Porta Berarda - Five Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 10

Porta Berarda is a quintessential Tuscan retreat, crafted from local stone and perched on a peaceful hillside with sweeping countryside views. Sleeping ten guests across five elegant en-suite bedrooms, it’s an ideal escape for extended families or groups of friends.
Inside, the farmhouse blends modern comfort with beautifully restored traditional features, including terracotta tiles, exposed beams, and stone fireplaces. Light-filled rooms are furnished with quality pieces in a soft, neutral palette. Two inviting living areas offer space to unwind together—one an open-plan lounge and dining room, the other a spacious kitchen-living area where you can cook while chatting with friends
Each bedroom is a serene haven with a double bed, chic bathroom, and, in some rooms, Juliet balconies or cosy seating areas.
Outdoors, the landscaped garden is perfect for relaxed Tuscan living, with dining areas, generous sofas, and panoramic rural views. The private pool will delight guests of all ages, offering a refreshing spot to cool off on sunny afternoons.
Despite its tranquil setting, Porta Berarda is well located for exploring. Nature lovers can enjoy nearby hiking routes, picnics among rolling hills, or activities such as tennis, horseback riding, and water sports. Golfers will appreciate Golf Club Valdichiana, 23km away.
