Arcidosso 602

Those who are looking for the perfect countryside escape nestled in the most picturesque spot that boasts extraordinary views over the famous Tuscan landscape, should consider the unbelievably charming La Campanina. This gorgeous villa is located just 6 kilometres from the well-known spa town of Saturnia and is an idyllic Easy Reserve listing for those seeking tranquillity and comfort.

A perfect base for exploring the wonders of the region on holiday in Tuscany, La Campanina is positioned a short distance from the historic thermal springs of Saturnia, renowned for their rejuvenating properties, and day trip distance away from some of Italy's most popular destinations. Montalcino, with its rich history and beloved wines, is 66 kilometres away and Montepulciano, Civitavecchia, Siena, and Cortona can all be readily visited from the property. Those looking to go further afield during their time in Tuscany could plan to set aside a long day and embark on a grand adventure to Florence, Rome, Venice, and Milan from the villa.

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.

A spacious garden hugged by cypresses and other densely green trees, views of rolling hills and lush Tuscan landscapes all around, a private pool, a terracotta roof, a pretty and traditional Tuscan kitchen, charming bedrooms finished with detail and care, high exposed-beam ceilings, a nice little covered area for dining al fresco, lots of rooms with direct exits out onto the terrace... all of this and more is what you can expect from the gorgeous and wonderfully and typically Tuscan Villa La Fragola (meaning Strawberry Villa) just 500m outside the village of Chianacce, 19km (12 miles) from Montepulciano. Positioned in an especially scenic and peaceful part of the world that is ideal for those looking to get away from it all and relax on their vacation, this gem allows you to get a real taste of the charming and slow-paced life of rural Tuscany while also being ideally located just 5km from the highway and allowing easy access to many of the region’s most famous destinations and attractions. Those who choose Villa La Fragola, therefore, will get the best of both worlds – the restful escape into the dreamy Tuscan countryside and plenty of opportunities to play the serious tourist and tick some key sights off of your bucket list. In addition to Montepulciano being just 19km (12 miles) away, other nearby cities include Cortona 20km (12 miles) away, Arezzo 45km (28 miles) away, Montalcino 52km (32 miles) away, and Perugia 62km (39 miles) away.
