Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the eastern slope of the tuff cliff that embraces Orvieto, one of Italy's most captivating art cities, Podere Torre delle Sorgenti is a truly extraordinary vacation rental born from the meticulous restoration of a historic 16th-century dovecote tower, a project entrusted to architect Martin Stubenrauch. The result is a residence of absolute originality, where centuries of history meet refined modern design in a setting of rare natural beauty. Orvieto itself, famously described as "the tall, strange city," appears from a distance as though suspended in the sky, and from the property you need only raise your eyes to take in the imposing walls of this fascinating city with nearly three thousand years of history. Inside, the interiors are distinguished by light-coloured wooden ceilings with iron beams, parquet and fine terracotta flooring, and a striking glass staircase connecting the 2 floors. The property is surrounded by a generous yard of 1.5 hectares, thoughtfully landscaped across terraces of Etruscan origin and filled with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring you remain connected during your stay.

The 1.5-hectare garden extends over several terraces of Etruscan origin, following the natural slope of the land and embellished with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs located just a few metres from the first-floor entrance. Please note that photographs of the garden were taken in spring, so the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The beautiful rectangular swimming pool, which is for the exclusive use of guests and is non-heated, occupies a terrace at a lower level than the house, approximately 25 metres away and reached via a flight of 21 steps.

It features chlorine purification, a metal ladder for water access, and is lined with grey osmotic cement to confer a natural aesthetic, with a border of grey stone in the typical "basaltina di Bagnoregio" style, while the solarium area is paved in terracotta. Both internal and external lighting are available, and the solarium is equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs, an umbrella, and a solar shower. A natural spring runs alongside the pool, and the gentle, continuous sound of flowing water adds a deeply relaxing atmosphere to the space.

L’Ovile is a typical Tuscan farmhouse whose origins date back to the beginning of the 20th century; it was bought, together with the larger estate Casanova, by the present owners in the 60’s and used as a farm, whose fundamental principle is the protection and respect of nature and the territory. The farmhouse, in a separate position and independent from the farm, and consistent with its spirit and vocation, has been recently restored with reclaimed materials such as the stone which covers the structure or else with new materials made in the old way such as the stone floor or the bricks set above the chestnut beams which cover the ceiling. The recent renovations have further characterized the farmhouse (equipped with solar panels and PV system), conferring to the outside the particular fortress style, a building technique which was used in the Middle Ages. L’Ovile, immersed in the green lung of the Sienese Montagnola, is the ideal place for those wishing to spend a holiday dedicated to eco-tourism where Nature is protagonist, for those wishing to experience the territory composed of dense woods, rich in chestnut groves. In these places, once the more well-known spots are left behind, the traveller finds unexpected and surprising roads that accompany him in his discovery of a sunny Tuscany where the countryside is vast tracts of land that stretch ad infinitum and the gentle hills invite him to be lulled amidst vineyards and olive groves. But it is also a journey into ancient history that starts from the historic centres, true salons of stone, and winds along routes rich in abbeys of Etruscan charm, of towers and ruins, testifying to old disputes and which are today immersed in absolute peace.

The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. The pool is an attractive “kidney shape” and measures 11 x 7.3 m (the minimum diameter near the ladder is 4.80 m). The depth varies from 1.10 m to 1.80 m. It is lined in PVC with salt purification. Entrance to the water is by Roman steps with hydromassage vents. The pool border is paved with antiqued tiles which combine harmoniously with the outside of the house as well as with the surrounding countryside. There is external lighting and also lighting inside the pool. The solarium area around the pool is provided with sun umbrellas, sunbeds, small tables and an outdoor hot water shower. The pool, sited on a lower level in respect to the house, looks south out over the suggestive panorama of the wooded countryside of the Sienese Montagnola which gently slopes down towards the Piana di Rosia, which changes continuously according to the shadows and reflections of the sun. In the background the inactive volcano of Monte Amiata, 1.738 m above sea level, the most important ski resort of southern Tuscany, rises majestically above the surrounding valleys of the Val d’Orcia and of the Maremma.

Poggio delle Lumie rests at 709 meters above sea level, in a territory where the slopes of Mount Amiata blend into the wild Maremma: on one side descending toward the Tuscan coast, on the other merging with the rolling hills of the Val d’Orcia. This is a recently renovated stone farmhouse, featuring wooden beams, terracotta floors, cozy interiors, air-conditioned bedrooms and living area, and a well-equipped open-plan kitchen that opens onto the porch, arranged as an outdoor dining area with a built-in barbecue. The surrounding terraced park is home to a swimming pool overlooking the nearby hills. Poggio delle Lumie is located on the edge of the village of Arcidosso, just 3 km from shops, restaurants, and services. From the property, you can explore a wealth of attractions in the immediate surroundings, from delightful medieval towns like Abbadia San Salvatore, Santa Fiora, Montalcino, Sovana, and Pienza, to numerous thermal sites (Saturnia, Bagni San Filippo, Bagno Vignoni), all the way to the Tyrrhenian coast with its parks and nature reserves - true gems of this stunning corner of Tuscany.
