About this property
Panorama and infinity pool in the Siena Province, south of Montepulciano
Stunning view. This stone house offers a big luxurious kitchen, a huge terrace and salt water infinity-pool en-suite. It is rare to find the pool as a natural extension of house and terrace. This magnificent independent house on 4 hectars private terrain with panoramic view of the Chiana Valley including the 2 lakes, Trasimeno and Chiusi, is surrounded by newly planted vines and olive trees. "Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" at hand on the terrace for your Italian cooking.
The house sits on a hill above Sarteano only 2 km away. Sarteano is a traditional and genuine Tuscan town with 5000 inhabitants offering 10+ restaurants, bars, a decent COOP super marked, butcher, bakery, fresh pasta store etc.
The A - Z renovation finished in June 2016 and being brought up to date in spring 2019. The 3 story house has 3 double rooms (two of which can sleep 3) and a single room, 3 bathrooms, 1 toilet, 1 outdoor shower. Luxurious and cozy kitchen with open fire place and a long wooden dinner table that sits 10, sitting room with fireplace and balcony. From the kitchen you walk straight onto the terrace equipped with outdoor furniture and a BBQ. The infinity pool is an integral part of the terrace area from where you have a breath taking view of the valley and the lakes. The lower floor has its own kitchen suitable for those desiring a semi-separate unit.
The philosophy of the renovation has been to go for natural materials with an emphasis on solid wood and travertine. Tuscan stile with a Nordic element and a scent of the Middle East. You will find solid oak wood and travertine floors, Armenian hand painted tiles, Phillip Starck sanitation, solid wooden 4 cm. table top and 90 cm wide SMEG stove in the kitchen. Every item in the interior decoration has been chosen with care by the owners, some are uniquely tailor-made for the house.
You can expect extremely friendly reception and service by our local Sarteano "maitre" , who can also arrange a babysitter or private chef for you if so desired. Linens, mid-week cleaning service and change of towels is included.
You can take walks or cycle in the woods behind the house or visit Tuscan sites like La Foce which is famous for it's park, or nearby villages such as Pienza, Montepulciano, Radicofani, Cetona and Chiusi or visit thermal baths in Bagno Vignoni, San Casciano dei Bagni and Bagni San Filippo.
The house is easy accessible just 8 km. from the Chiusi/Chianchiano exit from the main highway between Rome and Florenze, A1. Only the last 300 m. to the house are on our private road. Chiusi train station is 10 km away with direct connections to Florence, Rome and Siena.
Starting 2023 season the house will have AC in 3 bedrooms and the living room.

This villa is beautiful and even better than expected! The views are breathtaking. The location makes travel to other areas and wineries easy for exploring. We loved the village of Sarteano as it is not filled with tourists. Jens was amazing at replying to us quickly and recommending restaurants and things to do and see. Don’t miss out on having Jens contact Assumta to come to the villa and cook a wonderful Italian meal. It was delicious and a lot of fun. Thanks, Jens, for a wonderful time in Tuscany!

Location & quality of the stay were excellent. You are basically at 1-2h from all places to be seen in the south part of Tuscany. The Trasimeno lake can be seen from the windows. We really enjoyed our two weeks vacation with my family.

Thank you - also for your valuable input, I'm now in the house and the coffee machine is definately in need of an update along with the other improvements you pointed out.
I hope we will welcome you back at some point and till then thank you for coming.
Cheers
Jens
We had a lovely two-week stay here with four adults and two children (5 and 3). This house is perfectly situated to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a country retreat with gorgeous views of the valley, while also being 20-90 minutes away from Tuscany’s best villages. This area is steeped in history and culture, wonderful food and wine, and natural beauty. There is plenty to do and see for adults and children. We were very sad to leave this morning. Jens is a communicative and attentive host. To note, the road up to the property is rustic, so be prepared with a good rental car.

Hi Anna,
Thank you very much, we are very glad you had a good time and hope to welcome you back in the future. I will pass on your compliments to Lucia.
The season is coming to an end so we are heading towards Sarteano next week, the fall is lovely too, and there is always a bit of maintenance and a couple of improvements to keep us busy over the winter.
All the best

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jens' beautiful home and cannot recommend it enough. No picture could do justice to the views - they are simply breathtaking. The house is finished to a very high standard and the pool area is fantastic.

Communication with ownership was fantastic. The home is built with attention to detail and every inch luxurious. From the structure to the furnishings all first class. A fireflies are romantic. We saw a wild pig, toad and turtles. we enjoyed hanging our clothes out to dry on the clothes Lines. We cooked in this gorgeous kitchen, fantastic stove on large dining table and we ate in the most beautiful restaurants. The home is very spacious and well furnished four seasons quality linens. We highly recommend. housekeeping was a big bonus. The pool was super nice.

The villa is beautiful; very clean, spacious, with highly equipped luxurious kitchen and comfortable beds! The views from the villa are breath-taking and the pool area is lovey. The are many nice places to visit but we especially enjoyed Montepulciano, Cetona, the hot springs at Bagno San Filippo and the hike from the villa to Castiglioncello del Trinoro.
Jens was extremely friendly, prompt with communication and helpful. We would definitely recommend a stay at this property!

We really can't say enough positive things about our villa experience in Sarteano. The cool and quiet of the early morning and the great view of the sunrise were wonderful. The home is private and very comfortable and the refreshing pool was an enjoyable and frequent gathering spot for our family. Sarteano is charming and a great location to launch daytrips throughout Tuscany. The host and his local staff are exceptional and go above and beyond an excellent standard of service.

This villa far exceeded our expectations, and we were sad to leave! Communication with the owner was exceptional, and check-in was quite easy. The owner arranged a cooking class for us with Assumta during our stay, which was great fun - highly recommend this experience!
The villa itself was well-appointed with everything you might need during a stay. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and modern.
The views were amazing, with the villa situated on a forested hill overlooking a valley. We would highly recommend this villa for a trip to Sarteano!

As stunning as the pictures of this property are, they really do not do it justice. I fell in love with the views and the town of Sarteano. My husband fell in love with the surrounding area and day trips. My son was a huge fan of the luxury of the property and my daughter spent time in the pool every day. Thanks for an unforgettable experience.

Stunningly beautiful house! The views, the interior design, the fabulous kitchen, all perfect
We all loved this house! It is gorgeously designed, inside & out. The views are spectacular, & the location is the ideal spot for a quiet home base from which you can explore Tuscany on short day trips. There is hiking, including a gorgeous hike to a fabulous lunch at Hotel Monteverdi. We also had a wonderful chef, Assunta, come one night to the house who taught us all how to make fresh pasta, among other delicious dishes. This was a perfect vacation. I hope to go back someday. Highly recommend!!!!

Beautiful Villa on the hillside overlooking Tuscany. Stunning views. Updated furnishings, a wonderful kitchen that opens onto the patio and glorious pool. We spent every night on the porch star gazing with a glass of wine. Short drive to town, close to Montepulciano and Pienza! Both Jens and Lucia were extremely friendly, prompt with communication and helpful. Lucia's restaurant was one of our favorite dinners out in Italy. We can't wait to come back!

Our first trip to Tuscany and Sarteano is the sweetest village steeped in history and beauty. Jens is such a pleasant attentive host with a great team. The house is beautifully designed and comfortable with spectacular views and a stunning infinity pool set in the forest surrounding the property. Quite secluded which gave plenty of peace and tranquility yet nearby to the most charming village. We had a wonderful stay with our children of varying ages. Would definitely rate this as one of our most memorable holidays. Thank you Jens and all the team

Four weeks of bliss in Tuscany and Sarteano was the perfect location. Unspoiled by tourists yet close enough to Siena, Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano and more. The villa is perfect; beautifully appointed, comfortable and clean. The pool is delightful and the views simply gorgeous! Don't miss sunrise from the upstairs bedrooms. Jens is terrific; responsive, patient and accommodating with all my questions and requests. Amazing host and property. Perfect 5-star ratings all around. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
Everything about this villa is outstanding. The location is amazing with fantastic views and amazing privacy. The owner and managers were both responsive and proactive in making sure everything was easy and comfortable. The villa is equipped with very modern appliances, sound system etc. Day trips to Montepulciano, Montalcino, and all the other spectacular sites in the Sarteano area were easy and convenient. Finally, the hike over the mountain behind the villa is special and, if you are a birder, extra special- bring your binoculars!

Hi Warren, thank you for the kind review. I think you made the most of it despite the somewhat unseasonable weather - and I have to say you are the first to point out that the mountain ridge behind the house is great for birds, really a Nature Reserve :-)

Jens
The view from this beautiful property was beyond lovely. The home was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen was well stocked with useful items and we appreciated the number of bathrooms available for the bedrooms. The town of Sarteano was a very nice small town with easy access to many other sites and areas to visit.
Lucia was very helpful and helped us get a wonderful chef for an authentic Italian home cooked meal. He was exceptionally professional and the food was marvelous. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at Lucia’s restaurant where the ravioli cannot be missed!
This beautiful rental property was perfect for our dream vacation in Tuscany!

My family and I had an unforgettable stay in this beautiful house: everything was great: the house itself, situated in the Tuscan woods with breathtaking views over the valley, the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the beautiful living room, the large well fitted kitchen, the lovely pool. It had everything you could wish for. The contact with Jens was great troughout the whole period, from the date of reservation until the end of our stay. He is a very nice man. Celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with our daughters and sons in law we made unforgettable memories.

We had a fantastic stay at Jens and Lise’s villa. From the start, communicating with Jens was very easy. He’s prompt answering your questions to make the stay as easy as possible. As others have described, the villa sits high above the valley giving you spectacular views. We spent many late afternoons with local wine just staring out at the gorgeous countryside. The villa itself is very clean and comes with all necessary amenities. Even with extreme Tuscan temperatures, the air conditioning (and the pool!) kept us comfortable. Sarteano makes a great base for visiting some of the smaller, less crowded villages. I highly recommend the villa and Jens’ hospitality to anyone.

Hi Chris, Thank you for the kind feed back, we hope to welcome you back some other time.
As soon as we saw the villa appear in its secluded location at the top of the drive, it took our breath away. We then opened the doors onto the balcony in the lounge and seeing the lakes, mountains and forests beneath us made us realise why we’d booked this villa. The week’s stay helped us recharge our batteries, idyllic and peaceful. The villa was well equipped, spacious and exceptionally clean. Sarteano centre is 2 miles away and has a lot to offer and easier by car due to the hill climb back to the villa. We explored many beautiful places during our stay: Montepulciano, Pienza, Casciano. We would definitely recommend this villa to others and wished we could have stayed longer.
