## About This Villa

Once a country residence for several Italian aristocratic families, this four-storey estate above Siena was restored over two years and now reads as a private property with its own staff. The arrival is a cypress-lined drive that ends at an entrance court. Inside, four floors of restored interiors hold eight bedrooms, plus a private wellness suite with sauna, a small gym, and a clay tennis court at the side of the formal garden. The layout suits a large group that wants both the public rooms for long dinners and the private upper floors for quiet. A daily housekeeper and a kitchen team are part of the lease, which is how the estate has always been run. Siena is twenty minutes by car; the Crete Senesi backroads start at the property gate.

Insider knowledge

### What we love about Villa Cardinale

A grand historic mansion on a working wine and olive oil estate, restored across two patient years. Eight king bedrooms, en-suite for each, and the Tuscan wine country at your door — Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano all close enough for slow afternoons.
