About This Villa
Villa Hortus sits ten minutes outside Siena's medieval walls, in a manicured garden designed by a serious landscape architect — three storeys of original Tuscan structure, restored to keep the original bones while upgrading every system. The ground floor carries late 18th-century boiserie lifted from a Parisian hotel, 17th-century still-life paintings, and whimsical decor the owner has collected from travels around the world. The professional stainless-steel kitchen looks contemporary; the elevator connecting all three floors is the rarest amenity in a Tuscan villa we know.
Five en-suite bedrooms across the main villa and a separate annex accommodate ten guests. The second floor is given over to a private wellness room: Technogym equipment, a Pilates Reformer, yoga mats, a massage bed. The annex doubles as a home cinema with an XXL screen. Outside: a 12-metre heated white-stone pool, a pergola that seats eighteen for dinner, a working pizza oven, a private orchard and vegetable garden you are encouraged to pick from, and a canopy of holm oaks. A two-person staff lives on the property year-round.
