A Warm Welcome to a Serene Tuscan Retreat

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany near Montefollonico, this beautifully restored farmhouse offers a sanctuary of serenity, creativity, and genuine Italian hospitality. Brought to life by Fabio and Suzanne, this boutique retreat celebrates Tuscany’s essence, with a deep love for local traditions, sustainable living, and slow travel. Every aspect, from handpicked décor to the organic gardens, reflects the owners’ dedication to creating an intimate, immersive experience for guests seeking peace, simplicity, and connection to nature.

 

The Space

The retreat offers just four thoughtfully curated suites and two rooms, each unique yet equally cozy, drawing on the natural textures and charm of the Italian countryside. Rustic beamed ceilings, thick wooden doors, and cool stone floors blend seamlessly with touches of sage green, exposed brick, and earthy whites, creating a soothing palette that invites relaxation. Each suite has its own private entrance and access to fragrant gardens or countryside views, allowing guests to bask in privacy and natural beauty. A saltwater infinity pool is perched atop the property, offering stunning panoramas of Montepulciano and Montefollonico, perfect for cooling down or simply soaking in the views.

 

The Surroundings

The farmhouse sits amid unspoiled landscapes of rolling vineyards, lavender fields, and ancient olive groves in a region steeped in agricultural history and charm. Just a short drive or stroll leads you through nearby small villages, where gravel roads wind toward quaint monasteries, abbeys, and timeless Italian architecture. Local farms and producers carry on centuries-old traditions, welcoming you to experience Tuscan life as it has been lived for generations.
