Setting the Scene
A fabulously restored neo-Gothic country house set in nearly sixty acres of private parkland, Parco del Principe delivers old-world theatre with modern ease. Frescoed ceilings, marble fireplaces, and designer-owner Astrid Schiller Wirth’s eclectic touch dress the noble floors, while outside olive trees, cedars, and gazebos frame an aquamarine pool and candle-lit terraces. The main villa (6 bedrooms) pairs with La Foresteria (2-bedroom residence) for flexible, privacy-friendly living—ideal for families and groups who want grand entertaining spaces as well as quiet corners to retreat.
Who’s Checking In?
Design-minded families and friend groups seeking a fully serviced, privacy-first base in southern Tuscany—somewhere to linger by the pool, dine under the stars, and bring in a chef when you’d rather not lift a finger. History lovers will be drawn to the frescoes and the stories in these walls; explorers will love the villa’s address on the Tuscany–Umbria border, with Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona and Lake Trasimeno all within easy reach.
