Follonico

An 18th-century farmhouse above Montefollonico in the hills between Montepulciano and Pienza, run by hosts Suzanne and Fabio as four suites plus two rooms in a neighbouring building. Days revolve around the saltwater infinity pool looking over the vineyards, an organic breakfast from the farm, and dinner a few evenings a week.

Part of the Outbound Stays collection, Follonico is one of the places we think is genuinely worth the journey in Italy — chosen for its character, its design and the experience of staying there.
