About the villa
Podere del Paradiso is a light and delightfully restored family villa in Tuscany, where a range of exciting activities can be arranged upon request, from wine tasting to pizza parties! On the ground floor the entrance hall leads to a rustic kitchen and a large dining room with a fire place, opening to a covered terrace for al fresco dinning. There are four double bedrooms with bathrooms en suite and a small TV room completes this floor. Upstairs, there are a further two double bedrooms and a large sitting room opening to a lovely terrace with countryside views; both bedrooms have en suite bathrooms.
Outdoor living is equally inviting, with an al fresco dining room beneath a shaded pergola beside the villa. From here, a staircase leads down to the fabulous swimming pool, which forms a focal point for socialising. This peacefully private villa is just 1.5 km from nearby amenities in San Casciano dei Bagni, which is also home to the Fonteverde Natural Spa; there are ancient springs and natural hot mineral water pools, as well as an array of relaxing thermal and beauty treatments.

Val d'Orcia & near Cortona
Average weather
The rolling, strangely haunting scenery of the Val d’Orcia is the backdrop to many a Renaissance painting. Its cypress-studded ridges form one of the iconic modern images of ‘classic Tuscany’. The towns are a delight for architecture buffs: the Renaissance palaces of Montepulciano and Pienza; the Romanesque Collegiata in San Quirico d’Orcia, hewn entirely from honey-coloured travertine. Cortona clings to the side of a mountain overlooking the Valdichiana, looking out to Lake Trasimeno and neighbouring Umbria.
