Welcome to Villa Distinta, a beautiful 5-bedroom property conveniently set in the heart of Tuscany. Nestled in one of the most notable golf courses in the region, Distinta provides guests with a private, secluded getaway while still being within easy reach of the region's major cities of Siena, Florence and Pisa. This carefully restored property offers you the dream Tuscan villa experience with traditional Italian architecture dating back to the 1800s. Its romantic exterior does not mean compromising on comfort. Villa Distinta's understated elegance creates a sense of serenity, luxury, and style.
Distinta is the perfect escape for lovers of golf and large families looking to enjoy a chic private retreat immersed in the unique countryside ambience. Nestled inside a generous garden the villa's outdoor space creates a sense of tranquillity from the surrounding nature and iconic views of Tuscany's rolling green hills. The poolside sun loungers are where you are bound to spend your afternoons, cocktail in hand, absorbing the Tuscan sunshine while the children frolic in the private pool and play chase around the garden. The shaded outdoor seating area under the loggia of the ground floor provides a space to escape the midday heat. Why not savour your morning coffee in this peaceful corner before setting out for your adventures for the day. The first-floor patio is complete with a rustic outdoor dining area under a pergola. Allow our concierge service to organize a private chef to prepare a spread of the delicious local cuisine for you and your family to try al fresco, accompanied by a bottle of Chianti Riserva from a nearby vineyard. An incredible meal in this romantic setting under the stars is bound to be an evening you never forget.
Inside, the earthy tones, cotto floors, decorative wrought iron, stone walls and arched brick pillars create an authentic, welcoming Tuscan ambience. The spacious living area offers a number of separate but perfectly blended spaces for you and your guests to unwind. While the teenagers hang out in the sitting area with a flat-screen TV or try their hand at a game of pool in the game area, the adults can engage in conversation in the cosy seating area by the original fireplace. The high ceilings and glass doors flood this space with light, giving the room a bright and airy feeling. The modern, elegant furniture is accentuated with traditional details like the original wood beams and antique accessories.
Upstairs on the first floor is a fully equipped kitchen. The country chic style from the living room is mirrored in this space with an original hearth, brick tiles, large stone sink and wood detailing juxtaposed with sleek stainless-steel appliances and modern lighting. The provisional mixed with the contemporary is a timeless style. The large kitchen island is where you can enjoy a casual family breakfast. The adjacent dining room is a great space for anyone who loves entertaining. With a spacious table for up to 10 people and an additional sitting room which opens out on the covered patio, guests can flow seamlessly throughout the space.
There are so many unforgettable experiences to try during your time in Tuscany. One of the best things to do in Italy is undoubtedly organizing a private tour around some of the area's best vineyards. Chianti is the most famous wine-producing region in the vicinity boasting the famous wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole. Be sure to stop off in some of the smaller, boutique vineyards for the chance to sample some of their excellent produce, walk through the vines and maybe even meet the owner!
After exploring all the quaint historic villages dotted across the pristine landscape, why not try a day trip to the beautiful city of Florence? Bursting with incredible Renaissance art and medieval architecture it is hard to cram all of the sights into one afternoon. We recommend booking one of the terrific Tuscany tours around the city to ensure you don't miss any of the highlights.
This luxury villa in Tuscany is the perfect jumping-off point for many memorable Italian adventures. With its central location, elegant décor and luxurious amenities, Villa Distinta is sure to be the setting of your holiday of a lifetime.
