Villa Drago: An Eco-Friendly Woodland Retreat for Nature Lovers
If you are looking for a stay truly immersed in nature, Villa Drago is your perfect destination. Part of the historic Tenuta Fonte del Sasso country estate—now owned by a famous local oenologist and winemaker — the property is surrounded by thousands of hectares of untouched woods and countryside. Reached via a scenic road through the forest, the villa provides a secluded haven of total peace and quiet where wild deer often visit in the quiet of the morning.
The four-bedroom home has been lovingly restored with eco-sustainable principles, featuring natural materials, solar hot water, and pellet-powered underfloor heating. Inside, music lovers will be delighted to find a piano, perfect for relaxing evenings. Outdoors, guests can unwind by the private pool or on the large shaded veranda, both offering stunning views of the pristine forest. Family-friendly amenities, including a crib and highchair, are also provided.
Good to know: The owners reside in a separate wing at the back of the property with their own independent entrance, accompanied by a few gentle cats and their friendly dog, Drago — the inspiration behind the villa’s name! To ensure a peaceful environment for the resident pets and the guests, the property is strictly pet-free for guests.
