Villa Art Hangar

The Art Hangar is simply one of the coolest places we’ve ever stayed. We understand that the building was formerly an auto repair shop and then a clay pigeon factory. The renovation, done by the owners Is stunning. The main living space is large and has huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The furnishings are very stylish and really comfortable. The kitchen is large, beautiful, fully stocked, and completely functional. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is so much more beautiful in person. We arrived at night, after a long flight delay. Johny and Rita (and Minnie, their delightfully friendly dog) were waiting for us - they live next door. They had a fire going in the beautiful fireplace. They had stocked the fridge and pantry with essentials from a list we’d sent them. They had a gourmet pasta and sauce waiting in case we were hungry. A quick orientation and they left us to grab a snack and to sleep off the jet lag. We were not prepared for what we saw the next morning in daylight. The property is stunning. Looking out one set of windows, on a hilltop, are the ruins of castle. Out the other set of windows, a Tuscan hillside. The property is dotted with eclectic art installations. A few hundred feet away - an incredible and huge pool visible on sattelite images of the place. We did not use it (it was December) but owner Rita swears she swims there every day! There are two bedrooms that are very comfortable. The place could easily and comfortably house two couples, but we were delighted to have the place to ourselves. Johny and Rita are always available to help in anyway, but are otherwise unobtrusive. You’ll have all the privacy you want. The property is on the edge of Montisi, a charming, tiny village with one of the best restaurants we’ve been to (Il Barrino). From here, incredible scenic drives and all of the key Tuscan sights are an easy drive. On the final night, Rita prepared for us a gourmet dinner right here on the property, accompanied by wine from their personal cellar. Rita owned a restaurant for 30 years and the meal was a beautiful way to finish our Art Hangar experience. One of the best dinners we had in Tuscany, accompanied by the company of our gracious hosts Honestly, we can not recommend this spot highly enough. If you want to stay in Tuscany, make this your home away from home! Grazie, Johny and Rita!

We were more than happy to spend one week in the stunning location ARTHANGAR. Johny & Rita were super friendly and helpful at any time. The Hangar is comfortable, stylish and cozy at the same time. The garden and the pool is a piece of art. Everything was clean and in very good conditions. we would love to come back as soon as possible
