About this property
Beautiful private villa for 11 people with private pool, WIFI and TV, close to Montepulciano
Villa Scianellone is an ancient stone and brick villa in a privileged, hilly and panoramic position. You will be able to fully experience a building whose origins date back to the 14th century and which preserves intact its original structure with its terracotta floors and brick arches, a plunge into the past, into the ancient Tuscan peasant traditions. The villa is set in an enchanted place, shrouded in peace and tranquillity, where you can relax and enjoy the harmony and serenity of the Tuscan landscape. You will find Villa Scianellone 1.5 km from the town of Torrita di Siena, a characteristic and turreted medieval village. In the village you will find shops, restaurants and services of all kinds. If you like walking, the village can also be reached on foot, and we certainly recommend spending an evening there, for dinner out or for an aperitif in one of its ancient and particular piazzas. In a few minutes by car you can reach the beautiful villages of Montefollonico (10 km) and Montepulciano (12 km), which are well worth a visit and a stop, where you can taste the typical dishes and above all the prestigious and renowned wines of the area such as the 'Nobile di Montepulciano'. Villa Scianellone is surrounded by lush, silvery olive groves, vineyards and meadows that are part of the property. All around the villa you will find a large and well-kept garden (about 5,000 m2), where you will find a cool pine forest equipped with games for your children and the beautiful swimming pool (size 5x10 m - depth 1.20 - 1.80 m - open from 01st May to 30th September). In the pool's solarium your lazy days will flow by in the warm summer air. For your open-air dinners and grill parties there is a comfortable wooden porch, table, benches and barbecue. Even your small four-legged friends will be welcome at Villa Scianellone.

Location is brilliant, being a comfortable walk to the town, and a pool overlooking the local area. Hosts were incredibly accommodating and the house is truly beautiful. Perfect for a group or big family, with plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. Highly highly recommend.

Villa très bien placée, au calme au milieu des oliviers avec vue panoramique sur Torrita di Siena et plus loin Montepulciano. Équipement complet. La piscine, le jardin et même le barbecue sont discrètement entretenus très tôt le matin. A noter que l'accès en voiture par un petit chemin n'est pas aisé.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very well located villa, in a quiet area among the olive trees with a panoramic view of Torrita di Siena and Montepulciano. Fully equipped. The swimming pool, the garden and even the barbecue are discreetly maintained early in the morning. Please note that access by car via a small road is not easy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa as a party of 6 adults.
The grounds are well maintained and picturesque with pandemic views. Plenty of car parking space. The pool is regularly
maintained by the owners who come by each morning to clean it and was regularly used by us during our stay.
A couple of things to note, the facilities within the villa could be found lacking especially for a larger party, as the villa holds up to 11.
The BBQ to use was great, but be prepared to buy your own fuel.
Tourist tax was payable on arrival which wasn’t clear beforehand.
All in all some great memories were made at the villa and we would definitely return!

We enjoyed this wonderful villa in a group of 9 people. As the weather was chilly we used the open fireplace in the large living room. We enjoyed cooking in the very good equipped kitchen which had enough dishes for all of us . The rooms are elegant and functional, the design looks like the family moved out only a few days ago and not steril like in a hotel. Mauro, the owner, and his wife are very engaged and helpful and take lovely care of house and the large garden. It was a great stay and we do recommend this wonderful house!
Das Haus ist sehr schön restauriert und gut eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber, Fedona und Mauro, waren unglaublich aufmerksam und freundlich. Sie täglich vorbei um nachzufragen, ob alles in Ordnung ist. Wir hatten sehr nette Gespräche. Unser Hund, Roni, hat den Aufenthalt und vor allem den schönen grossen Garten sehr genossen.

Wir waren eine Woche in der Villa Scianellone und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Villa ist ruhig auf einem Hügel gegenüber Torrita di Siena gelegen. Vom schön gelegenen etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Pool kann man sogar bis Montepulciano sehen. Die Villa selbst ist einem guten und sauberen Zustand, wenn auch die Räume durch die für eine antike Villa typischen kleinen Fenster etwas wenig Licht haben. Das spielt aber kaum eine Rolle, weil man sich meist auf der Terrasse oder am Pool aufhält oder ohnehin unterwegs ist. Die sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Eigentümer schauen jeden morgen vorbei, um den Pool oder sogar den Griller zu reinigen. Es gibt auch WLAN, wenn auch die Geschwindigkeit etwas bescheiden ist... im Urlaub hat man ja ohnehin mehr Zeit:-) Insgesamt können wir die Villa jedenfalls weiterempfehlen.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We stayed at Villa Scianellone for a week and enjoyed it very much. The villa is quietly situated on a hill opposite Torrita di Siena. You can even see as far as Montepulciano from the beautifully located, somewhat aging pool. The villa itself is in a good and clean condition, even if the rooms have a little bit of light due to the small windows typical of an ancient villa. But that hardly matters because you are mostly on the terrace or by the pool or are out and about anyway. The very nice and helpful owners stop by every morning to clean the pool or even the grill. There is also WiFi, even if the speed is a bit slow ... on vacation you have more time anyway :-) All in all, we can recommend the villa to others.

Une mention particulière aux propriétaires, toujours disponibles et sympathiques, ainsi que l'emplacement idyllique du lieu. A titre indicatif nous étions 6 adultes et 2 enfants de 1 et 3 ans.

Beautiful villa in heart of Tuscany
The villa is very beautiful with great views. There were 13 of us and we all very much enjoyed our stay. The pool is terrific. You can just sit out there and take it all in. Great seating for meals both indoors and outdoors. House is fully stocked for cooking. Only issue might be that the two bedrooms on the third floor are quite small and can be hot in the dead of summer. The 4 bedrooms on second floor are nice size for couples. Bonus is that the den has a sleeper sofa. Town is a walk away so you can stroll in for dinner. The owners stop by daily to clean pool and take care of the grounds. They were very helpful, but you need to know some Italian.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place and we will most definitely return.

Lovely Villa, just as the pictures show - maybe even better. Lovely setting with fabulous view over Terra di Siena from the pool. Owners are very helpful and friendly and rightfully proud of their house, but be prepared to speak Italian or have good sign language!
Enjoy languid lunches in the garden and fun dinners at the long table inside.

An excellent week (late July) in a most outstanding property - as others have said, the photos do not do it true justice. Family (9 adults, a 6 year old grandson and a 5 month old granddaughter and a dog) from all over the world gathered for a most memorable holiday. The villa, its expansive grounds and locality were everything, and more, that we could have hoped for. Sincere thanks to Ilaria (host) for her warm welcome and assistance and her wonderful parents who, daily and totally unobtrusively, tended the grounds, cleaned the stunning pool and even cleaned the BBQ! I cannot speak highly enough of what we experienced and unreservedly recommend Villa Scianellone as a perfect place from which to enjoy Tuscany.

Just a fantastic location. The villa is in great shape and the owners are on site every morning to clean the pool, clean the BBQ and fill up with wood and adress any issue that may arise. All in all we can not think of anything negative to say.
