Our favourite rooms
Each rustic yet raffish room at Casa Newton is named after the former owners’ children, so picking a favourite feels like we’re committing a parental faux pas… So, we’ll be diplomatic: we’re fans of Gervasio for its stone-archway-framed bedroom; Sofia has soul-stirring views of the chapel and olive groves; Elisabetta’s countryside-facing bath tub calls for scenic soaks, and standalone suites Aroldo and Anna have private gardens with greenery-blessed terraces.
Poolside
Seventies-style design comes into play at the Tuscan-tiled pool, where scalloped blush-pink parasols dot the poolside patio like piped meringues. It’s shrouded by pines and leafy bushes, and from your raffia sunlounger you can survey the undulating scenery of the verdant Val d’Orcia. And on days that the sun is shy, you’ll find that the water is warm, and a shallow end ensures little Smiths can take a dip too.
Packing tips
If you’re artistically inclined, a small sketchbook and some watercolours wouldn’t go amiss to capture the hills basking in the glow of golden hour (a trusty camera works wonders, too). The suites are screen-free so opt for analogue fun come evening.
Also
Staff can arrange soothing massages with an external therapist; you can choose your soigné suite or a garden-swathed pergola as your treatment room.
Pet‐friendly
A pampered pooch (under 20kg) can stay in your Garden Suites (for an additional cost). See more pet-friendly hotels in Tuscany.
Children
Little Smiths are welcome, and babysitting can be booked on request. Baby cots for under-twos can be added to all rooms for €40 a night.
Sustainability efforts
This boutique has a farm-to-table restaurant, which sources its ingredients from the kitchen garden and local suppliers. Single-use plastics are eschewed in the restaurant and rooms; you’ll also find refillable, organic bath products in your bathroom.
