Description
Property Summary
Nestled atop a gentle hill at 380 metres above sea level, Rosa dei Venti is an exceptional vacation rental that offers an extraordinary retreat in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, in the municipality of Fabro, Italy. Positioned at the end of a winding dirt track, this elegantly designed farmhouse stands as a harmonious presence within an enchanted rural landscape, where cultivated fields, rolling green hills, and ancient hilltop villages compose a living painting of timeless beauty. Built entirely in light local stone in full respect of the surrounding environment, the property combines all modern comforts with the warmth of traditional materials, including stripped chestnut wood-beamed ceilings, natural terracotta bricks, and warm parquet flooring throughout, all accented with a refined Provençal-inspired palette of white and grey enlivened by bright touches of colour. The luminous living spaces open through French windows onto a magnificent private yard of approximately 4,000 square metres, fully enclosed with wire mesh and chestnut-wood poles and set within a broader estate of around 2 hectares, where expertly designed gardens, fragrant Mediterranean shrubs, and elegant outdoor seating areas invite complete relaxation. A covered parking area is conveniently located immediately after the entrance gate, just a few steps from the house, ensuring effortless arrival. High-speed Internet WiFi is available throughout the property, keeping you connected while you enjoy the surrounding tranquillity.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Rosa dei Venti are a true celebration of the Umbrian landscape and the art of open-air living. The garden surrounding the house is a succession of beautifully maintained grassy areas supported by shrubs of Mediterranean herbs, including lavender, rosemary, myrtle, and thyme, which adorn the wall-escarpment and fill the constant breeze with freshness and fragrance. Young olive trees, pomegranates, and cypress trees punctuate the large expanse of lawn, while winding paths lined with flowering tufts of gaura lead to the 2 ground floor entrances of the house. Two outdoor areas have been thoughtfully arranged beneath the porticos in front of the house: one dedicated to alfresco dining, positioned beside the dining room French window and equipped with a barbecue, and another designed for relaxation, furnished with a sofa and chairs. A short path climbs through the scenic lavender and rosemary-covered wall and over a small wooden ramp to reach the spectacular pool area, a natural terrace that stretches to the horizon and embraces the lands of the lower Val di Chiana. At its centre lies the stunning non-heated infinity pool, south-facing and equally enchanting by night, where a sophisticated interplay of internal and external lighting creates a magical atmosphere. The pool measures 6 x 13 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, is bordered with ceramic tiles, lined in PVC, and features salt purification. Access to the water is via large steps. Elegant sunbeds and small tables are scattered throughout the surrounding area, which is further enhanced by a lovely wooden gazebo covered in climbing wisteria and roses. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival. The swimming pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

Rosa dei Venti is configured to accommodate up to 8 guests across 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed thoughtfully over multiple floors. A short paved terracotta path leads to the portico, which serves as the welcoming entrance to the living area.

Property Summary
Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of the Val d'Elsa, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Caterina is a beautifully restored rustic stone farmhouse that offers an exceptional vacation rental experience just 5 minutes from the historic centre of San Gimignano. Originally a working farmhouse, the property has been thoughtfully enlarged and renovated in full respect of its original character and the exquisitely Tuscan architectural tradition, where wood and terracotta define every room, and antique family furniture together with details evoking the rural history and local traditions create an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. Set on a hillside within a property covering approximately 10,000 square meters, Villa Caterina enjoys a superb panoramic position overlooking rolling hills, cultivated vineyards, olive groves, and the iconic towers of San Gimignano. The villa benefits from a generous yard surrounded by a lush and meticulously maintained garden, private parking within the gated grounds, and high-speed Internet WiFi connectivity throughout, ensuring that every comfort is available without compromising the sense of peaceful seclusion that defines this remarkable retreat. Prior to each season, Villa Caterina undergoes a thorough technical inspection to verify the consistency of its description, the condition of all listed accessories, and the overall quality, cleanliness, and comfort offered to every guest.

The outdoor spaces of Villa Caterina are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and panoramic splendour. Once through the entrance gate, a row of oleanders welcomes you into a lush and overflowing garden that surrounds the house, featuring an impressive variety of plants and flowers in a profusion of colours and scents. Pines, olives, cypresses, and fruit trees dot the lawns, which alternate with stone-paved paths and bushes of roses and Mediterranean herbs, delineating the various set-up areas. Fragrant climbing plants, lemon trees, and beds of geraniums adorn every corner of the garden, while the olive grove extends across the majority of the property's 10,000 square meters. The pergola in front of the living and dining room, covered in trumpet vines, Virginia creeper, and wisteria, provides an enchanting setting for outdoor dining and savouring the culinary delicacies of Tuscany. A veranda at the front of the house, shaded by climbing Virginia creeper, offers a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying a glass of local wine. Throughout the garden, seats and benches have been positioned in the most scenic spots to allow you to contemplate the magnificent hilly landscape at leisure.
