Stone pathways lead from this lovingly-restored Italian home to a vivid blue swimming pool that overlooks a nearby forest. Inside, rustic brick arches divide spacious rooms featuring finely-crafted furniture and relaxed ambience. At the shaded, viewpoint garden table, guests can plan trips to the medieval village of Rapale, generations-old family trattorias, and Siena’s world-famous piazza.

Sunrise at Borgo Gerlino bathes the surrounding woodland, plantations and olive trees in golden light, before spreading across the traditional tiled roof and rich, mottled stone exterior of the home. Guests are served with a delicious breakfast courtesy of the home’s fully equipped kitchen, with a selection of airy alfresco dining spots in the garden. Easily prepare for the day with the home’s 9 ensuite bathrooms, complete with ample space and tiled elegance. As the morning heats up, a comprehensive heating / cooling system ensures the ideal climate is retained. After a full day exploring the locality, relax in the garden with a sunset banquet of local dishes and vibrant wine.

The culinary wealth and visual appeal of rural Tuscany is yours to experience from Borgo Gerlino. The hilltop village of Rapale, replete with quiet lanes and fairytale stone towers, is within walking distance. A short drive through lush countryside and olive plantations will bring guests to pleasant roadside restaurants and wineries, where the region’s bounty can be savored. Drink in the frescos and ancient convent at Monte San Savino, or take in the antique splendor of the UNESCO-listed Piazza del Campo in Siena.
