From Villa Il Sasseto, the spectacle of Monte Amiata rising over the far flung reaches of the Val d’Orcia lies at your feet. If it can be believed, the views from the pool, set on an higher level than the house, are even more stupendous.
The villa and its two cottages have been painstakingly restored into a remarkable property. All bedrooms have an en suite bathrooms with hair dryers. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped and there are three separate sitting rooms. Two hours of cleaning daily, and a mid-week linen change are included in the cost.
The owners have also converted an abbey within a short drive of the villa. There guests can arrange the use of a fax, e-mail, sauna, exercise room, mountain bike, fishing equipment.
