Tuck yourself into Il Conte Farmhouse Retreat in the picturesque heart of Orentano and experience the simple pleasures of life in Tuscany. After picking up some fresh pastries from a local bakery, walk home to sip espresso alfresco and feel the warm countryside breeze while you lounge by the pool, which is open throughout the year. Later, unwind in the hot tub before heading out for dinner at one of the many restaurants around the lush countryside.
Prior arrival you’d never guess what awaits—traditional Tuscan farmhouse architecture with a contemporary-glam twist. Inside, colourful patterns, accents walls, and designer furnishings will surely spark a conversation or two during dinner parties while exposed-wood beams, and elegant designer furniture continue the luxurious traditional style. Outside, it’s like taking a step back in time: 15 acres of owner’s estate, 3 of which for your own and ideal for individual morning jogging. Catch up some reading beneath shady pergolas, work on your tan by the swimming pool. At dinner, the fully-equipped kitchen is sure to inspire your inner chef. Or, you could bring in a private chef to create a menu of delicious Italian cuisine. After dinner, take a bottle of wine out and sit on the pool edge while the sun sets over the rolling hills.
