Historic Property

Tucked away in the picturesque countryside just outside the ancient city of Siena, Villa Hortus is a luxury Tuscan retreat that combines old-world elegance with modern amenities. This enchanting property offers a secluded haven for those looking to indulge in the slower pace of Italian country living, while still having access to some of Tuscany’s most coveted sights and experiences.

Villa Hortus spans three spacious stories and has been carefully restored to preserve its historic character, while seamlessly incorporating contemporary touches. As soon as you enter the villa, you're greeted by an interior that feels both timeless and chic, with tastefully arranged antiques and international artwork, complemented by a palette of warm earth tones. The ground floor of the villa is dedicated to elegant social spaces, including two living rooms and two dining rooms, showcasing an eclectic mix of treasures. Antique heirlooms, designer pieces, 17th-century still-life paintings, and contemporary art are tastefully arranged throughout. The décor blends rustic country fabrics with velvets and vibrant Uzbek Ikat panels, while ne living room features 18th-century boiserie from a Parisian hotel.

The property hosts five en-suite bedrooms, ensuring ample space for large families or groups of friends. The two master suites are particularly luxurious, featuring king-sized beds, large windows that allow natural light to pour in, and beautifully appointed bathrooms with freestanding tubs for the ultimate relaxation.

The heart of the villa, though, is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Perfect for gathering, this space is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and leads out to a pergola that can seat up to 18 guests. The kitchen, like much of the villa, looks out over Villa Hortus’ beautifully landscaped gardens, designed to be a feast for the senses. Lavender, rosemary, and olive trees create a fragrant atmosphere, while the private orchard and vegetable garden offer fresh, seasonal produce—just steps from your door. It’s an ideal setting for leisurely al fresco meals, with the gentle Tuscan breeze and the distant views of rolling hills adding to the ambiance.

Outside, the villa’s large infinity pool serves as the perfect spot to cool off during a sunny afternoon or to take in the sunset, cocktail in hand. Lounging by the poolside, surrounded by manicured greenery, is an experience in itself, offering complete privacy and tranquillity. Villa Hortus also features an outdoor shower and various lounging areas, making the grounds feel like your own personal oasis.

For guests who wish to explore beyond the villa’s peaceful confines, Siena is just a short drive away. Here, you can wander through medieval streets, admire the stunning Piazza del Campo, or take in the grandeur of the Duomo. The region is also renowned for its vineyards, making it the perfect base for wine enthusiasts eager to sample some of the finest vintages Tuscany has to offer.
