Panorama and privacy in the Siena Province, south of Montepulciano.

This villa is beautiful and even better than expected! The views are breathtaking. The location makes travel to other areas and wineries easy for exploring. We loved the village of Sarteano as it is not filled with tourists. Jens was amazing at replying to us quickly and recommending restaurants and things to do and see. Don’t miss out on having Jens contact Assumta to come to the villa and cook a wonderful Italian meal. It was delicious and a lot of fun. Thanks, Jens, for a wonderful time in Tuscany!

The villa is very relaxing and the view is stunning

We had a lovely two-week stay here with four adults and two children (5 and 3). This house is perfectly situated to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a country retreat with gorgeous views of the valley, while also being 20-90 minutes away from Tuscany’s best villages. This area is steeped in history and culture, wonderful food and wine, and natural beauty. There is plenty to do and see for adults and children. We were very sad to leave this morning. Jens is a communicative and attentive host. To note, the road up to the property is rustic, so be prepared with a good rental car.

Communication with ownership was fantastic. The home is built with attention to detail and every inch luxurious. From the structure to the furnishings all first class. A fireflies are romantic. We saw a wild pig, toad and turtles. we enjoyed hanging our clothes out to dry on the clothes Lines. We cooked in this gorgeous kitchen, fantastic stove on large dining table and we ate in the most beautiful restaurants. The home is very spacious and well furnished four seasons quality linens. We highly recommend. housekeeping was a big bonus. The pool was super nice.

We absolutely loved Jen’s house - it is stunning.The views across the valley towards Chiusi, Lake Trasimeno & beyond are breathtaking. At daybreak, we watched the sunrise over the mountains in the distance as the morning mist rose from the fields below whilst, in the evening, sitting on the balcony as fireflies lit the garden was magical. The situation is completely private & so peaceful. There is plenty of shade available & the pool was much appreciated to cool off in and, again, afforded wonderful views.Inside, the house is characterful yet modern & very well equipped. All the rooms are very spacious and well furnished. There is an excellent coffee maker and plenty of equipment in the kitchen and a barbecue if you wish to cook at home. We stayed for nearly a fortnight, so really appreciated the two housekeeping visits with fresh linen and towels. Jens could not have been more helpful and both he and Lucia really helped to make our stay smooth and trouble free. We had not been to this immediate area before but really liked Sarteano. It is so friendly and we had some excellent meals here and enjoyed wandering the streets and practicing our Italian! Chiostro Cennini was superb - a beautiful setting. Bar I Diavoli was great for coffee & morning pastries. Lo Zio, the local supermarket, was delightful- great produce & so friendly. Further afield, there are also numerous fascinating places to visit.We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful home.

We had a really nice time in Sarteano and in the house. We were a group of friends and did a lot of dinners at the house (homemade pasta, pizza, bbq, etc) and the house was absolutely perfect for it. The kitchen was so well equipped and had great amenities so it was no problem cooking and prepping for a large group. Also, the rooms and the amount of bathrooms was way better than in any other house I've stayed at with larger groups because usually you have 1-2 full rooms and the quality and amount of bathrooms and bedrooms was unmatched in comparison to other places I've stayed at with larger groups. Just don't make the mistake of following Google maps up the mountain because there is a much better and easier path which is not on the maps and was shown to us by Lucia . Would def recommend this house to friends or even stay there again!

Me and my family (including a 1.5yr old) stayed here for 6 days and it was great!! The house and the property is spacious and they have thought of everything you would need!! Lucia was lovely and helpful and her restaurant was delicious. We would happily book here over and over again :)

This house in Tuscany, located on the hillside in a forest with complete privacy, is a complete gem. The pictures show exactly the layout of this beautiful house, the views, and the infinity pool, which is a real luxury. In fact, it is obvious that much thought went into the planning and renovation of the place, radiating a feeling of high quality. We have stayed in many VRBO houses, and our family gives this place the highest score yet. The middle floor contains the kitchen and living room where people can get together, while the top and bottom floors have the bedrooms and bathrooms (the bottom floor can serve as a separate and more private unit if needed). The middle floor has one smaller bedroom and bathroom. The house is equipped with all that one would need. The village of Sarteano is a few minutes drive away. It's worth climbing up all the way to the castle, and up to its very top for the views. There is a Coop supermarket in town and a little further is a larger Pam with a little mall. The village is about 10 min off the major highway A1, and so is an adequate point for taking day tours in the closer villages and thermal baths, or to the more distant towns (Siena, Florence). The owner, Jens, is very responsive and welcoming, and so is Lucia who manages the place. Bottom line - super place for a family vacation.

We had a fantastic stay at Jens and Lise’s villa. From the start, communicating with Jens was very easy. He’s prompt answering your questions to make the stay as easy as possible. As others have described, the villa sits high above the valley giving you spectacular views. We spent many late afternoons with local wine just staring out at the gorgeous countryside. The villa itself is very clean and comes with all necessary amenities. Even with extreme Tuscan temperatures, the air conditioning (and the pool!) kept us comfortable. Sarteano makes a great base for visiting some of the smaller, less crowded villages. I highly recommend the villa and Jens’ hospitality to anyone.

This property and the host are nothing short of exceptional. Our hopes were high for our stay here in Sarteano and our expectations were definitely exceeded. The photos of the house and landscape are impressive but experiencing this place first hand is breathtaking. This is a very special place in all of Tuscany and we are so grateful we were able to experience it. The house itself is top of the line, everything functions as it should, and every square inch is clean. Communication with the owner was stellar and Jens even provided some very useful recommendations for activities and eateries in the area. The road to get to the property is windy and bumpy but not long and very well worth it. We hope to return here someday! Thank you for everything.

We loved our stay. Just as clean and beautiful as the pictures make it look. We loved the hiking trails behind the property.
