About this property

Panorama and infinity pool in the Siena Province, south of Montepulciano

Stunning view. This stone house offers a big luxurious kitchen, a huge terrace and salt water infinity-pool en-suite. It is rare to find the pool as a natural extension of house and terrace. This magnificent independent house on 4 hectars private terrain with panoramic view of the Chiana Valley including the 2 lakes, Trasimeno and Chiusi, is surrounded by newly planted vines and olive trees. "Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" at hand on the terrace for your Italian cooking.

The house sits on a hill above Sarteano only 2 km away. Sarteano is a traditional and genuine Tuscan town with 5000 inhabitants offering 10+ restaurants, bars, a decent COOP super marked, butcher, bakery, fresh pasta store etc.

The A - Z renovation finished in June 2016 and being brought up to date in spring 2019. The 3 story house has 3 double rooms (two of which can sleep 3) and a single room, 3 bathrooms, 1 toilet, 1 outdoor shower. Luxurious and cozy kitchen with open fire place and a long wooden dinner table that sits 10, sitting room with fireplace and balcony. From the kitchen you walk straight onto the terrace equipped with outdoor furniture and a BBQ. The infinity pool is an integral part of the terrace area from where you have a breath taking view of the valley and the lakes. The lower floor has its own kitchen suitable for those desiring a semi-separate unit.

The philosophy of the renovation has been to go for natural materials with an emphasis on solid wood and travertine. Tuscan stile with a Nordic element and a scent of the Middle East. You will find solid oak wood and travertine floors, Armenian hand painted tiles, Phillip Starck sanitation, solid wooden 4 cm. table top and 90 cm wide SMEG stove in the kitchen. Every item in the interior decoration has been chosen with care by the owners, some are uniquely tailor-made for the house.

You can expect extremely friendly reception and service by our local Sarteano "maitre" , who can also arrange a babysitter or private chef for you if so desired. Linens, mid-week cleaning service and change of towels is included.

You can take walks or cycle in the woods behind the house or visit Tuscan sites like La Foce which is famous for it's park, or nearby villages such as Pienza, Montepulciano, Radicofani, Cetona and Chiusi or visit thermal baths in Bagno Vignoni, San Casciano dei Bagni and Bagni San Filippo.

The house is easy accessible just 8 km. from the Chiusi/Chianchiano exit from the main highway between Rome and Florenze, A1. Only the last 300 m. to the house are on our private road. Chiusi train station is 10 km away with direct connections to Florence, Rome and Siena.

Starting 2023 season the house will have AC in 3 bedrooms and the living room.

Absolutely stunning! Highly recommend!
My family and I stayed here in late September and had a fabulous time. The house has everything you need including a bbq (we are Australians so this is essential on a holiday), pool and an AMAZING view. The house is close enough to Sarteano to feel part of the village but far away enough to be very quiet and secluded! It provided a great base to explore the beautiful hill towns in this part of Italy!!

An excellent house with a great location, ideal for hiking and sight-seeing in Tuscany and Umbria
Villa is well maintained and equipped, very comfortable for three couples. Far enough from the main road to be private and quiet while only five minutes by car from Sarteano, with a freeway exit another ten minutes distant. Set in old oak forest, it is very well located for hiking in the Val d'Orcia and for sight-seeing in such centres as Montepulciano, Montalcino and Piensa. Cool in the summer heat, with a wonderful view from the house and the pool. Kitchen, bedrooms and laundry are well appointed, with new or near new appliances etc. The local manager and cleaners are friendly and helpful.

Urlaub in Sarteano
Das Haus und die Lage sind einmalig. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail wurde dieses Haus renoviert und eingerichtet. Kompliment an den Gastgeber. In der wunderschönen Küche, die sehr gut ausgestattet ist, kann man prima kochen. Das haben wir auch häufig gemacht. Der Ort an sich hat uns aufgrund der wenigen Restaurants nicht ganz so gut gefallen. Aber das ist ja auch Geschmacksache. Der Gastgeber ist sehr zuverlässig und freundlich. Die schriftliche Kommunikation hat bestens geklappt. Vielen Dank dafür!!! Dieser Urlaub wird uns immer in guter Erinnerung bleiben. Beste Grüße Katja

Splendid stay!
We had a wonderful 5 night stay in this magnificent villa. The pictures accurately describe the beauty of this place but you truly need to see it to appreciate the magnificence of the villa and the surrounding countryside! The kitchen is beautifully stocked with excellent utensils and cookware as well as a state of the art coffee maker. The owner was responsive to any inquiries prior to booking and assisted with securing a private chef ( Assunta) for our final evening. We met with the property manager Lucia who guided us to the villa where we were greeted with a welcome basket! Such a nice personal touch! If you love to stream music there is a Bluetooth speaker which adds to the peaceful nature of this oasis. The weather was a bit cool for our use of the pool but the ambiance added to the tranquility of the surroundings. This villa is 5 star and exceeded our expectations!

Amazing property!
This villa far exceeded our expectations, and we were sad to leave! Communication with the owner was exceptional, and check-in was quite easy. The owner arranged a cooking class for us with Assumta during our stay, which was great fun - highly recommend this experience! The villa itself was well-appointed with everything you might need during a stay. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and modern. The views were amazing, with the villa situated on a forested hill overlooking a valley. We would highly recommend this villa for a trip to Sarteano!

Perfection
I highly recommend Jens Villa to anyone looking to visit Tuscany. From the moment we booked, Jens was incredibly helpful with any questions we had and always got back to us within a couple of hours. And the Villa……absolutely gorgeous. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. The pool is a peaceful place to share a glass of wine, read a book and enjoy the view. We had many breakfasts outside by the pool as well as at the kitchen table by the fireplace. The Villa is so comfortable and so clean. It had absolutely everything we needed. Lucia, the Villa manager, is incredibly helpful. We met her as soon as we got to Sarteano. We had rented two cars and she showed us the route to the Villa and walked through the house with us. Dinner at Lucia’s family restaurant is a must. We had two delicious dinners there and we enjoyed spending time in such an interesting and beautiful place. Our evening in with Chef Assunta was yet another experience we will remember. Delicious and so nice to enjoy a night in with family. The location was perfect. Day trips to Siena, Assisi, La Foce Garden, and Montepulciano were so easy. We also enjoyed a wonderful wine tour through the Brunello region. We also spent some time walking around the beautiful town of Sarteano and found great places to shop for breakfasts and lunches we ate at the Villa. Great pizza and gelato as well!! I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our week at Jens Villa. Thank you for everything!!

Amazing villa!
The villa is beautiful; very clean, spacious, with highly equipped luxurious kitchen and comfortable beds! The views from the villa are breath-taking and the pool area is lovey. The are many nice places to visit but we especially enjoyed Montepulciano, Cetona, the hot springs at Bagno San Filippo and the hike from the villa to Castiglioncello del Trinoro. Jens was extremely friendly, prompt with communication and helpful. We would definitely recommend a stay at this property!

Magical stay in Sarteano
Our first trip to Tuscany and Sarteano is the sweetest village steeped in history and beauty. Jens is such a pleasant attentive host with a great team. The house is beautifully designed and comfortable with spectacular views and a stunning infinity pool set in the forest surrounding the property. Quite secluded which gave plenty of peace and tranquility yet nearby to the most charming village. We had a wonderful stay with our children of varying ages. Would definitely rate this as one of our most memorable holidays. Thank you Jens and all the team

Paradise in Sarteano
As soon as we saw the villa appear in its secluded location at the top of the drive, it took our breath away. We then opened the doors onto the balcony in the lounge and seeing the lakes, mountains and forests beneath us made us realise why we’d booked this villa. The week’s stay helped us recharge our batteries, idyllic and peaceful. The villa was well equipped, spacious and exceptionally clean. Sarteano centre is 2 miles away and has a lot to offer and easier by car due to the hill climb back to the villa. We explored many beautiful places during our stay: Montepulciano, Pienza, Casciano. We would definitely recommend this villa to others and wished we could have stayed longer.

Charming villa!!
Beautiful Villa on the hillside overlooking Tuscany. Stunning views. Updated furnishings, a wonderful kitchen that opens onto the patio and glorious pool. We spent every night on the porch star gazing with a glass of wine. Short drive to town, close to Montepulciano and Pienza! Both Jens and Lucia were extremely friendly, prompt with communication and helpful. Lucia's restaurant was one of our favorite dinners out in Italy. We can't wait to come back!

A great experience in Tuscany
We really can't say enough positive things about our villa experience in Sarteano. The cool and quiet of the early morning and the great view of the sunrise were wonderful. The home is private and very comfortable and the refreshing pool was an enjoyable and frequent gathering spot for our family. Sarteano is charming and a great location to launch daytrips throughout Tuscany. The host and his local staff are exceptional and go above and beyond an excellent standard of service.

Beautiful view and wonderful owner
Jens, the owner, is an amazing host. He communicates well and promptly and arranged for Assunta, a chef, to cook for us and with us two of the nights. She was the best part of our vacation! So friendly and the food was the best we had on our trip. The villa has a fantastic kitchen with everything you could need. The upstairs is lovely and the living room and balcony are comfortable with stunning views, including the lakes in the distance. The downstairs/basement sleeping area does not quite match the upstairs, requiring navigating a narrow spiral staircase. It is also a bit dark and damp. Probably okay for kids but not so much as a second area for adults. There is a washing machine downstairs but no dryer. So you must hang out wash or go into town to a laundromat if the weather is rainy as it was during our trip. Definitely need a car as taxi service is difficult. Because of weather we did not get to use the pool. But it is stunning!

Unique Villa in Tuscany
Everything about this villa is outstanding. The location is amazing with fantastic views and amazing privacy. The owner and managers were both responsive and proactive in making sure everything was easy and comfortable. The villa is equipped with very modern appliances, sound system etc. Day trips to Montepulciano, Montalcino, and all the other spectacular sites in the Sarteano area were easy and convenient. Finally, the hike over the mountain behind the villa is special and, if you are a birder, extra special- bring your binoculars!

Beautiful Tuscany
Although not well known to us, the location of the Villa in Sarteano was perfect. This amazing Villa lived up to ALL of our expectations and even more. A cot for the baby, a chair seat for the toddler. A swimming pool (chilly but a must) An amazingly well appointed kitchen. The Villa is spacious, clean, plenty of room to share and large enough to find a quiet place to work or read. Set on a hilltop the views are absolutely amazing and ever changing depending on the weather and the time of day. Day trips to towns and sites throughout the area are wonderful - rain or shine. Although the owner does not live in Italy, he was the best — he can be quickly reached, and is ever so helpful, and friendly. Thank you Jens Nicolai

The view (particularly sunrise) was stunning and the pool area was fantastic ! We had a lovely break and enjoyed the house tremendously. The house is remote (with a gravel lane at the end) but the drive into Sarteano is short and we loved the town. The week (August) we went was Hot and it should be noted the house has fans and shutters and stayed reasonably cool given the conditions but was still warm for sleeping without air conditioning. Jens was super in communicating and helping. He arranged a lovely local chef to cook for us one evening and the food was delicious ! (As it was at the recommended restaurants in Sarteano). Overall a great week - thanks Jens !

Four weeks of bliss in Tuscany and Sarteano was the perfect location. Unspoiled by tourists yet close enough to Siena, Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano and more. The villa is perfect; beautifully appointed, comfortable and clean. The pool is delightful and the views simply gorgeous! Don't miss sunrise from the upstairs bedrooms.

Dieses Haus ist ein Traum! Was soll man herausheben? Den Blick auf den Lago Trasimeno und die Landschaft! Den Infinity-Pool, einfach herrlich, jeden Morgen hineinzuspringen und die Frische mit Aussicht zu genießen! Die Ruhe, nichts stört, man kann einfach nur sein! Das Haus an sich, jedes Teil fügt sich ein, ein 6-flammiger Gasherd, Messer, die wirklich scharf sind, sogar ein Messerschärfer ist da. Die wunderschön kombinierten toskanischen und skandinavischen Farben. Die Fensterläden schließen sich farblich an die Poolfarben an. Es ist alles auf den Punkt und sehr hochwertig. Wir sind einfach begeistert! Herzlichen Dank an Jens, dass er so gastfreundlich ist und dieses Refugium erschaffen hat.

Stunningly beautiful house! The views, the interior design, the fabulous kitchen, all perfect
We all loved this house! It is gorgeously designed, inside & out. The views are spectacular, & the location is the ideal spot for a quiet home base from which you can explore Tuscany on short day trips. There is hiking, including a gorgeous hike to a fabulous lunch at Hotel Monteverdi. We also had a wonderful chef, Assunta, come one night to the house who taught us all how to make fresh pasta, among other delicious dishes. This was a perfect vacation. I hope to go back someday.
