Mazzo

With its light, bright interior and stunning wraparound roof terrace, Mazzo is a triumph of modern design and traditional architectural lines, brought together through fabulous styling.

Mazzo, fully redecorated in 2024, is a beautiful stone villa with exquisite views over the iconic hills and villages that dot the landscape where Umbria and Tuscany meet.

Both the exterior and the interior of this inviting property offer an appealing mix of old and new. The traditional cotto floors and beamed ceilings are mixed with vibrant design classics such as the yellow Gispen chairs in the living area and the Eames-style dining chairs. Antiques, industrial lighting and zings of colour add oodles of style, while the kitchen is expertly equipped with a large Smeg oven and fridge.

The villa sleeps six in three bedrooms and is ideal for a family or group of friends. It has its own big, private garden and a large, wraparound roof terrace with a dining area, plenty of space to relax and dreamy scenery to match.

The stunning pool (12m x 7m) is shared with Pozza, the neighbouring villa, but rest assured, both villas offer their own space and privacy.

Please note that Mazzo and Pozza can be booked together to create an impressive private property for 12 guests, with six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The villas are connected by external stairs only and share the (12m x 7m) heated pool. The outdoor dining table at Pozza is big enough to accommodate all 12 guests. For further details, please look at the listing for Gazza under Rentals.
