Description
Property Summary
Nestled on a hill 350 metres above sea level in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Amandula is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the rich heritage of the surrounding landscape. The name Amandula derives from the ancient local jargon "màndula", meaning almond, a reference to the precious fruit that once dominated this territory and formed a cornerstone of the traditional peasant diet. Built in 2019 according to zero-impact construction principles, the villa celebrates local craftsmanship through the use of handmade terracotta, chestnut beams, and oak parquet, all set within modern, linear, and entirely white interiors where deliberately oversized windows allow natural light to flood every room, transforming it into a living element of the décor. Located within a working farm dedicated to the production of extra virgin olive oil, Amandula enjoys a private and tranquil position overlooking a breathtaking rural landscape of olive groves, vineyards, and dense woodland, with the silhouette of Monte Amiata, an ancient extinct volcano, defining the horizon between the provinces of Grosseto and Siena. The property offers complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, a generous private yard extending across 3,000 square metres of landscaped garden, a stunning outdoor swimming pool, and a dedicated uncovered parking area with space for 3 cars, all contributing to an experience of refined comfort and absolute serenity in one of Italy's most evocative natural settings.

The outdoor spaces of Villa Amandula are as thoughtfully designed as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. The property sits within a sloping 2-hectare park planted with olive trees, oaks, almond trees, and wooded areas, enclosed by large-mesh pasture netting intended primarily to ensure privacy and limit access by unauthorised individuals. The 3,000 square metres of garden immediately surrounding the villa are laid to lawn and dotted with olive trees, lavender, and rosemary, creating a fragrant and visually harmonious setting throughout the seasons. A pergola at the entrance provides a shaded and elegantly equipped outdoor dining area, while a brick barbecue with a convenient integrated sink offers the perfect setting for al fresco cooking. A panoramic, north-facing portico furnished with armchairs and a sofa invites relaxation at any hour of the day, framing views across the valley towards Monte Amiata. The uncovered parking area, accommodating up to 3 vehicles, is located at the end of a gravel driveway, just 5 metres from the main entrance door beneath the pergola. The rectangular swimming pool, non-heated and fenced for safety, occupies a lower terrace approximately 30 metres from the villa and is accessible from the porch and the parking area by crossing the garden and descending stone slabs. Measuring 12 x 5 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, the pool is finished in sand-coloured PVC with a porous terracotta border and is equipped with an angular Roman staircase, underwater illumination, and a solar shower. The surrounding sunbathing area, paved in terracotta and framed by a border of lawn and olive trees, is furnished with sunbeds, umbrellas, and tables. The pool is sanitised with chlorine and remains open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October, offering an unobstructed view of the Amiata profiles and the suggestive sunsets that unfold across the horizon.

Property Summary
Nestled along the breathtaking coastline of Castelsardo, in the heart of Sardinia, Italy, Villa Ambra is an exceptional vacation rental that combines contemporary elegance with the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean. Completely redesigned and renovated in 2012, the villa embraces a sophisticated "Total White" aesthetic enriched by striking references to the colours of the sea, from deep ultramarine to shimmering aquamarine. Sardinian wax ceramics in dramatic Mediterranean blue tones have been inlaid into polished white floors, while the common areas throughout the property maintain the same refined palette of white with ceramic inserts in shades of blue and aquamarine. Several furnishings, including tables, have been specially designed and hand-crafted with a modern white structure and Cerasarda mosaic inserts, typical of the region, achieving a contemporary effect that simultaneously honours the local artistic tradition. The villa has also been designed to optimise energy sources, enabling use in maximum respect for the environment. The property is set within an approximately 8,000 square metre park and offers guests access to a private synthetic grass tennis court with night lighting, high-speed Internet WiFi connectivity, and a generous yard richly planted with typical Sardinian palm trees, date palms, lentiscus, myrtle, and helichrysum. The resort is situated within the area known as "Punta Tramontana," or Sunset Point, where the sun sets later than in the rest of Italy and in June descends at approximately 21:45, painting the sky in extraordinary shades of orange and red over the Gulf of Asinara.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Ambra are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty and thoughtfully designed recreational areas. The approximately 8,000 square metre park is a lush Mediterranean landscape featuring dozens of typical Sardinian palm trees, ten date palms, lentiscus, myrtle, and helichrysum. 2 very large verandas provide generous covered spaces, each furnished with a 12-seater table, seating areas, and a gym.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the eastern slope of the tuff cliff that embraces Orvieto, one of Italy's most captivating art cities, Podere Torre delle Sorgenti is a truly extraordinary vacation rental born from the meticulous restoration of a historic 16th-century dovecote tower, a project entrusted to architect Martin Stubenrauch. The result is a residence of absolute originality, where centuries of history meet refined modern design in a setting of rare natural beauty. Orvieto itself, famously described as "the tall, strange city," appears from a distance as though suspended in the sky, and from the property you need only raise your eyes to take in the imposing walls of this fascinating city with nearly three thousand years of history. Inside, the interiors are distinguished by light-coloured wooden ceilings with iron beams, parquet and fine terracotta flooring, and a striking glass staircase connecting the 2 floors. The property is surrounded by a generous yard of 1.5 hectares, thoughtfully landscaped across terraces of Etruscan origin and filled with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring you remain connected during your stay. A dedicated 3-car parking area, accessible through an automatic gate, is conveniently located at the entrance to the villa, offering secure and effortless arrival.

The outdoor spaces of Podere Torre delle Sorgenti are as carefully considered as the interiors, offering a seamless transition between the natural landscape and the comforts of the property. In front of the large openable windows on the ground floor, 2 distinct areas for outdoor dining have been set up, each equipped with umbrellas, tables, and chairs, complemented by a built-in barbecue and a convenient sink. On the first floor, a charming outdoor living area shaded by a pergola features a sofa and coffee table, offering a breathtaking view towards the tuff cliff and the Fortezza Albornoz of Orvieto, the perfect spot to savour a glass of local wine in pleasant company. The 1.5-hectare garden extends over several terraces of Etruscan origin, following the natural slope of the land and embellished with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs located just a few metres from the first-floor entrance. Please note that photographs of the garden were taken in spring, so the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The beautiful rectangular swimming pool, which is for the exclusive use of guests and is non-heated, occupies a terrace at a lower level than the house, approximately 25 metres away and reached via a flight of 21 steps. Set in an extremely secluded position overlooking the surrounding woodland, the pool was obtained from a historic agricultural fountain and measures 3.5 x 5.5 metres with a constant depth of 1.20 metres. It features chlorine purification, a metal ladder for water access, and is lined with grey osmotic cement to confer a natural aesthetic, with a border of grey stone in the typical "basaltina di Bagnoregio" style, while the solarium area is paved in terracotta. Both internal and external lighting are available, and the solarium is equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs, an umbrella, and a solar shower. A natural spring runs alongside the pool, and the gentle, continuous sound of flowing water adds a deeply relaxing atmosphere to the space. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday of October.

The outdoor spaces of Villa Monnalisa are a natural extension of the villa's refined interior, designed to invite relaxation and convivial living in a setting of extraordinary beauty. Accessible directly from the kitchen and dining room, a stone-paved external zone hosts a fully equipped outdoor dining area and a comfortable living area furnished with sofas and armchairs, all surrounded by borders of aromatic herbs and colourful flowers and sheltered beneath the canopy of ancient olive trees.

The non-heated rectangular swimming pool, measuring 5 by 16 metres with a depth of 1.40 metres, is positioned on the crest of the hill just 20 metres from the villa, offering a breathtaking panoramic view over the medieval borgo of Vinci. Lined in sand-coloured PVC and featuring Roman steps, interior lighting, and an automatic cleaning and salt purification system, the pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. The paved panoramic solarium surrounding the pool is equipped with sunbeds and deckchairs shaded by a sail, and an outdoor shower is available for guests' convenience. The wider estate, with its olive groves and vineyards, completes an outdoor environment of rare tranquillity and natural elegance.
