About this property

Romantic Tuscan Holiday Retreat

Casa Etruria is the 13th century gate house and guard tower in the ancient borgo of Trequanda (Siena). The house is in the heart of Tuscany's Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. After two years of renovations it features a chic modern home inside its ancient stone walls, with every modern convenience, lots of original charm and the most beautiful Tuscan sunsets viewed from the balcony.

Trequanda is a small medieval village well-adapted to the 21st century. It has an award-winning restaurant, a bakery, grocery store, bar and pharmacy. The area features abundant historical sights and some of the most beautiful scenery in Tuscany. It is perfect for wine and food holidays with the winery centres of Montalcino and Montepulciano short trips away and abundant artisanal cheese and olive oil producers nearby. The area is famous for biking holidays, walks along the Via Francigena, and natural thermal spas. Because of its natural beauty, Val d'Orcia has been a setting for famous movies (The English Patient and The Gladiator to mention two) . Florence and Siena are less than an hour away and the Tuscan coast, home to many of the great Super Tuscan wines, is a day trip away.

Great village location
Historic village house in a village with cafe and restaurants. House is well appointed and cycling friendly - we asked the owner and there was a place we could store our bikes. Great countryside base for visiting the must-see places in Tuscany.
Stayed 7 nights in May 2024

Why they chose this property

A group of friends set up a small harpsichord academy in the neighbouring village of Montisi some 20 years ago. Over the years we have made many friends and have come to love the area and its interesting history.
