Location

The red villa sits picturesquely on a hill in Pienza and overlooks the 35-hectare Fabbrica Pienza winery, which also belongs to the owning family. The medieval town of Montepulciano is just a stone's throw away. Pienza or Lake Trasimeno are also inviting for excursions. Cyclists love the region, especially in autumn, when temperatures are pleasant for tours.

Rooms & suites

The eleven rooms and suites all bear the names of Gervasio's children and are truly unique. Much of the furniture comes from vintage markets, which the owners have lovingly gathered. In addition to the wallpaper and curtains, some of the furniture is self-designed and custom-made, so no two rooms are alike. Artwork and paintings can be found all over the walls, adding cozy charm to the house. In the rooms high-quality beauty products provide that little extra. You won't find a TV in the rooms, but in the living room of the house, a comfortable sofa landscape with a TV is awaiting you for movie nights. Or you can sit down at the original vintage game table and borrow one of the available games.

Food & Drinks

In keeping with the farm to table concept, Casa Newton serves regional and fresh food - from its own garden or from the immediate surroundings. In the morning, you can choose between yogurt made from buffalo or cow's milk, fruits, homemade granola, or have Eggs Benedict freshly prepared at the small buffet - by the way, chef Sara Scaramella bakes the bread herself. Delicious cookies or cupcakes provide a sweet start to the day. The evening menu varies seasonally. The wine accompaniment comes from the in-house winery, on request you walk down the hill to the tasting. From aperitifs with PetNat Popnat to red Sangiovese - the wines are certified organic and taste excellent. The house bar is also a highlight - and not just by design. The Casa Newton Spritz with the in-house PetNat is just perfect to end the day.

Special features

Since the house is a listed building, nothing was changed in the facade and the walls of the house. Even the red color of the facade was kept. Instead, the interior of the house convinces with its 70s flair. On hot days the pool with pink sunshades tempts you to cool down. From the edge of the pool there's a fantastic panorama over the vines and olive trees of the area. At every corner you'll find small special features. A highlight is also the old chapel of the house - it was repainted by an artist inside.
