Villa Morgana, nestled in the picturesque Siena-Val D'Orcia region of Tuscany, is the epitome of a classic Tuscan retreat set amidst breathtaking countryside. It's the perfect destination for family gatherings, offering an exceptional location that is simply ideal.

The main villa comprises a two-level structure with a capacity to accommodate up to 16 guests. On the ground floor, the villa boasts an elegant lounge with a cozy fireplace that overlooks the inviting swimming pool and the bountiful vegetable garden. Additionally, there is a charming dining room with panoramic views on both sides of the villa, thanks to an arched gallery, and a spacious kitchen conveniently located near the vegetable garden. Two delightful suites with double bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, complete with air conditioning, can also be found on this level.

The first floor, accessible via an independent entrance, features a generous kitchen with a comfortable living area and fireplace, a separate dining room, and a spacious living room adorned with a grand fireplace. On this floor, six superior double rooms await, each equipped with ceiling fans and en-suite bathrooms.

In the converted barn, guests can enjoy a wellness area with a sauna, a luxurious whirlpool bath, and a dressing room on one side, while the other side offers entertainment with a pool table. The guest cottage, fully air-conditioned, comprises a welcoming living room, a generously sized bedroom, a modern bathroom, and a convenient walk-in closet.

Villa Morgana boasts a total living space of 750 square meters and is nestled within a vast 200-hectare estate. The exterior spaces include a beautifully landscaped garden, ample parking, a charming vineyard, and five hectares of enchanting woodland. Guests also have the privilege of enjoying fresh seasonal vegetables and eggs from the resident chickens (when available).

This region of Tuscany, known for its extraordinary beauty, world-renowned wines, and rich artistic heritage, encompasses parts of the province of Florence, the entire province of Siena, and portions of the province of Arezzo. It lives up to its well-deserved reputation and offers a quintessential Tuscan experience. Its rolling landscapes, adorned with endless rows of cypress trees, majestic castles, and quaint medieval villages nestled among olive groves, create an idyllic backdrop rooted in history, tracing its origins to the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route connecting Rome to northern Italy and beyond.

Tuscany's exceptional wine and cheese production thrive here, with renowned varieties such as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti, Super Tuscans, and the exquisite pecorino Toscano cheese of Pienza. Notably, the nearby Bagno Vignoni hot springs in San Quirico offer a unique medieval spa experience centered around a stunning "water square." This region has also played a significant role in art history, being home to Vasari, the illustrious artist responsible for the design of the Uffizi Gallery as it stands today, and serving as the enchanting backdrop for Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning film "Life Is Beautiful."

In every way, Arezzo and its surrounding valley rank among the top three must-visit destinations in Tuscany. All of the iconic attractions that Tuscany is celebrated for are conveniently located in this extraordinary area.
