Although situated on a large estate with other luxury villa rentals, this Tuscany luxury villa is unique for its private setting and beautiful views. The estate's vast private land borders a National Park so it is not uncommon to spy deer, pheasants, and other wild game. Beautifully landscaped with native flora, the grounds of this luxury villa rental in Tuscany include a lovely swimming pool surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs. It is an ideal spot to enjoy peace, quiet, and spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside. This is a great Tuscany luxury accommodation for a large group or family because each beautifully furnished bedroom has its own large en suite bathroom. There are trails and dirt roads on the estate for jogging or walking. Conveniently located in Southern Tuscany, it is possible to take day trips to Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza, and Cortona, as well as destinations in Umbria, such as Perugia, Orvieto, and Todi. You can arrange to have a cook prepare meals in your own home, or drive 8 minutes into the nearby town for dinner.

(2000 acres) An 11th century abbey is the focal point of this estate. There are eleven independent, Tuscan luxury villa rentals decorated in a similar minimalist, architectural style. Each villa is separate and private from other structures, and each has a wonderful view. Casa La Volpe is a beautifully restored 16th century stone farmhouse located at the foot of the Cetona Mountain. There are views of the Abbey and the house is surrounded by trees and gardens. There is a private swimming pool (6m x 12m) with a changing room, bathroom with shower, and ping-pong table next to the house. There is a large tree providing shade in the pool area.
