CASA BIONDI

Casa Biondi is a true masterpiece of design — once a fading farmhouse, now transformed into a classically furnished home set amid one of the most beautiful wine-producing estates in the Val d’Orcia. Standing proudly on a hilltop across from the Castiglion del Bosco estate, this is Montalcino, a legendary region renowned for its wine — most notably the full-bodied Brunello di Montalcino — as well as its exceptional honey.

Spanning 693m² (7,461 sq ft), Casa Biondi offers no shortage of space. Outside, guests will find landscaped gardens and lawns, a heated outdoor pool set in natural stone, a pergola-covered barbecue terrace, and truly spectacular views. Inside, the villa showcases designer fabrics, wood and terracotta flooring, fabulously high ceilings, and wonderful touches such as indulgent walk-in wardrobes, along with beautifully appointed rooms furnished in antique and handcrafted pieces. Just 2.5km away lies the Borgo of Castiglion del Bosco, home to two exceptional restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre, the Rose Buds children’s club, and an infinity pool overlooking Montalcino and the spectacular Val d’Orcia. The living room features an authentic Tuscan fireplace, while a dedicated library area offers the perfect retreat for a quiet moment with a book.

The gardens surrounding the villa feature expansive lawns, plenty of mature trees, and attractive flower beds. The villa itself sits just off the cypress-lined driveway leading to the Borgo, close to the sweeping curves of the newly built 18-hole golf course.

The views, in a word, are spectacular — sweeping across the estate and out over the Val d’Orcia, with truly fantastic sunsets each evening. Nearly three-quarters of the estate remains blanketed in forest, home to wild boar, deer, fox, porcupine, badger, hawks, and pheasant. Each season brings its own diverse mix of flora, adding visual drama and fragrance throughout the year — Italian stone pine, chestnut, ancient oak, olive trees, and stately Italian cypress sit alongside smaller species such as bay laurel, thyme, rosemary, vivid red poppies, and acres of terraced grapevines.
