A trellis covered pergola offers the quintessentially Italian dining space, framed with vibrant potted plants and fragrant blossom - an ideal space for morning coffee or an evening glass of local wine along with sublime sunset views over the hills under the grape vines. The pool area is surrounded by dappled trees and stone terrace, dotted with loungers and elegant seating under the shade of the pergola.

Just one and a half kilometres from Facci Fallo is the medieval village of Castiglioncello del Trinoro, overlooking the historic Val d'Orcia in the province of Siena. The Val d'Orcia is a picturesque valley of rolling hills with vineyards, Renaissance villages and Medieval churches. Known for its Etruscan and Medieval villages, churches and monuments, traditional way of live and local cheeses and pastas, this region offers a taste of authentic Tuscany. The Pietraporciana Nature reserve is a green oasis between Sarteano and Chianciano with striking beech trees and wildlife. Along the paths of the reserve visitors can admire several natural caves and panoramic views. Cetona is a classic Medieval hilltop town with a 12th century church of San Michele Arcangelo, and makes a delightful spot to stop for lunch. The ancient city of Chiusi is on the border with Umbria, where visitors can enjoy Chiusi's lake, Etruscan tombs and Christian catacombs. Its local dish is made up with pici, handmade pasta, and Chianti wines from the neighbouring region are popular. Pienza sits on a hilltop overlooking the Val D'Orcia and offers views of other hilltop towns. Pienza features in Zeffirelli's acclaimed 1968 film version of ‘Romeo and Juliet.' Winding country roads flanked by vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields surround this exquisite town. Ways of life in the region, such as wine and cheese making, have remained largely unchanged for centuries, whilst heading down to the Chianti hills will make for a fine afternoon's wine tasting. The graceful, Renaissance hilltop town of Montepuliciano is also a wonderful place, again, known for its wine, the famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Arezzo, Tuscany's vibrant capital is bustling with Renaissance churches and art history, as well as vibrant markets and open piazzas, while Florence and Rome are just a day trip away.
