Property Summary
Nestled just 3 kilometers from the historic center of Siena, in the heart of Italy's most celebrated Tuscan landscape, La Fonte di Santa Regina is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends ancient character with contemporary luxury. Perched atop a scenic hill and embraced by rolling expanses of vineyards, olive groves, and cultivated fields, this magnificent estate offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Monte Amiata to the iconic Torre del Mangia. At the heart of the property stands a beautifully restored farmhouse, where exposed stone, warm wood, and carefully selected modern materials come together in a refined balance of tradition and minimalist design. Spacious, light-filled interiors are appointed with thoughtfully curated furnishings and the highest quality finishes, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance throughout.

The beautifully maintained park of approximately 1,500 square meters surrounds the residence, offering generous outdoor spaces for relaxation and recreation. Within the estate grounds, a separate annex building houses a large multipurpose hall suitable for events, conferences, and private ceremonies, as well as a dedicated wellness area. When the property is rented in this configuration, no other guests will be present on site. Starting in 2026, the first floor of the villa, accessible via an adjacent private entrance, will be occupied by the owners, a young couple who are generally away for work but available if needed; they will share only the driveway and parking area with guests, while the park and swimming pool remain for the exclusive use of guests.

The expertly designed park of around 1,500 square meters surrounds the house with winding paths bordered by flowering bushes of aromatic herbs, leading to the two ground floor entrances of the villa. Manicured lawns, young olive and cypress trees, and abundant plantings of lavender, rosemary, myrtle, and sage adorn the walkways that connect the various outdoor living areas. Two gazebos, positioned on either side of the house in a panoramic setting, offer shaded retreats with sweeping views, while a charming seating area at the entrance to the pool zone invites quiet moments of relaxation. A children's play area and a ping-pong table provide entertainment for younger guests, and a wood oven together with a dedicated barbecue area complete the outdoor amenities.

The swimming pool area is reached from the house via a short walk across the garden and a brief flight of steps, or alternatively along a paved walkway. This natural scenic terrace, framed by rows of olive trees and vineyards stretching toward the peaks of Monte Amiata and the Torre del Mangia, is home to a stunning south-facing non-heated infinity pool that is particularly captivating at sunset and after dark, when a sophisticated interplay of interior and exterior lighting creates a truly magical atmosphere. The pool is edged with travertine slabs and lined in PVC featuring an innovative design inspired by the natural element of marble, lending it a unique and iridescent quality that shifts with the natural light.

Fragrant climbing plants, lemon trees, and beds of geraniums adorn every corner of the garden, while the olive grove extends across the majority of the property's 10,000 square meters. The pergola in front of the living and dining room, covered in trumpet vines, Virginia creeper, and wisteria, provides an enchanting setting for outdoor dining and savouring the culinary delicacies of Tuscany. A veranda at the front of the house, shaded by climbing Virginia creeper, offers a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying a glass of local wine. Throughout the garden, seats and benches have been positioned in the most scenic spots to allow you to contemplate the magnificent hilly landscape at leisure. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival. The non-heated swimming pool, open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, is positioned just 10 metres from the house in a south-facing, panoramic corner of the property that offers a magical and unforgettable view over the gentle hills and the borgo of San Gimignano. The rectangular pool measures 8 x 4 metres with a constant depth of 1.50 metres and features a large step and a ladder for water access. The border is finished in travertine marble, while the inner lining is in light-coloured PVC. The pool is purified with chlorine and is equipped with an outdoor cold-water shower, as well as lighting both inside the pool and in the surrounding area. The sunbathing area adjacent to the pool is furnished with sunbeds and an umbrella for your comfort.
