Stunning outdoor living spaces and a private indoor wellness area make Villa Poderosa an ideal choice for a holiday any time of year in the rolling hills of Tuscany. Spend a stay relaxing in the gardens by the pool, exploring the photogenic Val d’Orcia region, and sampling local wines, cheeses and more from nearby shops. The property was recently restored with care and consideration, and today this historic home boasts sophisticated decor and nine bedrooms with space for fourteen friends and family members.

The villa is set amid expansive gardens planted with lavender, rosemary, wildflowers and even vegetables. Let the scent of the herbs and Tuscan sun wash over you as you lounge by the pool or under the pergola, and as evening falls, serve aperitifs at one of the al-fresco dining areas as the barbecue heats up. After a day of sightseeing, stretch out in the exercise room, swim against the counter-current system in the indoor pool, treat yourself to a session in the steam room and sauna, or simply share favorite snaps via Wi-Fi.

A recent restoration brought out the authentic character of this luxury vacation rental while giving it a modern update. Cotto floors, beamed ceilings, shuttered windows and stone fireplaces give a warm, traditional look to the two sitting rooms, sunroom and formal dining room. Contemporary details such as mod lounge chairs, wicker loveseats and even a station clock are unexpected yet playful. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen is both stylish and practical, with custom cabinets, a breakfast table and state-of-the-art appliances.

The nine bedrooms at Villa Poderosa range from family-friendly accommodations to honeymoon-worthy suites. On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms with double beds that share a hall bathroom. Upstairs, the master suite has a king bed and en-suite bathroom, and there are two more bedrooms with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms. There are also two family suites, each of which has a bedroom with a queen bed, a bedroom with a twin bed and a shared bathroom.

Once the inspiration for countless Renaissance artists and now dotted with charming villages and castles, the Val d’Orcia region is well worth exploring. Sip the famed local wine in Montalcino, see the town where Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet was filmed in Pienza or leave your car at the Chiusi-Chianciano train station and take the train into central Florence. There are plenty of dining choices close to Villa Poderosa, from rustic trattorias to romantic restaurants, and if you need a special treat, the Terme dei Medici spa is only a 3-minute drive away.
