Perched on a hilltop amid the 5,000-acre Castiglion del Bosco estate, Villa Alba is a rustic farmhouse with an eclectic heritage. Built from centuries-old Tuscan stone, this casa’s ancient foundations have been brought up to date by founders Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo, inheritors of the luxury Italian shoe dynasty. Rough stone walls, beamed ceilings and tiled floors are in keeping with the villa’s traditional, Tuscan charm; a slick kitchen and a heated infinity pool add a modern touch. Kick back on the pergola-shaded terrace with an ice-cold bellini and admire the panoramic views of Unesco-listed Val d’Orcia from the verdant, lavender-scented gardens.

  • The villa is in the middle of the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco estate, just one kilometre from the hotel-owned village of Borgo.
