Le Crete
Italy
Captivating Tuscan Life
Tuscany, Italy
Our view
"Idyllically located between Siena, Montalcino and Montepulciano, this classic Italian villa is perfectly placed for immersion into Tuscan culture, food, wine and endless views. Reimagined using local stone, wooden beams and stucco walls, the villa is a mix of old and new and sits imposingly atop a hill, overlooking the rolling Tuscan countryside the region is famed for. Peace and tranquility reign supreme here, whether you’re soaking up panoramic vistas from the manicured gardens, cooling off in the saltwater pool or enjoying the hot tub. And the joy of Le Crete is also the proximity of nearby sights - dive into local Tuscan life at nearby markets, visit vineyards producing rich reds and marvel at hilltop villages crammed with Renaissance art and architecture.

The Villa Experience
Waking up surrounded by the serenity of the rolling hills of Crete Senes will set you instantly into relaxed holiday mode with the Tuscan panorama a constant backdrop to your holiday. Life at Villa Le Crete is perfectly suited to those who cherish privacy as well as connoisseurs of food, wine and the Italian good life. Embody the Italian motto of dolce far niente or be active with e-bike and walking trails straight from the house. Close by are also excellent restaurants for lunch or dinner or pick up delicious local produce in the food markets in the nearby village of Monteroni d’Arbi. Browse vintage finds in the antique market at Siena and art aficionados will find more than enough to slake their thirst in the culturally rich towns of San Gimignano, Cortona, Florence and Siena – all reachable for a day trip. Famed wine towns Montalcino and Montepulciano offer an immersive look into Tuscany’s rich viticulture, although the villa’s own collection of chianti is reason enough to stay home.
