A well-maintained lawn, ideal for ball games or enjoying a peaceful moment, extends to one side of the house.

Long summer lunches and siestas outside under the shade of a pergola are essential to experiencing the best of Villa Tirelli. The only decision is which part of the garden to choose! Morning coffee overlooking the olive groves, dinner together under the large portico by the kitchen, a siesta or prosecco by the pool while admiring the panoramic views at sunset over the lake – the choice is yours.

For a memorable meal, try the cook service for a taste of local cuisine in the comfort of your own home.

Villa Tirelli works equally well for a group of friends or family group as there are five bedrooms, four of which are double and the fifth is a twin. Each one is unique in style and furnished for comfort.

Location:

Villa Tirelli is situated south of Siena, just 5 minutes drive from the town of San Casciano dei Bagni. The area is known as the ‘Val d’Orcia’, recognised as one of the most striking and historic areas of Italy, now a UNESCO World Cultural Landscape. The beauty of its distinctive flat chalk plains and medieval hill towns has remarkably remained untouched over the centuries, so you can still admire the same landscapes which inspired Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci.

The nearest town of San Casciano dei Bagni is where you will find local shops for supplies and a range of eateries from a simple trattoria to restaurant "Daniela". There are other nearby towns to explore, as well as the seasonal festivals and morning markets.

The name ‘’dei bagni’’ means “of the baths” and refers to the thermal springs of the town. A spa offers various health and beauty treatments or you can choose to bathe for free in the hot sulphurated waters of Bagno Bossolo and Bagno Grande.

Staying in this area really gives you a connection with its historical routes, as you dip into the same springs as the dignitaries of the Roman Empire. The healing qualities of the thermal springs have drawn visitors through the ages, each leaving their mark, from the Etruscans and Romans, through the Renaissance right up to the present day.

Active groups will love exploring the region by way of walking or cycle paths. Within easy reach by car are stunning hill towns and the white thermal pools of Bagni San Filippo. Tuscany is also famous for its wine so be sure to sample the best for a real taste Tuscany, including Brunello from Montalcino and Vino Nobile from Montepulciano.

Cross over the border into nearby Umbria and discover the delights of Lake Trasimeno. Take a boat ride, enjoy its family-friendly beaches and pretty lakeside villages.

A day trip to Siena is a must, a one and a half hour drive from the villa. With an array of fabulous churches, galleries, restaurants, Renaissance and Gothic architecture and a stunning central piazza which hosts the famous Palio horse race, it’s a fascinating city for all ages.
