Villa Grace is set on the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco estate in the Val de Orcia region and has commanding views of the area around Montalcino, a private golf course and vineyards just step away.

The living room is a cozy, inviting place to read or play games. Pale green walls and striped chairs in the dining room give the space an airy, unpretentious feel. The spacious, fully equipped kitchen gets plenty of light from a large window and doors, and plenty of charm from its cream and white decor. There are three bedrooms in the main house of the villa, and one-bedroom in the guest house. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and flat-screen TV.

The villa's views are perhaps best enjoyed from either the heated pool or a chaise longue on the pool deck. Bring your racquets for a game on the private tennis court, or your clubs for a round on the estate's private golf course. Prepare an only-in-Italy dinner on the villa's original 17th-century pizza oven, and enjoy your creation at the outdoor dining area.
