Villa Roccia d’Amore Prices from 3.500 Euro per week
Tucked into the serene hills just outside Sarteano, in the heart of southern Tuscany, Villa Roccia d’Amore is a charming retreat steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty. The villa takes its name—“Rock of Love”—from the nearby ancient caves once used as secret shelters for young lovers. With sweeping views over the Val d’Orcia and Valdichiana, and just minutes from major cultural and historic centers, the property blends rustic elegance with the comforts of modern living, making it the ideal location for a peaceful family getaway or an inspiring Tuscan escape.

Positioned on a rocky rise at 580 meters above sea level, Villa Roccia d’Amore offers a truly panoramic setting with unmatched views that stretch from the forests of Monte Cetona to the shimmering waters of Lake Trasimeno. The property is just 800 meters from the village of Sarteano, where shops, restaurants, and services can be found. It also sits within easy reach of cultural gems such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, and Cortona, and is conveniently located just 7 km from the A1 motorway and 12 km from Chiusi train station, with fast rail links to Florence and Rome.
