    Come and discover this unspoiled and magnificent area of Tuscany known as the Orcia Valley where you will be enchanted by the views, the cuisine, the wine and the history. This is what we call the secret area of Tuscany that only the most discerning discover. Harvest time is in September and the true Tuscany comes alive! Villa Castelrotto is decorated in what we call the "RusticLux decor" and accomodates up to 14 adults or 16 with children either on a sofa bed or a baby cot. Once a famous photographer ,who is also a dear family friend, referred to our farmhouses as Rustic Lux and emphasized that we have lovingly managed to maintain the true flavor of Tuscany. The house has 2 separate entrances and is completely surrounded by nature and can accommodate up to 14 adults and 2 extra children, in 7 double bedrooms . There is the small dependance farmhouse with an extra 2 bedrooms, to guarantee complete privacy offering 18 guests total, this has an extra fee to guarantee total privacy. A beautiful swimming pool in the center of the complex has a unique view of the valley overlooking the olive groves. A large room on the ground floor of the villa that we fondly refer to as the "museum room" has been recently restored respecting in every way its country roots and is used for dining on cooler evenings.

    There is a downstairs kitchen in front of the covered pergola which makes it easy to keep your drinks cool for when you want to sit out in the garden or by the pool.

    This luxury location in Tuscany is much more than a farmhouse villa, and is ideal for your holiday in the province of Siena. No roads or traffic noises will disturb your holiday in the oasis of this hamlet called Borgo Castelrotto. The surrounding romantic landscape of Val d’Orcia is a mix of natural woodland and delightful rural views, with pastures, vineyards and olive trees, the symbol of Siena, that give excellent local Tuscan products such as wine, cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. There are great paths for walking, hiking, jogging or horseback riding nearby.

    Villa Castelrotto refers to the main house for up to 14 guests. Maximum capacity 18 guests when taking the small cottage in the garden as well to make this entire borgo exclusively yours!

    About Lee Venturini Del Greco

    This property is part of the organic wine farm of Castelnuovo Tancredi, and this hamlet where the Villa /Farmhouse is, was renovated about 10 years ago. Every year we make improvements to keep it comfortable for our guests. This should be your home away from home and we will try to do everything to make your stay with us as memorable as possibile. On the estate, which encompasses over 600 hectares of this territory, we grow grapes for our organic wine production, organic cereals such as wheat, alfalfa and barley, and maintain the animal reserve where we have reeboks, pheasants, jack rabbits and wild boar! I am a sommelier master level and love to talk about our wine production to eager listeners and wine lovers.

    What makes this Farmhouse unique

    Annabelle Moseley says it so perfectly in "A Tuscan Countryside": "Drive as a passenger through Tuscany, and even if you squint or fall asleep, but catch brief glances, through curtained blinks, still you will see rows of green and cream-yellow fields, vineyards, grey crooked branches pointing to the soil like rows of gnarled , arthritic fingers poised above piano keys. You'll catch the green guard of cypress trees, thin as pipe cleaners, straight as hard-backed chairs. Farmhouses, roofed in rust and terra-cotta, bodied in hazel hues, paths that meander through the fields like sienna colored snakes among the wheat fields and olive groves.Hills will always interrupt the valleys-bends will surprise roads, and even in winter, fields are crowded with the sleep of sunflowers waiting for August!" This will be your absolute favorite vacation of all, and we guarantee that you won't want to leave! In the cottage in the garden , called the Fienile, there are 2 double bedrooms, and 2 ensuite bathrooms, both have showers , and bidet with wc and sink. This is available as well is you would like to have the exclusivity of the entire hamlet. You can inquire with us if needed.
