The essence
Tenuta La Barricaia is a wine-estate house set among its own vineyards and centuries-old olive groves outside Sarteano, on the edge of the Val d'Orcia. A 910-square-metre main villa and a guest annex a few steps away hold thirteen en-suite bedrooms for up to twenty-six, with a three-level living room under panoramic windows, a glass-walled dining veranda over the vines, a private wellness centre with a heated indoor pool, and a 15-metre infinity pool looking across open country. The family's working winery — more than 200 barrels and barriques in the cellar — opens its doors for private tastings reserved for guests.

The villa
Architecture & restoration
On the ground floor of the main villa, a large three-level living room with sofas, armchairs and a fireplace sits beneath windows onto the view, beside a bright dining area whose doors open to the garden and pool, and a professionally equipped kitchen with a wood-fired grill. Six double bedrooms, each with its own shower room, fill the first floor; a seventh sits alone in the tower, and an eighth, with an accessible bathroom, opens directly to the outside. A lift serves the house. Below, the wellness centre holds a heated indoor pool with massage jets and a counter-current, a Finnish sauna, a steam room, three sensory showers, a relaxation area and a small gym. The 170-square-metre guest annex adds five more en-suite bedrooms, each with its own outside entrance, one of them accessible.
The setting
Land, view, context
About 5 km from Sarteano, the medieval hill town on the edge of the Val d'Orcia, reached by 3 km of well-kept unpaved road through the estate's vineyards and olive groves. Pienza, Montepulciano and the thermal pools of Bagni San Filippo are all within easy reach, the Chiusi motorway exit is five minutes away, and Chiusi's station connects to Florence, Siena and Rome.
