The Plum Guide – Villa Monastero

Step back in time in this 16th-century convent on the edge of Sarteano, a small medieval town. Pluck some ingredients for dinner from the onsite vegetable and herb garden, which your group can later enjoy beside the huge picture window in the dining room. Decorated in neutral hues, pops of jewel tones are introduced through the textiles, bringing a richness, offset by original antique pieces. The villa has seven bedrooms for up to 14 guests, a gym and games room, a large rectangular outdoor pool surrounded by the unfolding Tuscan countryside and a pergola with daybed and lounging furniture.

The Plum Guide – The Painted Rose

Standing in contrast to the more traditional period properties you may find in the region, The Painted Rose is a contemporary villa with a sleek midcentury interior design and a slightly beach house feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the open sea views, while retro furniture pieces make for a stylish aesthetic. A long, narrow infinity pool overlooks the Mediterranean, its edge seeming to blend seamlessly with the sea beyond and there are several terraces to gather for a meal or drinks. The Painted Rose is found in Monte Argentario, a short drive from Porto Santo Stefano. Check Availability & Prices
