About this property
Beneath the golden Tuscan sun, overlooking the romantic landscapes of the Val d'Orcia, Villa Leccetto invites you into a world where elegance, comfort and authenticity blend gracefully. This refined village residence marries historic architecture with the beauty of nature, offering a remarkable setting for those in search of Tuscany’s most treasured pleasures.
Set within the medieval village of Castelmuzio, this handsome house comprises nine bedrooms across three individual apartments, each thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of its surroundings while delivering the contemporary comforts of elegant living.
From the earthy tones and garden patio of the ground-floor apartment with direct pool access, to the elevated elegance of the first-floor abode where generous windows frame the surrounding hills, each space tells its own story. The top-floor apartment, with exposed wooden beams and skylights, offers a poetic retreat beneath the stars for those drawn to rustic charm with a sophisticated touch.
Inside, open-plan living areas, fully equipped kitchens and beautifully furnished bedrooms create an atmosphere of relaxed luxury. Outside, olive trees and Tuscan grounds frame two private swimming pools, inviting long afternoons and al-fresco moments on the terrace with a good book or a glass of wine in hand.
Step into village life with a stroll through Castelmuzio, where cobbled lanes, a single restaurant and a well-stocked grocery store create an atmosphere of gentle authenticity. With roots tracing back to the Etruscan-Roman era, it’s a place to slow down and savour the richness of tradition.
Surrounded by some of Tuscany’s most iconic destinations, Villa Leccetto is perfectly placed for cultural and culinary discovery. Pienza enchants with its Renaissance symmetry and famed Pecorino; Montepulciano and Montalcino seduce with world-famous wines and sweeping vistas. And just over an hour away, Siena and Arezzo promise a deep dive into Tuscan heritage, art and architectural splendour.
In the medieval village of Castelmuzio, Villa Leccetto enjoys an enviable position in southern Tuscany, only a 10-minute drive from the unesco-listed town of Pienza. This idyllic corner of the Valdichiana Senese is defined by undulating hills, olive groves and golden wheat fields that glow in the afternoon sun.
Wander the cobbled lanes of Castelmuzio itself - a beautifully preserved historic village with origins dating back to the Etruscan-Roman era. With characterful lanes and pretty houses that create a picture-postcard scene that feels lost in time, Castelmuzio is home to a restaurant and a good-sized grocery store. Meanwhile, supermarkets and other useful amenities can be found in Sinalunga (14km).
Just a short drive away lies Pienza (9km), a Renaissance gem celebrated for its harmonious architecture and famous Pecorino cheese. Its elegant piazzas and sweeping views over the Val d’Orcia offer an unforgettable taste of Tuscan beauty and history.
Slightly further afield, Montepulciano (21km) tempts with its grand palazzos, ancient wine cellars and the deep red richness of its Vino Nobile. Montalcino (26km), another jewel in the Tuscan crown, is a must for lovers of Brunello and atmospheric hilltop views.
Nature lovers will find endless inspiration in the landscapes of the Valdichiana Senese and Val d’Orcia. Rolling hills, sunflower fields and cypress-lined roads make for idyllic walking or cycling routes, while rustic trattorias dot the countryside offering long, leisurely lunches with a view. The region’s quiet charm makes every outing a sensory experience, whether you're tasting olive oil at a local farm or soaking in the colours of the golden hour over the vineyards.
Villa Leccetto also offers the perfect base for day trips to two of Tuscany’s cultural treasures. Both Arezzo and Siena are just over an hour’s drive away, each offering a distinct slice of Italian heritage. From Siena’s majestic Duomo and shell-shaped Piazza del Campo to Arezzo’s Etruscan roots and antique markets, these cities brim with art, history and local flavour.
