment. 2 benches, sunbeds, and a hammock are thoughtfully arranged throughout the garden, offering ideal spots to unwind in complete serenity. In front of the French windows of the kitchen, a gazebo-covered outdoor dining area is furnished with a table and garden chairs, while a gas barbecue positioned just a few steps away adds to the al fresco experience. A table tennis table is also available for guests seeking a more active form of outdoor leisure. It is worth noting that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of arrival. The non-heated swimming pool, sited on a lower level relative to the house and oriented to the south, is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. It features an attractive kidney shape and measures 11 x 7.3 metres, with a minimum diameter of 4.80 metres near the ladder. The depth ranges from 1.10 metres to 1.80 metres, and the pool is lined in PVC with salt purification. Entry to the water is via Roman steps equipped with hydromassage vents.

The solarium area surrounding the pool is furnished with sun umbrellas, sunbeds, small tables, and an outdoor hot water shower. From this vantage point, guests can enjoy a sweeping and evocative panorama over the wooded countryside of the Sienese Montagnola, which gently slopes down toward the Piana di Rosia, a landscape that shifts continuously with the changing shadows and reflections of the sun. In the background, the inactive volcano of Monte Amiata rises majestically at 1,738 metres above sea level, standing as the most important ski resort of southern Tuscany and presiding over the surrounding valleys of the Val d'Orcia and the Maremma.

The villa is divided into three independent flats, in one of which on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with a bathroom suitable for persons with disabilities. The structure was born from the recovery of old farm outbuildings close to the main house where the owners live, who will be, albeit in a discreet manner, a point of reference for all your needs.
The owners, thanks to careful renovation using traditional materials such as wood, terracotta and stone and comfortable furnishings, have ensured that the villa is perfect for spending a comfortable and restful holiday.
Villa Le Balze overlooks on one side a wooden porch, equipped with table and chairs and perfect for your dinners and evenings in company, and the lush garden where you will have a barbecue and a table tennis. On the other side, the house overlooks the swimming pool area (size 6x12 m, depth 1.40 m - open from 10 May to 15 September), which is completely fenced off and for the exclusive use of guests.
