Villa il Santo, luxury villa rental near Golf dell Ugolino, Tuscany, Italy.

 

Villa il Santo is set in a beautiful countryside location close to the town of Barberino Val d'Elsa. We bought it and refurbished it four years ago because the great success met by Villa Castellare, our other rental property, resulted in the need to open another facility, allowing us to satisfy the needs of a growing clientele. We live about a 10 minute drive from the villa with our three children, and are always pleased to assist our guests with their tours, sightseeing, museum bookings, wine tasting, restaurant selection and shopping, focusing on making their holidays a delightful experience.

 

We present our beautifully restored villa, Il Santo, comprised of two buildings: a magnificent tower and the original hay barn, connected by a glass corridor but rented as one independent villa. The villa, with a separate studio apartment at pool level and seven double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms can accommodate 16 guests. A very well equipped large kitchen, huge dining room and several living rooms complete the interior offering and an assortment of furnished outdoor areas and al fresco dining terrace entice you to linger outdoors.

 

A typically Italian garden, with lawns adorned with roses, jasmine and indigenous plants and flowers offers our guests different areas to relax in with complete privacy. The infinity swimming pool with its annexed Jacuzzi overlooks the amazing Chianti countryside. Vineyards changing colours with the seasons and the silhouetted towers of the San Gimignano skyline on the horizon, guarantee complete relaxation under the Tuscan sun.

 

We are at your service and can provide arrangements for many activities and interests. Cycling through the countryside is sublime, no matter the season...golfing greens are nearby and tee-off times are easily booked... there are Italian recipes to learn and cooking classes can be organized...

 

Interested in wines? Wine tastings and visits to vineyards can be planned.. Musical concerts of interest?
