The sizeable poolside deck offers a tranquil setting for sunrise yoga sessions or indulgent massage and wellness treatments in the fresh country air.

There is also a poolside bar with plenty of lounge seating, where guests can enjoy a refreshing drink while enjoying views of sprawling vineyards and the beautiful countryside beyond.

The villa’s beautiful grand terrace and private, fenced grounds also make it the perfect venue for destination weddings and memorable special events.

Initially built in the 16th century, the farmhouse has been expertly renovated and restored, transforming it into a stunning luxury villa with a separate guest house. Meshed Wi-Fi, air conditioning and underfloor heating throughout, and a modern sound system makes the villa as comfortable as a private home.

An inviting lounge with a crackling fireplace creates a cosy space for guests to enjoy evenings in while sipping a cocktail from the antique Parisian bar. Though house and table wines are complimentary for guests during their stay, a beautiful wine cellar is stocked with exceptional vintage and prominent regional wines available for purchase.

One of the villa’s most unique features is the full Roman Spa, with its 10-person indoor whirlpool, steam room, dry sauna, and sensory shower, offering guests a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

There are eight bedrooms spread across the main villa and guest house, plus a study that can be converted to a ninth bedroom for larger groups. Each beautifully appointed bedroom features a double bed with a custom-designed mattress and luxury linens, en-suite or private bathroom facilities, and modern comforts, including blackout curtains and bedside USB ports.

With its luxury interiors, private spa, and spacious outdoor living areas, Villa Ardore in Tuscany is the perfect choice for a countryside escape with family and friends or a truly memorable special event.
