Villa Fonte Rinaldi (6 + 4)

Situated on its own private, picturesque hilltop, Villa Fonte Rinaldi offers striking 360-degree views across the varied Valdera countryside of rolling vineyards, olive groves, and forests. This stone cottage is your chance to wake up in paradise, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside that invite you to explore.

The restored interior, featuring exposed stone and wood-beamed ceilings, transports you back to the days of the original medieval fortress that once stood here, while the décor throughout is elegant Tuscan, with travertine-tiled bathrooms and a 1950s-style kitchen. The living room’s high ceilings accommodate wide arched patio doors offering unobstructed valley views that lead down to the pool area, furnished for relaxing in the shade after a refreshing swim.

You may be drawn by the views to explore the endless marked walking, biking, and horseback riding trails across the surrounding countryside, with the Castelfalfi resort just 4.5 km away via a country road that offers access to a golf course, a spa, and a Michelin-starred restaurant. Further afield, day-trippers will be inspired to visit Volterra (22 km), San Gimignano (28 km), Pisa (54 km), and Florence (70 km), while the town of Fabrica is just 10 km away.

Wherever your day takes you, you’ll want to return to Villa Fonte Rinaldi in time for a sunset aperitivo and a Tuscan feast in the outdoor dining area, which is situated on the site of Etruscan ruins. An outdoor pizza oven and grill provide an unforgettable panoramic dining experience. After dinner, you can explore a hectare of your own private gardens, planted with fragrant Mediterranean shrubs and featuring a Renaissance-style hedged garden.
