Villa Saracino offers breathtaking views, exquisite design, and absolute serenity.
Villa Saracino in Sarteano
Once a 16th-century convent, this enchanting villa has been lovingly transformed into a refined retreat that whispers both history and elegance. Here, time slows. Across the rolling fields, a centuries-old church rises gently on the horizon, a reminder of the sacred pathway that once connected the nuns who called this place home.
Today, Saracino welcomes guests into a world where timeless beauty meets modern luxury. The villa offers six beautifully appointed bedrooms with exquisite, ensuite, travertine marble bathrooms. Two of the rooms have twin beds, making them ideal for sharing.
Each room has been thoughtfully decorated by a Florentine designer with a contemporary flair softened by traditional Tuscan touches.
Beyond the private sanctuaries, the villa invites indulgence and relaxation. Refresh in the indoor splash pool with hydro-massage, energize in the personal gym, or gather in the guesthouse for an evening around the billiard table. Every corner of Saracino has been created to stir the senses and inspire connection, making it not just a place to stay, but a place to belong.
