The Rose of Time

This 18th-century Tuscan farmhouse is set to impress. It’s in the heart of the Tuscan countryside south of Siena, close to Sarteano, where you’ll find a maze of narrow streets, a medieval castle, and plenty of bars and restaurants. Tucked away in 25 acres of olive trees, cypresses and vines, this home is a haven. Spend your days swimming in the private pool or unwinding in the sauna or Turkish bath. Play tennis, hit the bowling green, or pootle around on bikes, soaking up the tranquillity of the luxurious setting. Begin each day with a breakfast buffet and let your host take care of your every need.
