Nestled in Siena's countryside is this exquisite Tuscan villa that welcomes up to 14 guests. This period villa has a picture-perfect setting with eight bedrooms and a host of original features that elevate it above the norm. It appeared in a seminal arthouse film by Bernardo Bertolucci and has graced the pages of internationally-renowned magazines such as Architectural Digest, House & Garden, and Class.

The vineyards and hills of Chianti Classico are famous for one of the world's most popular wines, gourmet food, enchanting landscapes that have inspired artists and poets, and medieval architecture. Unsurprisingly, this region of Tuscany has appeared in everything from films and artwork to magazines and epic television dramas. It is a place to create memories that will last forever.

An arrow-straight avenue lined with olive groves and a charming roundabout that you may recognise from Bertolucci's 'Stealing Beauty' leads you to the majestic entrance of Villa La Rotonda. The villa itself is formed by the main building and a medieval tower, which has been sympathetically decorated in a classical style, retaining many of the original features. The interior showcases the designer's eye for detail, with sumptuous furnishings in the living room and dining room balanced by the modern convenience of a fully equipped, professional-standard kitchen. Multiple living areas, both in the villa and the tower, allow guests to mingle and socialise in complete comfort.

The villa's sublime bedrooms are a delight, with soft silk drapes, period furniture, views of the verdant countryside, and stunning gardens. The main villa has five bedrooms, including a king-size primary suite, two double bedrooms, and a cosy single bedroom, all with ensuite bathrooms lavishly decorated in the finest Italian marble. The remaining three bedrooms are located in the tower, offering three double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms.

The exterior of Villa La Rotonda is just as beguiling as the inside, with mature gardens as far as the eye can see. Ancient cypress trees offer shady spots where you can snooze away the afternoon or set up an easel and capture the beauty of the Tuscan landscape in watercolours. Take a dip in the pool before firing up the BBQ for an al fresco meal on the terrace. Villa La Rotonda is divine.
