Fattoria Il Santo  

Out in rural Monticiano, Tuscany—this farm stay sits steps from Val di Merse and the Basso Merse Nature Reserve. Terme Petriolo and Castello di Montepescini are nearby, making it a great base for countryside and thermal-bath outings. Pet-friendly and peacefully removed from the city center.

Rustic farmhouse vibes with 20 guestrooms and simple, well-appointed bathrooms (showers and bidets). The lobby has a fireplace and there's a private chapel on site. Expect country views, a library, ping-pong, picnic and barbecue areas, plus an attached winery and even safari-style activities for a touch of adventure.

Two outdoor pools (one seasonal), a massage room, wedding services, and an attached winery headline the offerings. Enjoy picnic spots and barbecue areas, a bar/lounge, and free self-parking. Wake up to fresh country air and slow-paced days by the pool.

Free Wi-Fi/complimentary wireless internet across the property. Multilingual staff, luggage storage and private check-in/out keep things smooth for groups and events.

An on-site restaurant serves guests and there's a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee.
