The stunning landscape of rolling hills and lush greenery of Tuscany is an innately inspiring place that can border on seeming unreal or like paradise, particularly the gorgeous Orcia Valley. In fact, if you find a villa in the Orcia Valley, you will easily see how beautiful it really is and understand why it was chosen for two very famous and pivotal scenes in Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning masterpiece, Gladiator. An enduring icon in the cinematic world over the past two decades, it was set in Ancient Rome but was filmed in locations across England, Morocco, and Malta, reconstructions of Ancient Roman cities and landmarks, and Tuscany's enchanting Orcia Valley.

Guest Reviews for Villa Scannelli
The highlight of our first visit to Tuscany"
After a frenetic stay in Florence it was just super to stay in this wonderful home which is very much off the beaten track. Guiseppa is an elegant, relaxed and helpful host who immediately makes you feel at home in this wonderful house perched on a hill top with wonderful views everywhere you look.
We had dinner there on the night we arrived with other guests from Spain, Denmark and Austria which turned out to be a great dinner party with really nice food and wine. Breakfast each morning was had in the courtyard outside where again everyone met up and chatted like old friends.
The house and grounds were really well maintained and the pool would be a lovely place to swim and spend time during summer days.
Any disappointments? Yes.
We should have stayed longer than the two nights we booked! Would love to have a return visit if we get back to Tuscany. Thanks again Guiseppa
