The property reflects all the charm of old 15th century Tuscan buildings still visible in the stratification of the buildings and in the original architecture, which has remained intact, of the borgo. Once past the surrounding walls, you find yourself in a large internal courtyard around which open all the entrances of the residential units that make up the borgo. Sixteen spacious bedrooms, with air conditioning and private bathroom, the large living room and professional kitchen united in the imposing central body, substantial equipped outdoor areas and the swimming pool, immersed in an immense park, make the borgo the ideal place to host family reunions or to accommodate large groups of friends who wish to spend a relaxing stay in a secluded setting, albeit very close to the most beautiful and prestigious attractions of this part of Tuscany. The generosity and beauty of the outdoor areas make the location particularly suitable for events and ceremonies. The property is located less than 2 km from Monteriggioni, a 13th century fortified borgo set on a panoramic hill, dominating the slopes planted with vineyards and olive trees; just a short distance from Siena and also in an excellent position for visiting the entire Chianti region, dotted with numerous castles transformed into wineries and medieval towns where you will be conquered by splendid landscapes and ancient buildings. Within the property, on request, it is possible to taste and buy the extra virgin olive oil produced by the estate, to organise lessons in typical cuisine in the large professional kitchen, and to avail yourself of staff and a personal chef for your entire stay.
Interior:
The complex follows the typical structure that is historically defined as "courtyard house", consisting of a main body and a separate annex (located opposite) composed of several residential units, for a total of about 1200 sq m and organised around a central courtyard where all the various entrances are located. MAIN BODY. On three floors. On the ground floor, through the courtyard, you enter the main door which opens into a large living room with sofas and TV area. A short corridor leads to the dining room, connected to the professional kitchen which, through a French window, leads to the courtyard set up for outdoor dining and to a service bathroom. The ground floor is completed by three double bedrooms (two with divisible bed) with private bathroom with shower. An external staircase next to the main entrance leads up to the first floor where, crossing a terrace equipped with tables, you come to a living room with fireplace and six bedrooms: a double with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub, a twin (with joinable beds) served by a bathroom with tub and shower, and four doubles (two with divisible bed) with ensuite bathroom with shower. On the second floor, accessed from the first floor corridor via a simple spiral staircase, is a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. ANNEX.

The second flight leads to a landing with two independent bedrooms: a double with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub and another double with ensuite bathroom with shower (both bedrooms have a divisible bed). The laundry is located in an external room behind the kitchen. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms.
Park:
48 hectares of land surround the borgo, distributed amongst extensive woodland, immense arable fields, meadows and a vast olive grove where you can walk or practise sport, immersed in nature. The park pertaining to the borgo extends for about 4 hectares and includes areas paved in terracotta, with seats and small tables, and areas of lawn embellished with tall trees, olive and fruit trees and thick bushes of herbs. In the courtyard onto which all the entrances open, particularly that of the kitchen, a dining area has been set up with tables and chairs with, close by, a wood oven and barbecue. A large loggia a short distance from the courtyard and the terrace on the first floor of the main house are perfect relaxation areas, where you can sit and admire the panoramic views. Next to the structure is a large parking area.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool is located in the part of the park that borders the wood and is surrounded by tall shady trees. It can be reached from the courtyard along an internal path of about 350 m.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled among the rolling hills of Todi, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, Villa Le Logge is an exceptional vacation rental that combines the rustic charm of a traditional Italian country house with the comfort and elegance of modern living. The villa's warm, welcoming character is immediately apparent in its stone façade, accented by the rich, intense red tones that define its aesthetic identity, while the interior reveals wooden-beamed ceilings and carefully chosen antique furniture that evoke the timeless traditions of this remarkable region. The property comprises a main house and a separate annex, together spanning approximately 270 square metres, and is ideally suited to groups of friends or families with children who wish to enjoy a shared holiday while still preserving their individual privacy. Guests benefit from a generous private yard extending across approximately 1,000 square metres of partially fenced garden, set within a broader estate of around 2 hectares, where a lush, well-tended park of Mediterranean herbs, lavender, flowering plants, and olive trees creates a truly immersive natural setting. Reliable Internet WiFi connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring that guests remain connected should they wish to be, while private parking is provided along the driveway that winds through the olive grove from the automatic entrance gate to the house.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Le Logge are nothing short of spectacular, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and panoramic views over the Umbrian countryside. The estate, situated at 284 metres above sea level, extends across two gently sloping levels, with the swimming pool positioned at the highest point and the house set slightly below, creating a natural and visually striking landscape. The non-heated swimming pool, measuring 5 by 12 metres with a constant depth of 1.5 metres, is lined in PVC with a travertine edge and features chlorine purification along with both internal and external lighting. The surrounding sunbathing area is elegantly finished, with stone paving on one side and soft green lawn on the other, and is fully equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs, tables, chairs, umbrellas, and a shower. The pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Adjacent to the annex, a large portico has been thoughtfully arranged as an outdoor dining area, complete with a table, chairs, a brick-built barbecue, and a sink, making it an ideal setting for alfresco meals in the shade. A few metres from the portico, a dedicated area for children has been set up with garden games including a slide and a swing. In front of the main house entrance on the first floor, a beautiful terrace furnished with a table and chairs offers the perfect vantage point for an apéritif at dusk, as the sunset casts breathtaking colours across the Umbrian hills and the silhouette of the medieval town of Todi. The entire garden is enriched with Mediterranean herbs, lavender, trees, and colourful flowers, with a majestic palm tree dominating the pool area, all framed by tall trees and a large olive grove. An electric fence has been installed around the perimeter of the estate to keep wild boars away, ensuring a safe and peaceful environment for all guests.
