VILLA CHIUSA

Villa Chiusa forms part of the Castiglion del Bosco estate, home to the Borgo at its heart, with two fabulous restaurants, a state-of-the-art fitness and spa complex, tennis courts, one of Italy’s newest and most spectacular golf courses, a famous frescoed chapel, and a shimmering infinity pool overlooking both Montalcino and the raw, sweeping beauty of the Val d’Orcia. This is a truly stunning setting — the Val d’Orcia was awarded UNESCO World Cultural Landscape status in 1996, and it’s easy to see why, with gently undulating hills stretching beneath a vast open sky, the very definition of an artist’s dream. Nearby, Pienza stands as the “touchstone of Renaissance urbanism,” while the wine towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano, renowned for their rich Brunello and Vino Nobile wines, are just a stone’s throw away.

Villa Chiusa is a property of real elegance, with interiors that could easily have come from the stable of Ferragamo — designer fabrics, wood and terracotta flooring, wonderfully high ceilings, and generously proportioned, well-appointed rooms furnished with antique and handcrafted pieces. The living room features an authentic Tuscan fireplace, while the beautifully presented dining area leads through to a designer kitchen, the perfect spot for any budding chef to work their culinary magic. Upstairs, three beautiful bedrooms each come complete with their own en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the villa offers landscaped gardens and lawns, a heated outdoor pool set in natural stone alongside a pool house with kitchenette and bathroom, a pergola-covered barbecue terrace, a wood-fired pizza oven, and spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.
