Overview
Enveloped by verdant countryside in the beautiful Val d'Orcia and yet within easy access to the historic city of Siena, Villa Gino offers guests the perfect location to explore the many parts of Tuscany. The home is a stunning escape which can sleep ten guests and offers a landscaped garden with a private pool.
As you approach Villa Gino, you will pass through private farmland and a hectare of leafy grounds and find yourself in front of an impressive 17th-century farmhouse constructed with traditional red brick. In 2021, this historic building was lovingly and carefully renovated using the best possible materials and traditional techniques. Therefore while staying here, you can enjoy a harmonious blend of old and new with original features sitting side by side with modern amenities such as air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and coffee machines.
The living space is vast, meaning there is plenty of room for your party to come together for meals or drinks. The large living room has a sofa close to a fireplace and a sitting room next door where the kids can watch TV or play on the PlayStation. When it is time for dinner, you can cook in the well-equipped kitchen and dine in the formal dining room or al-fresco on the covered dining terrace.
Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, whilst on the first floor, there are two luxury suites with sitting areas, TVs, walk-in wardrobes and gorgeous bathrooms. One even has an inviting bathtub to enjoy a soak after a busy day. There is also another welcoming double bedroom. There is even a jacuzzi on the grounds with staggering views.
The home also boasts a vast landscaped garden which is the ideal place for dinner with a view or swimming in the private pool. You can get cosy around the outdoor fire pit or warm up in the jacuzzi in cooler months.
When you wish to get out and get to know Tuscany, the villa is well-suited for walking, hiking and cycling through the farmland. If you prefer shopping or trying delicious Tuscan food, the closest town is Buonconvento, a mere 6km away.
It would be a shame to visit this area and not spend a day in the beautiful medieval city of Siena. The city is 27km away, packed with art galleries, museums, shops, cafes and restaurants. If you are here during the summer, you can watch the Palio horse race, which takes place in the city streets and is followed by parties and festivities.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GinoOffering breathtaking views over the rolling hills of Tuscany, Villa Gino is a rural idyll where you can truly unwind. Whether you wish to walk and cycle in the country landscape or cannot wait to discover the museums and eateries of nearby towns like Montalcino, there is plenty to do here for everyone.
The famous Via Francigena pilgrim trail is just 1km away from the house, and while religious pilgrims still use it, it is also widely used by walkers and hikers that use the pathways and signposted trails. If you prefer cycling to walking, you will be interested to know that every March, the Strade Bianche road cycling race passes through the village and can be watched by guests. Alternatively, you can hire bikes and explore the scenic routes for yourself. You can do lots to make the most of the rural surroundings, including hot air balloon rides or taking a day trip to the Petriolo hot springs, 30km away.
In addition to picturesque natural beauty, Tuscany is also famed for its many pretty villages, hilltop towns and culture-rich cities. The closest town to the home Buonconvento, 6km away, is one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. This small, red-brick medieval town is a wonderful place to visit. The town sits within the original 14th-century walls and boasts a medieval palazzo amongst its sights.
Buonconvento is just one of many lovely towns and cities you can discover close to the house. Others include Montalcino, 20km away by car. Montalcino is a historic hilltop town which overlooks the Val d'Orcia and surrounding vineyards. Another option is Pienza, which is 32km away and known as Pope Pius II's birthplace and is a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage registered town.
Siena is one of this area's main attractions and is only 27km away from the villa. Siena is easy to navigate on foot, but there is lots to see there, so booking a walking tour is a brilliant way of getting to know the city. Some of the highlights include the Palazzo Publico, the Gothic town hall, and Siena’s ornate cathedral, the Duomo di Siena. The city also has world-class art galleries, artisan shops and restaurants.

Villa Gino is a beautiful property
Villa Gino is a beautiful property. The cyprus tree lined driveway, high on a Tuscan hilltop is an entrance to heaven.
The villa is meticulously maintained both inside and out with so many dining areas and terraces to relax in and privates spaces to meet everyone’s needs.
The owner, Andrea spared no expense in the details of the design and furnishings both inside and out. The landscaping is breathtaking. It is so well equipped with everything one would need in the kitchen and throughout. From bluetooth speakers to the bocce court, from the jacuzzi on yet another terrace to the electric car charging station. The property was more beautiful than the photos on the website. I’m a detail person and everywhere I cast my eye for the entire week was a treat.
There is a book in the villa detailing the history of the property but more interesting to me, it details the complete top to bottom renovation that the owner undertook. The villa has been a labour of love for Andrea and he is intent on sharing his home most generously with his guests.
A testament to this property are the exceptional comments below and the rave reviews for Andrea, Serena the house manager and the staff. It’s hard to add anything to these reviews.
Our family of 10 enjoyed every moment and every detail. -
The villa itself is spectacular
My family & I recently stayed at Villa Gino and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The villa itself is spectacular and secluded. The interior is beautiful with up to date appliances and VERY clean. The pool and outdoor area including bocce court is an exciting addition. The views are absolutely stunning and you can take in the beautiful night sky in the hot tub. The host Serena & owner Andrea were SO welcoming & made our stay even better. The two women who cleaned the villa during our stay were also very sweet, giving us tomatoes from their own backyard. The nearby town is 15 minutes away by car approximately and with everything you will need. My family & I will definitely be returning!

This villa was the perfect home
This villa was the perfect home base for our travels around Tuscany. The home is completely updated and beautiful on the inside and truly shines on the outside! The pool and hot tub are spectacular. The sunsets are incredible and the views are simply perfect. Serena was a great contact person for any questions and if you stay, definitely get Elisa to cook for you, she’s amazing! Highly recommend!

A truly beautiful Villa set in the Tuscan Hills
A truly beautiful Villa set in the Tuscan Hills. The Villa has a Rustic charm with modern conveniences and everything you need for a relaxing time. All the staff associated with the Villa were so helpful it made our week special. We don’t usual stay at the same Villa twice, but look forward to returning to this wonderful place.

Will DEFINITELY return
If there was ever a place called heaven on earth, this villa would be it!! I could write a novel on just how much this villa is the perfect destination to spend multiple days in the heart of Tuscany with 360 views of the gorgeous Tuscan countryside with EVERY single amenity one could ever need with every single modern convenience available. My party of 8 soaked up the sun in this beautiful villa for 7 days and enlisted 2 of the chefs to cook incredible meals for as we dined al fresco. Highly suggest taking one of the pasta making classes as it was a very fun learning experience. Serena our onsite coordinator was EXTREMELY responsive and helpful every day. We had want of nothing and will DEFINITELY return if we are blessed enough to make another visit. Highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for home away from home. 200% My only complaint is more time needed.

I would say it was like a heaven on earth.
I stayed at Villa Gino in April 2024 with all my family members for seven nights with a total of 8 adults and 3 kids. I would say it was like a heaven on earth.
The view was more than stunning, the house was very nice and clean, an inside interior was so tasteful and modern. Everyone in my family was super happy during this vacation .
In the house, the facilities and all the household supplies were so completed, we didn’t need to buy anything else while we were staying there. If you wanna cook, it would be your heaven since the kitchen supplies were all new and of high quality.
We would definitely go back there again soon. I would say it was the most wonderful villa I have ever stayed in my life!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
