Architecturally the spacious villa combines traditional Tuscan with contemporary comfort. Accommodation is divided over three floors, with six bedrooms and bathrooms sleeping up to 12 guests in total. Stylish Italian furnishings, high quality materials and bespoke pieces ensure an overall sense of authenticity and sophistication. Interiors are airy and air-conditioned, with plenty of space for guests to find quiet retreat. On the upper floor, a gym space is equipped with high-performance Technogym equipment, whilst a well-stocked wine cellar occupies the lower-ground level and has a tasting table seating up to 12 people.
Outdoors the eponymous arches provide pool-side shade as well as steps to a large, heated Jacuzzi, wonderful at night under a vast starry night sky. Beyond, an outdoor pool area is surrounded with lawns and edged with shaded pergolas and dining area, perfectly oriented to capture the timeless vistas.
The local area is filled with things to do and places to explore. Collect bike rentals and meander along quiet back roads, discovering 14th century chapels, medieval villages and traditional tavernas along the way. First-class wine estates abound and discovering a new favourite is always a treat. Book a private guide and explore the cultural jewels of Siena, Assisi and Florence, and closer to home the charming villages of the Val d’Orcia, with cafes, restaurants and markets. Choose fresh seasonal produce like a local, and perhaps some delicious Florentine steaks, perfect for grilling back at the villa and accompanied with a glass of Brunello, or two. La Dolce Vita.
