Villa Ombrone is a beautifully restored former stable set within the historic Villa Ambretta estate in the heart of southern Tuscany’s Maremma region. Nestled within a working agricultural property, the villa sits beside the owners’ residence while ensuring complete privacy for both homes.
Renovated in 2021, the 160sqm residence unfolds across two levels and comfortably accommodates up to six guests. Expansive terraces and a private garden open directly onto sweeping views of the Ombrone Valley, creating a seamless connection between the house and its surrounding landscape. Rather than dominating its setting, Villa Ombrone feels deeply rooted in the land — an understated retreat shaped by the rhythms and character of the Tuscan countryside.
The estate runs on solar energy. Underfloor heating and cooling systems keep the interior comfortable regardless of season. As a result, guests can book in spring, autumn, or winter with the same confidence as summer. A child-safe pool, year-round climate control, and a fireplace for cooler evenings make Villa Ombrone a genuinely versatile property, not just a summer retreat.
An Honest Kind of Comfort
This is the kind of luxury villa Tuscany’s Maremma does particularly well: substance over surface. The attention to detail extends well beyond the photographs: mosquito screens on every window, a personal safe in each bedroom, electric vehicle charging points in the parking area, and a welcome basket waiting on arrival. The basket contains charcuterie, pasta, cheese, fresh fruit, bread, local olive oil, jam, coffee, tea, and wine. It covers the first evening and morning without needing to locate a supermarket. It is the kind of preparation that reflects how the property is managed day to day.
Space Across Two Levels
The villa unfolds across two levels. The living room is located on the floor with a wood-burning fireplace, comfortable seating, and direct terrace access. The fully equipped kitchen on the main floor features four-burner induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, coffee machines, and kettle. An indoor dining table seats eight. A dedicated workspace with a large external monitor and high-speed internet connection serves guests who need reliable connectivity throughout their stay.
Three bedrooms each connect to a private en-suite bathroom with shower, washbasin, and WC. The beds are configured as doubles but convert to twins on request. A baby cot and high chair are available for families. Moreover, the layout across two levels provides natural separation between sleeping and living areas, which suits larger groups and families well.
Fitness and Wellness
The fitness room sets Villa Ombrone apart from most other properties in the region. It includes a pulley station, weight bench, dumbbells, stationary bicycle, and yoga mats. The private sauna, with its own shower and WC, is in the same wing. For guests who treat physical routine as a non-negotiable part of travel, this is a genuine plus.
The Location and Its Context
Villa Ombrone sits approximately 20 minutes from Grosseto, the main city of the Maremma. The surrounding area has lots of interesting attractions: thermal springs at Saturnia, Etruscan heritage sites in Pitigliano and Sorano, the protected landscape of the Maremma Regional Park, and a stretch of Tyrrhenian coastline that remains relatively uncrowded. In addition, the estate produces its own olive oil, which guests can purchase directly.
Pisa, Florence, and Rome airports are all within roughly 2 hours by car. The Grosseto train station, served by the coastal rail line, offers an alternative arrival route for those traveling without a vehicle.
For those searching for a luxury villa, Tuscany’s Maremma delivers both rural remoteness and modern infrastructure, in one of the region’s least-visited and most rewarding corners.
