The Sangiovese reds of the Val d’Orcia are worthily considered amongst the best wines in the world. A perfect blend of Mediterranean sunshine, gentle south-facing slopes and a nutrient-rich volcanic landscape combine to produce wines that have been celebrated and enjoyed since Roman times. Dotted along the ridges and hill-tops of this spectacular region are medieval villages and Tuscany villas for rent as delicious as the wines themselves. Pienza, Montalcino, San Quirico d’Orcia and Montepulciano are timelessly beautiful and as synonymous with Tuscany as sentinel cypress trees or the frescoes of Michelangelo.
Located amongst the vineyards surrounding Montepulciano is the Villa dell’Angelo, a delightful Italian villa transformed from a once-dilapidated residence into a stylish and contemporary home. The villa is located on a 51-hectare wine estate, with olive orchards and truffle woodland, in a landscape as glorious and unrivalled as anywhere in Italy.
