Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casa del Vento are nothing short of extraordinary, inviting you to immerse yourself in a landscape of olive groves, natural grass, and sweeping sea views. The surrounding park covers a total of six hectares, with one hectare immediately around the house cultivated as a formal garden. Natural grass and ancient olive trees form the heart of this green expanse, while patches of flowers, decorative stones, and climbing creepers add character and charm to the winding paths that lead through the grounds.

Scattered throughout the garden, you will find dedicated seating and relaxation areas designed to make the most of the surrounding scenery. The pergola adjacent to the dining area is fully equipped for outdoor meals and features a convenient barbecue, making al fresco dining a natural and pleasurable part of daily life at the villa.

Nestled in the serene Val di Chiana between Siena and Arezzo, Albachiara is an exceptional vacation rental that places you just minutes from the enchanting hilltop town of Cortona, one of the oldest Etruscan settlements in Tuscany, rising 600 metres above sea level in the heart of Italy. This beautifully restored stone farmhouse, originally a farm shed belonging to the adjacent Leopoldine villa, has been completely renovated with meticulous attention to conservation and the careful salvage of all original materials.

Close by, directly in front of the dining room French window, a wood oven and mobile barbecue invite al fresco cooking and leisurely outdoor dining. At the centre of the garden, framed by 2 majestic weeping willows edged with white roses, a large wooden portico structure draped in porcelain vine and furnished with a table and benches provides the ideal shaded outdoor living area. A wooden structure beneath the portico, accessible from the outside, houses the laundry room.
