About this property

Hilltop house in the heart of Tuscany with private pool

This 'home' in Tuscany is a carefully restored and enlarged farm building dating back to the 18th century. Its hilltop setting between olive groves and wheat fields, just 1.5km outside historic Montisi, gives it a unique 'away-from-it-all feeling'. Yet the hamlet's bakery, grocery shop, bar/tabac and restaurants are just a leisurely 15 min stroll away between cypresses and olive trees. Views are stunning, with the area around the private pool particularly good for enjoying sunsets.
This is not a 'develop to let' property, but a house that for seven years served as a 'home' when the owners were posted overseas and is now their holiday home.
It is arranged over three floors;
- The top floor comprises a double bed room with en suite bathroom
- The first floor mirrors the top floor, except that it is laid out as a twin bedroom, with en suite shower/bathroom
- The ground floor offers fantastic views over the rolling country side and includes a 25 X 12 ft living room with a well stocked library and fireplace, as well as a fully equipped kitchen with a beautiful breakfast terrace.

Lovely home with spectacular views! The home greatly exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed for our 6 day. When not our touring the charming small Tuscany towns, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the back porch and pool area. We kept the windows open and enjoyed the sweet breezes blowing through. If you're looking the perfect home to rent in Tuscany, this is the one.

Did not use pool. Too chilly. Laundry was great!! Loved the quaint village of Montisi. Views from villa were stunning. Adi gave great service. Had to have hot water looked at and he offered to pick us up in Chuisi from train station!!1 thing was lots of cob webs and killed several big spiders and centipede. Maybe they were all trying to find warmth with the cooler weather. Catherine was alway helpful with great info planning our trip. Thanks for the great time!

This is a great property in a lovely peaceful location. The property has everything you need for a stay including all kitchen equipment, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Outside there are plenty of places to sit, eat or just relax, and the pool is a really good size and such a great thing to have on hot days.The useful grocery shop in Montisi village has a surprisingly good selection of products for such a small shop, including a deli counter. Lots of good places to eat locally, and some stunning nearby towns such as Montalcino and Montepulciano.Further afield you can easily make a day trip to Florence or Rome via train from Chiusi.We would love to return some time to explore the area further!

We had a lovely time at Villa La Torre. The villa itself had everything you needed and it could have been easy to spend a week just relaxing and reading all of the wonderful books that were available or cooking with all the appliances needed for creating culinary delights! The area was peaceful and quiet. All that could be heard were the birds you could watch from the beautiful and vast view whilst sitting and relaxing over a BBQ and a glass of wine. On clear days we could see Sienna! Catherine our host was extremely helpful making check in and out easy and straightforward and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. The pool was lovely, clean and a good size to play and swim. Our daughter spent many hours playing around in the pool and we explored the nearby towns off the advice from the host in the very informative welcome pack. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. We will hopefully be back!

Perfect location for a relaxing holiday.

We had a wonderful stay, the location was perfect for a short 15 minute walk into Montisi. The countryside setting was lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful nature, watching the deer every evening was delightful. We hope to return in the future.

Even better than the pictures

My husband and I had a lovely stay for a week in this villa. The house and the location were perfect. Even better than we saw in the pictures. There is a large terrace in front of the house with shade and a perfect view (with sunsets) were we sat most of the day. The swimming pool was also great and you could always choose between sun or shade next to the pool. It was very quiet. No noice from traffic or anything else (except from the birds, the peacocks and crickets :-)) We have stayed in a quite a number of villas over the years (France, Spain, Italy) but this villa is definitely in our top 3.Montisi is a small but charming village. It is a 3 minute drive from the villa along a small path. You can find a bakery, a small supermarket and a very nice restaurant there. The only down side was the very hot bedroom. I understood though that the owner plans to put AC in. If that is the case than we certainly would like to go back here!

An ideal base for a wonderful Tuscan holiday!

We loved our week at this beautiful house in Montisi. It’s in an ideal location : secluded in gorgeous countryside but a short drive from the town and close to so many beautiful Tuscan towns and villages. The house is really well set up and the views from the bedrooms and the patio outside the kitchen are picture postcard perfect. We had a wonderful week and recommend this property without reservation!

Our second time

Montisi is a beautiful, small hilltop town with almost no tourists. We love being away from the Tuscan crowds of the bigger cities. Yet we were only 30-40 minutes away from all the sights. The property is unique, but comfortable. The manager is friendly and very helpful.

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful property in Montisi. The view from the terrace is really beautiful! We enjoyed the silence, you can completely relax. The house has everything you need to make it a pleasant stay. We were truly blown away by the charm of this lovely home. Montisi is the ideal base to discover this beautiful region. It's really enjoyable. Communication with Catherine was excellent and also with Adi, who was waiting for us on arrival. This holiday home is highly recommended.

Wonderful villa in great location

We absolutely loved our stay here. The villa has such character (it’s exactly as in the photos) with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And the location is perfect for exploring all the hill top villages. The local village Montisi is the perfect size - with all that we needed, without the tourists - and the locals were very friendly. Catherine is an awesome host, sending loads of helpful information prior as well as checking in on us during our stay. Although the weather wasn’t as warm as normal for May it was perfect for our adventures and we will return in summer to make use of the pool!! We would definitely recommend this villa and Catherine as a host and we look forward to returning sometime soon.

Stunning property and location

My family and I had such a lovely week staying in Montisi taking in the views and exploring the surrounding towns and villages. We took our 6 month old baby with us and before booking the owner did explain that the property is far from baby proof (steep stone steps everywhere), but thankfully our daughter wasn’t able to crawl so we didn’t have any issues. I can’t quite stress enough how stunning the views are both from the patio at the Villa (where we had our breakfast every day) and when driving through the rolling hills in the surrounding area. It felt like something from a film; we were taken away with how beautiful it was. Highly recommend this villa, it’s clear to see this is a very much loved property by the owners and we were lucky to be able to stay!

Family holiday in Montisi

What a beautiful spot! The sunsets from this property are spectacular. The villa is well appointed with comfortable beds and sofas and plenty of space to sunbathe or sit in the shade and relax. The pool is long enough to have a good swim and there are lots of sun loungers around and a hammock to sunbathe. The house has lots of fab books should you run out of materials! It’s only 20 mins on foot to the village with two bars and 3/4 restaurants to choose from. All very high quality. Beautiful area with plenty on hill top villages and towns to explore. Catherine, the owner is very informative and communicates promptly and Adi, the local friendly manager is on hand should you need anything. I fully recommend this property for a ‘get away from it all’ holiday.

Perfect holiday!

Wow! Such a beautiful property with absolutely mesmerising views. We absolutely loved our holiday here, the perfect place to celebrate my 50th, milestone birthday! We loved the wonderful bedroom on the top floor, cooking in the quaint kitchen, bbq'ing and eating al fresco on the beautiful terrace and veranda, playing table tennis, relaxing in the wonderful pool, we even brought lilo's at the local supermarket and spent afternoons bobbing around, enjoying the wonderful weather. The house was well equipped, all the basics for cooking, coffee, tea etc, even a nespresso machine and a lovely, much appreciated welcome basket! The local village is really friendly and Il Barino''s is a must for a delicious, long, relaxed lunch / dinner - fantastic! We came here for a much needed break and found a piece of paradise. The local bee-eater birds and their vibrant colours were incredible, the sunrises and sunsets out of this world. We highly recommend this property, absolutely wonderful!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Niessen

I'm Catherine, I live in the UK, and have spent much of my life in and around Italy and all things Italian

Why they chose this property

Steeped in tradition, all the good things in life. You can do as much or as little as you wish, its bliss

What makes this property unique

Uninterrupted views of the Crete Senese and looking to the towers in Siena 40kms away. No light pollution, night skies filled with an abundance of stars. We are at the end of a one km white road, flanked by olive trees, an oasis of calm yet a 20 minute walk to the heart of Montisi to drink a coffee at the bar or enjoy a fabulous dinner in the centre of town
