Perks for the Parents
This incredible example of 1960s architecture is nestled in Tuscany’s lush, green countryside. It sleeps 4. This cleverly converted former warehouse now offers a luxurious villa lifestyle, just 2km from the small town of Montisi, near Montalcino. You’ll be surrounded by gently rolling hills, cypress trees, vineyards, olive groves and several charming villages, with the wine-producing town of Montepulciano just over half an hour’s drive away. Shaded terraces feature designer furniture and effortless style - the perfect place for a morning coffee or pre-dinner drink. For indulgent afternoons, make your way to your private pool for lazy afternoons soaking up the Tuscan sun on a pool-side sun lounger and taking the occasional dip in the cool water. From here, you can admire the medieval ruins of Montelifrè Castle, perched on top of a nearby hill.
Why Kids Love it
Serious swimmers will love the lap pool, which is an incredible 20 meters long and ideal for family races. There’s also a herb garden outdoors, which kids will love visiting and picking herbs for cooking. When it’s time to relax out of the sun, the house has a flatscreen TV, DVD player, Bluetooth speaker and board games to keep kids of all ages entertained. Electric bikes are also available to rent on request, so older kids and teens can explore the surrounding areas on cycling routes. For parents with a baby or toddler, the hosts can provide a highchair and crib on request.

About the Location
The property is located just outside the small town of Montisi in Tuscany, halfway between Perugia and Florence. The views from the terraces, pool and gardens are picture-perfect and the area’s olives and regional red wine can be bought from the local shops in Montisi. This small, medieval town sits on top of a hill and offers restaurants serving the regional pici pasta along the narrow streets. Head to Montepulciano (half an hour away) to experience Vino Nobile; the famous red wine of the region. The wine cellars are built beneath the streets of the town, so you can wander from site to site, learning and tasting as you go. The idyllic Tuscan town of Pienza (13km) and hot thermal springs in Bagno Vignoni (29km) are also wonderful to visit, while Siena is just 1 hour away by car. The nearest international airport is Perugia (1.5 hours away).
Accommodation Details
The house has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a double bed with an ensuite bathroom, featuring a large rain shower and shared access to a bathtub and outdoor shower. The second bedroom can be set up as a double bed or 2 singles, with an ensuite bathroom (with large rain shower). The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped (with a dishwasher, oven, hob, coffee machine and a breakfast bar) and leads on to the spacious living and dining areas, which boast designer furniture, a central fireplace and large glazed doors leading out to shaded terrace, lawn and pool. Outside, there’s a pool-side shower, alfresco dining area, large lawned gardens and private parking - car rental is essential.
Style Notes
Industrial chic. The villa was designed and owned by 2 Austrian sculptors and architects. The ‘box’ concept of the industrial design is centered around huge windows for admiring the beautiful surrounding scenery, which also flood the beautiful interior spaces with light. The house has been finished with fine pieces of art, sculpture, designer furniture, contemporary concrete floors and open-plan living, both indoors and out to create a truly polished and sophisticated look. We love the super sleek and contemporary dark stone pool, the spectacular central circular fireplace and the all-white cleverly integrated kitchen.
