About the host

Hosted by Violante Venturini Del Greco

Host profile image
I am part of the family that has owned and cared for Tenuta Castelnuovo Tancredi for five generations. Hosting guests in our villas is more than a business — it is a way of sharing the extraordinary beauty, history, and spirit of a place that has shaped our lives for centuries. I was born and raised between the countryside and the city, and I have always found my balance in the authenticity of rural Tuscany — its rhythm, its silence, its connection to nature.

I love restoring historic buildings, bringing them back to life without erasing their soul. Every detail you see in Villa Aiale, from the fabrics to the antique furniture, was chosen with that philosophy in mind: understated elegance, never excess.

What I enjoy most about being a host is creating an atmosphere where guests feel not like tourists, but like temporary custodians of a living heritage. When someone leaves Villa Aiale saying they felt “at home,” it is the best compliment I could receive. I hope every stay inspires guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the land — just as my family has done here for generations.

Why they chose this property

The area surrounding Tenuta Castelnuovo Tancredi is one of the most authentic corners of southern Tuscany — suspended between Buonconvento, Montalcino, and the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. It is a place where time slows down, where vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads still define the rhythm of life.

What I love most about this part of Tuscany is its duality: untouched nature and deep culture coexist in perfect harmony. In a single day, you can walk through medieval villages, taste Brunello wine at its source, and return to complete silence under an open sky.

Unlike many resort areas, this landscape remains private, rural, and real. Our estate extends over 600 hectares of organic farmland, offering endless views and absolute privacy, yet we are just minutes from excellent restaurants, local artisans, and the train station in Buonconvento that connects directly to Siena and Florence.

This area embodies everything I value: authenticity, history, and respect for nature. It’s a place where each season has a personality — golden wheat in summer, misty mornings in autumn, crisp light in winter — and where life is still measured by the sound of the wind, not the clock.

What makes this property unique

Villa Aiale stands apart because it combines heritage, design, and integrity within a truly private environment. Restored in 2024 from the estate’s original horse stables, it reflects the philosophy that guides all of Tenuta Castelnuovo Tancredi: preserve the soul of the past while embracing contemporary comfort.

Every architectural element — the vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, oak beams — was restored by local artisans using traditional techniques. The interiors blend antique furniture from the family collection with modern pieces crafted in Tuscany. The result is a house that feels both timeless and alive, where history and modernity coexist naturally.

What truly makes Villa Aiale unique, however, is its setting. The villa sits at the southernmost edge of the estate, entirely private, surrounded by fields, vineyards, and centuries-old oak trees. From every window you see the landscape — not other houses, not roads, just the rolling Tuscan hills and the changing light.

The estate itself is fully organic, practicing sustainable agriculture long before it became fashionable. Guests can enjoy wine tastings in the 18th-century cellar, explore private walking trails, or simply experience what we call the luxury of silence.

For those seeking authenticity, elegance, and privacy — this is not a rental, but a home with a story.
