Welcome home !
Welcome to Villa San Giovanni, a beautifully renovated stone house in authentic Tuscan style, featuring exposed beams, a tiled ceiling, and terracotta floors. At the entrance of the property, a grove of around fifty olive trees welcomes you, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. Nestled near a charming hamlet, this house is easily accessible from the main road and offers breathtaking 360° views from its hilltop location, situated between the Val d’Orcia (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the Crete Senesi (famous for their clay hill landscapes). The villages of San Giovanni d’Asso and Montisi, with their grocery stores, restaurants, bars, bank, pharmacy, and gas station, are just a 5-minute drive away.
This is not just a simple vacation home; it is a true haven of peace where you will feel at home, living the Tuscan way throughout your stay.
The house is equipped with air conditioning and mosquito nets, ensuring optimal comfort during the hot summer days.
On the ground floor, you will discover a spacious open living area, which includes a cozy lounge with an antique wood stove, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. The living room and kitchen open onto a terrace overlooking a large enclosed garden of 1600 m², which also features a private swimming pool.
The ground floor also houses a bedroom with two single beds and storage space, as well as a bathroom equipped with an Italian shower, sink, toilet, and bidet.
Upstairs, you will find a comfortable bedroom with a double bed and storage, as well as an additional bathroom with an Italian shower, toilet, and washing machine.
The enclosed garden offers unobstructed views of the surrounding hills. As night falls, settle comfortably on one of the sun loungers to admire breathtaking sunsets.
The private pool is perfect for relaxation, with sun loungers and towels provided for your convenience.
Calm and relaxation in a postcard-perfect setting perfectly define this home.
Located in the municipality of Montalcino, famous for its Brunello di Montalcino, this house is at the heart of the Val d’Orcia, allowing you to explore Tuscany and its renowned cities such as Siena (45 min), Montepulciano (30 min), Montalcino (20 min), and Pienza (20 min). Florence is just 1.5 hours away, and the Mediterranean Sea is 2 hours away.
Whether you are a wine enthusiast, an art lover, a fan of outdoor activities (hiking, biking, horseback riding), or simply seeking relaxation in the garden or by the pool, your stay will be etched in your memory forever.

Sono felice every day in Tuscany !
What a week ! We came to Tuscany hoping for a wonderful trip and somehow it was even better than we imagined ! Your beautiful home was the perfect place for us to slow down, explore, eat and drink far too well and simply enjoy being together.
Thank you especially for all the little suggestions and local knowledge along the way. They led us to places and experiences we never would have found on our own and some became our favorite moments of the week.
We leave with full hearts, wonderful memories and a love for this little corner of Tuscany ! One week is all it took - we are already working on our next trip, this time with our children.
Enjoy the little pot - and keep the basil alive until we get back.
With love and many thanks,

Lasting memories !
Welcoming us into your home made this trip even more beautiful and given us lasting memories. We had gorgeous morning walks and the view from our breakfast table in your garden is even better ! Thanks for the photographer recommendation, she did a great job. We can't wait to see Tuscany again.

The trip was wonderful!
We’ve left this little corner of paradise. I wanted to thank you once again for the wonderful week we spent here and for your great advice! The “dolce vita” suited us perfectly - it had been a long time since we’d spent nights like that and we really enjoyed this beautiful region and the tranquility of the house. I hope we’ll have the chance to come back.

We’ll be back!
Everything went really well – lovely house, brilliant pool and stunning views. Carine was great to communicate with, and there was a book at the property full of tips for exploring the beautiful region of Tuscany. We’ll be back. Thank you

Wonderful stay !
We had a great stay at Carine’s home! It was nice and cool and had plenty of space for the family. The standout was having our own pool, which was so nice because of the hot weather. Carine was a wonderful host, warm, proactive, and providing clear instructions to everything.Thank you for a wonderful stay and hosting !

Simply PERFECT!!
Look no further—this is paradise in Italy. Our expectations were exceeded. This property embodies everything you could dream of in a Tuscan home. The scenery is majestic in every direction. Carine is an exceptional host; everything is designed for comfort and a warm, welcoming stay. The house is immaculate, and what can we say about the private pool? There’s so much to see, eat, and drink in the area… yum! We were enchanted by the charming little villages. We recommend this place to our friends and family without the slightest reservation.

A true slice of Tuscan Paradise !
Here's a tighter version : A slice of Tuscan Paradise ! An incredible stay in the heart of Tuscany. The property is beautiful, with breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets over the pool - the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The location is ideal for visiting Siena, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, San Quirico d'Orcia and the region's world-class wineries, making it an excellent base for experiencing the best of Tuscany. The home was perfect for our family of six - spacious, confortable, and thoughtfully equipped. Our host was wonderful, providing great local recommendations and making us feel welcome from start to finish. If you're looking for the perfect blend of relaxation and easy access to Tuscany's most iconic towns and wine regions, this is it. A true slice of Tuscan paradise.

Margaret, USA (June 2025)
Amazing !
First of all I cannot say enough about our host Carine She was the super host of all the host we had on our month long vacation of Italy and France. Carine was literary there instantly whenever we had a question or needed help with things, she went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience in Tuscany. She was absolutely lovely. Our accommodations exceeded our expectations Every morning I enjoyed my coffee outdoors to admire the amazing views. In hindsight I wish we spent more time on the property This is the only place I would stay should I find myself back in Tuscany. I would 100% recommend it !
Ann, Canada (May 2025)
This is IT !!!
We cannot rave enough about our tremendous experience at this location. Carine is the absolute BEST host and we feel we have a new friend in Tuscany. An amazing place to call home for a few days ! We WILL be back !
Karena, Canada (May 2025)
Quiet retreat from tourist areas
This property in near everything we wanted to see yet far away from the busy tourist areas. Everything we wanted to see was a short drive away. At the end of the day we could retreat back to our villa and relax and get a good nights rest. Carine was a real sweetheart and very responsive.
Doug, USA (September 2024)
I will recommend your house
Sadly, our holiday is over. I will gladly recommend your house to family and friends if the need accommodation in Tuscany. Thank you once again.
Vivian, USA (August 2024)
We loved it
We absolutely loved our stay at Carine's place. It's rare when you have a place that is not only peaceful, private and beautiful, but also very convenient to so many medieval towns in Tuscany. The home is fully stocked with everything you need, spacious and peaceful. The area was going through a heat wave when we were there so the AC and the pool kept us cool. Carine was a super host, super responsive, proactive and gave excellent local recommendations. We loved exploring the Montisi area from Carine's place !
Diana, USA (July 2024)
A Slice of Heaven in Tuscany
It's difficult to describe just how fabulous it is. The listing is completely accurate and the host could give a master class on how to host gracefully and with kindness. You will lack nothing staying here. The location is spectacular easy to find, easy to park, easy to access. The view, WOW ! The home PERFECT ! Easy access to local villages, larger cities, shopping, etc. You will not regret staying here. We already are dreaming of a return !
Kellie, USA (July 2024)
Fall in love with the place
Carine is a superhost. So responsive, so kind. Books in 3 languages with all the tourist details you need. A lovely heartwarming welcome. And what a beautiful place to stay at. A delightful place, a superhost and in a picturesque setting that makes you fall in love with the place.
Leon, Netherland (June 2024)
Fabulous location and views. Felt like home
Carine made everything so easy and welcoming. She sett us up with a bike shop that delivered e-bikes so we could tour all around the hills of Tuscany for a week. The views from this lovely place are dreamy. Kitchen was well stocked for making breakfast and dinner to enjoy on the delightful patio. Definitely looked forward to returning to our home away from home every evening after a day of exploring the towns, food and wine of the area. LOVED our host and her warm, confortable home.
Victoria, USA (June 2024)

Under the Tuscan Sun
Our first trip to Tuscany. The house was absolutely located on the most gorgeous area of Val d'Orcia the views are as if you are looking at a painting. Carine is a fabulous host with great suggestions on where to visit and things to do in the surrounding villages. This was our first trip but not our last.
Heather, USA (May 2024)
This is the one !
If you were like my husband and I, looking at a ton of different properties and locations to stay at for months, you can stop now. This is your place. The location is perfect, the views are perfect from every room and outdoor spaces, and to top of it off the host was incredible. It felt like we were in a complete dream world. We plan to come back here many times in the future. Thank you Carine !
Akari, USA (October 2023)

The property was perfection, clean & confortable, amazing grounds and pool and stunning and convenient location. Quintessential Tuscany views from every window and easy jumping off point for trips to Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Bagno Vignoni. Could not have turned out more perfectly. Great host as well. Wish we were still there.

Perfect Tuscan Vacation !
My husband, daughter and I loved our 10 days stay. It was a perfect location to take many day trips to nearby towns and a great place to relax and swim.

A very pleasant house in the heart of Val d'Orcia !
We really enjoyed this quiet week in the heart of Val d'Orcia. The house (typical, in stone, with swimming pool) is really very pleasant, nestled between Siena, Montalcino and Montepulciano. Carine welcomed us warmly and passed on her passion for this magnificient region. Do not hesitate !
