The essence
Villa Poggio d'Oro is a 400-year-old villa on its own hilltop outside Montalcino, its ochre Florentine façade looking straight across to the town and its Brunello vineyards. Renovated from top to bottom between 2023 and 2025, it keeps its chestnut beams and handmade terracotta while adding air conditioning and travertine bathrooms throughout, and sleeps up to twenty-four in twelve en-suite bedrooms arranged as six suites and two deluxe rooms. A three-hectare park, a 600-square-metre panoramic terrace and a 15-metre pool facing Monte Amiata make the outdoors the main room of the house.

The distinction
A 600 m² terrace raised above the countryside, with Montalcino straight ahead, the Val d'Orcia to the east and, on clear days, the towers of Siena.
Twelve en-suite bedrooms for up to twenty-four, arranged as six self-contained suites — each with its own fully equipped kitchen — and two deluxe rooms.
Travertine bathrooms cut from the quarries of nearby Rapolano Terme, wrought-iron beds made by a local artisan, and restored Italian and French antiques throughout.
A professional kitchen and a lounge that seats 20 to 25 for dinner, so a private chef can cook for the whole party.
A 15-metre pool among old trees and pergolas, facing Monte Amiata — and no televisions anywhere, by design.
The villa
Behind the Florentine-style façade, the villa's 539 square metres keep their 400-year-old bones — exposed chestnut beams and handmade terracotta floors — after a complete renovation between 2023 and 2025 that added air conditioning, underfloor-heated bathrooms and Wi-Fi throughout. Twelve bedrooms, each with its own travertine bathroom, are grouped into six suites for two to four guests, every one with a fully fitted kitchen and a sitting room, plus two independent deluxe rooms. Canopied and wrought-iron beds, hand-woven Persian carpets, fine Italian fabrics and art sourced locally and at auction set the tone. Taken exclusively, the house adds a large professional kitchen and a lounge for dining, meetings or games.
The setting
On a hilltop in a private three-hectare park just outside Montalcino, with the medieval town and its Brunello vineyards filling the view. The Val d'Orcia's cypress roads, Pienza, San Quirico and Bagno Vignoni lie to the east with Monte Amiata on the horizon, the Crete Senesi stretch to the west, and Siena is around half an hour away.
Where it sits
Approximate location: the nearest village, not the villa itself. The exact address comes with your booking confirmation.

Living here
Breakfast on the panoramic terrace each morning, lengths in the pool before lunch, a nap in a hammock beneath the old trees, and aperitivo on the terrace as the sun goes down gold over the hills — with Brunello tastings, cooking classes, cycling on the white roads and in-villa massages arranged by the concierge.
