About this property

House with private pool with beautiful view Val d 'Orcia

The house has a private swimming pool for the exclusive use of one client. It is 1 km from the medieval village of Monticchiello 7 km from Pienza and Montepulciano and 30 km from Montalcino. It is an old 19th century farmhouse located in the Tuscan countryside in the heart of the Val d Orcia. It is a place surrounded by nature in an uncontaminated corner of Tuscany with unique landscapes in the world,Overlooking Pienza Montepulciano and Monticchiello.It is the ideal place to spend your vacation. The farmhouse is located on a hilltop, surrounded by nature, with breathtaking views. From the windows of the rooms, the garden and the swimming pool, you can see Pienza, Monticchiello, Montepulciano, and the famous "Monticchiello Curves" where many Directors have filmed famous films and advertisements. From the house you can admire beautiful sunsets, unique in the world.
From the farm you can visit areas of art and culture. Ideal for cycling or walking, or taking pictures in a beautiful countryside. Wi-Fi and free parking are available. The house has wooden beams, terracotta floors and stylish furniture, and has mosquito nets on the windows.My husband Fabio and I live a part of the farmhouse, but with an independent entrance and on the other side of the entrance to the farmhouse. Naturally, the swimming pool is available to customers only ((neither Fabio nor I go there).The farmhouse is on two floors: on the ground floor we have
- a kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, oven and hob, all cooking accessories and a table with chairs
-the living room with a table with chairs, sofa bed and fireplace.
- a small bathroom.
You have two doors that open directly onto the garden and the magnificent view. You can eat both at home and in the garden and in the pool
On the first floor we have:
- a double bedroom
- bathroom with shower.
- one room with two single beds (One third bed can be added only on early request and only for a child under 12 years and without any extra payment) With advance application you can also combine the two single beds so that you have Another double bed, so you can have two double bedrooms.
-Upon request early we provide the baby bed
-bathroom has a bathtub.
The rooms have mosquito nets at the windows and the bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers.
The garden is great, you can find roses, broom, rosemary, sage and many other plants.
At guests' disposal there is a private swimming pool of 6 m for 12 m with loungers, chairs, deckchairs, tables and two gazebos. In the vicinity of the farm you can fish in two lakes.The farm is reserved for a single reservation to guarantee privacy both in the swimming pool and in the garden (there are no other tourists in the property). The house is equipped of independent heating (which is not included in the price).The attention of the guest in our facility is very cured and is family-run. I and Fabio will welcome you on your arrival and will be available for any advice on what to go for, or for restaurants or shops etc.(As long as you like!) We live in the structure with opposite entry rom yours and of course we do not use the pool when there are the .customers.To spend a holiday in Monticchiello you need a car because there are no public transport. If you arrive from the north you have to take the highway A1 (highway of the Sun) Rome-Firenze and you have to go out to Valdichiana and follow the sign for Montepulciano. After passing Montepulciano and follow the sign to Chianciano, after about 2 km turn to Monticchiello. For those coming from the South, take the A1 Roma - Firenze motorway exit at Chiusi - Chianciano and follow the indications for Chianciano. Then overtake Chianciano and follow the sign to Montepulciano. Go past the village of Sant 'Albino after about 2 km turn left towards Monticchiello.
The closest airports are: Rome (2 hours 30 minutes), Florence (2 hours) and Pisa (3 hours).
The nearest train station is Chiusi - Chianciano Terme about 40 minutes by car. There is no public transport to the house. The house is one kilometer from the village of Monticchiello

Bellissimo Collosodo!
We are joining the chorus of other reviewers who have raved about their stay at Collosodo. My husband and I stayed for nearly a month and loved it. The house feels like home and Elena and Fabio couldn’t be more gracious. They live on the other side of the house and take meticulous care of the house and the grounds, which include the lovely pool. They were around and checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay but were also considerate of our privacy and so were never intrusive. But because they were around, unlike other VRBO rentals that we’ve had where the owners lived far away, they were readily available with friendly smiles and attended to any minor issues that arose. They also gave us great tips for eating out and places to visit and shop for food. The house is very comfortable with a nice size kitchen that is well outfitted. It was great to arrive and have eggs and juice in the fridge and pastries on the counter along with all of the necessary staples in the cabinets. There is plenty of space in the bathrooms for toiletries, lots of blankets in the closets (although we never needed them) and plenty of fresh towels every week. I combed every review before I arrived and no one mentioned the beds. So I’m adding that they are firm and provide good back support. Most of all, the views are absolutely sensational! A painter, I came with the intention of painting the scenery in the area. I painted everyday from the yard! Grazie mille Elena e Fabio!

Relax totale
Siamo stati in questa bellissima casa durante la settimana di ferragosto, cercavamo tranquillità, silenzio e relax e li abbiamo trovati! La vista, ovunque si guardi, é magnifica e in pochi km di macchina si raggiungono paesi meravigliosi. Elena e Fabio sono due persone gentili e disponibili. La piscina é molto grande e l'uso esclusivo é davvero raro da trovare. Consiglio assolutamente questa struttura, noi ci torneremo ;)

Lovely home, wonderful pool, ideal for the family
We stayed in this lovely house near Montichiello with our children which is a great base for the local towns of Pienza and Montepulciano. The children loved the pool and the house is brilliantly spacious, having three bathrooms which was excellent. All the bathrooms are well equipped, with space for all your toiletries and makeup. Absolutely the best pool of any house we've rented via VRBO. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, and it was very kind of Elena to provide washing liquid, detergent etc for the appliances which meant we did not have to purchase everything! Montichiello has all the basic things you need too, we loved having a drink at La Guardiola and dinner at La Porta was lovely. Elena and Fabio are a lovely couple who looked after us very well. Thank you for providing a wonderful holiday house with such a picturesque location!

Beautiful view, amazing pool
We had a wonderful stay at this idyllic Tuscan house. The views are really incredible from the house. The pool was so refreshing, surprisingly big, and immaculately clean. Elena and Fabio were very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay!

Best views of Tuscany Rollinghills
This was one of the most beautiful and panoramic views of the Tuscany country side and rolling hills that one could wish for. Elena and her husband were excellent hosts and made sure we were comfortable and our stay was worry free. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden and having a glass of Tuscany wine admiring the peaceful scenic views. We had just visited Rome and needed some quiet time. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for that true Italian Tuscany countryside experience.

I am 50 years old and have lived up to 15 years ago in Rome. I got married and came to live in Montichiello, in the Collosodo farmhouse.Since I live here I'm an actress in Monticchiello.E 'theater a tradition that has been handed down for 50 years. Every year we put in place one show written and performed by the people of Monticchiello. Every night we replicate the same comedy for 30 days (20/7 period until 15/8).. I am an outgoing, cheerful, loving nature person. When I open the windows in the morning I see unique landscapes in the world as 'Pienza,Monticchiello and Montepulciano,' and I think: 'I'm really a lucky person!'.Thanks grandfather you have given me this house!

Why they chose this property

If you want to spend a relaxing holiday surrounded by cypress trees and the Tuscan hills, you've found the right place. Collosodo and 'a timeless place, absolutely peaceful, ideal for a holiday to' teach relaxation, but also the discovery of the Val d'Orcia and its typical products and its wines.The beauty of the place has also impressed the director ridley scott who chose it to shoot some scenes of the Gladiator movie.In Pienza were filmed scenes of the film The English Patient , I Medici and The Twilight in Montepulciano.
In the small village of Monticchiello you will find three restaurants with excellent Tuscan cuisine, two bars with ice cream , a small supermarket, and a bakery that sells bread, pizza and cookies.
