Villa Tirelli is a stunning converted farmhouse in a superb tranquil setting in the Val D’Orcia, southern Tuscany. Located just south of Siena by the spa town of San Casciano dei Bagni, this exceptional villa combines elegant country charm and comfort within spacious grounds, while being in a key position for exploring this enchanting Italian region.

Arriving by way of a country road, your heart will skip a beat as you see Villa Tirelli come into view for the first time. It is Tuscany at its best with its beautifully restored original stone walls, terraces, cypress trees, olive grove.

A well-maintained lawn, ideal for ball games or enjoying a peaceful moment, extends to one side of the house. Up a few steps from the garden is the most incredible pool terrace with its inviting pool which can be heated for extra comfort. A scenic stone waterfall, pergola and incredible views across the countryside set a magical scene as you have a refreshing swim or relax on a lounger.

Long summer lunches and siestas outside under the shade of a pergola are essential to experiencing the best of Villa Tirelli. The only decision is which part of the garden to choose! Morning coffee overlooking the olive groves, dinner together under the large portico by the kitchen, a siesta or prosecco by the pool while admiring the panoramic views at sunset over the lake – the choice is yours.

The interiors are deceptively spacious, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests. Full of charm and classic rural style with its beamed ceilings, original stone floors, antique furniture and original works of art, it is a pleasing blend of essential modern comforts such as air conditioning and WiFi, alongside contemporary design and traditional Tuscan aesthetic.

The ground floor feels spacious and light with French windows out to the garden from an attractive living room with its cushioned sofas and open fireplace, while an archway takes you to the dining room and superb country kitchen, a dream for budding chefs and foodies with its array of equipment, a large fridge and hob. For a memorable meal, try the cook service for a taste of local cuisine in the comfort of your own home.

Villa Tirelli works equally well for a group of friends or family group as there are five bedrooms, four of which are double and the fifth is a twin. Each one is unique in style and furnished for comfort. The master suite on the ground floor would be ideal for grandparents or a couple while the double and twin bedroom upstairs is perfect for parents with two young children.
