Holiday apartment for max. 4 adults + 1 child
Montalcino, Tuscany, (Val d’Orcia), Italy

This holiday apartment is nestled into the lush landscape of the Brunello vineyards in the little village of Sant’Angelo, outside the town of Montalcino in Siena province, providing romantic accommodation for all lovers of Tuscany.

Our home is peaceful and relaxing. It is a row house in Tuscan style, with a small garden hosting an olive tree named Gina, in memory of our beloved granmother.

From our garden you can marvel at and take a 5 minute stroll to Sant’Angelo in Colle, a pictoresque suburb of Montalcino. This ancient village is located on top of a hill surrounded by endless Brunello wineyards. It is a corner of the real Tuscany and keeps an original and genuine atmosphere. It inspires many artists from all over the world to paint the breathtaking sceneries and sunsets that Val d'Orcia can offer.

We love opening for our guests a door towards the real Tuscan life. We can organize wine, cheese and honey tastings as well as bike and hot air balloon tours and help you set up excursions around Val d'Orcia (including a trip to an alpaca farm).

In order for you to truly enjoy Val d'Orcia, we recommend coming by car. We can't wait to meet you!

Your home in Tuscany, land of Brunello.

The little village of Sant’Angelo is about 10km from the little town of Montalcino with its colourful markets, shops and a good range of cafés and restaurants with regional specialities. The nearest cafés and restaurants are only about 500 metres away in the centre of Sant’Angelo. The nearby Argiano, Velona and Poggio alle Mura castles make worthwhile day trips.

We are two sisters, Minnie and Jenny. Same parents, but one arrived 22 years and one day after the other :-)

Different ages, different personalities, different locations: Jenny lives in Dublin while Minnie lives in Tuscany. Yet, we both have the same mission at heart: hosting in our homes people from all over the world. There are experiences one should live at least once to feel and appreciate the beauty and meaning of life: nature, sun, wine, love, compassion, peace, relaxation.

For all this, we really hope you’ll choose to make our home your own, to unplug and unwind surrounded by the scenery of Val d'Orcia, UNESCO Heritage Site, and its gorgeous nature. 

Hills, cypresses, Brunello’s wineyards and springs of thermal water will fill your eyes and hearts with wonder. You'll be able to feel the immensity of the universe spending your evenings watching a bright starry sky while sipping a glass of Brunello wine in our garden.
