Casa Newton
Rural rosso residence — 1970s-inspired interiors, bold pattern wallpaper, original contemporary Italian art, and a retro-chic pool with bubblegum-pink parasols. Relaxed but decidedly not casual.

Why It Matters
An architect-owned former family home where every room is named after a historical Newton family child, doubling as a showcase for the owners' contemporary art collection, and sitting on top of a working biodynamic winery. No two rooms are the same, and the farming and wine connection goes well beyond marketing.
Casa Newton is a crimson-walled, 1846 country house on the Fabbrica Pienza wine estate, sitting at the highest point of the property with sweeping UNESCO Val d'Orcia views between Montalcino and Montepulciano. It's technically an agriturismo, but forget the rustic-budget connotations — Swiss architect and co-owner Antonie Bertherat-Kioes has woven mid-century furniture, purpose-woven fabric walls, and Venetian coverings through all 11 rooms, and the result feels more like staying in a well-curated private home than a hotel. The same family owns the Fabbrica Pienza winery next door, which means the wine at dinner is genuinely estate-grown.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Alfredo
Ground-floor room with direct access to the gardens and a small semi-private terrace on the north side of the house. Good for those who want easy outdoor access. Named after one of the Newton children.
Anna
The second standalone private garden suite, set in the wild gardens of Casa Newton. Overlooks Fabbrica Pienza and the Val d'Orcia. Quieter and more sheltered than Aroldo. Also pet-friendly.
Aroldo
A standalone private garden suite set in former farm buildings away from the main villa. Sweeping panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia, Fabbrica Pienza, and Monte Amiata. Has two walk-in wardrobes, a sitting room, and a full bathroom with both bath and shower. Pet-friendly (under 20kg).
Carolina
Large top-floor suite facing the back gardens, mirroring Caterina's layout with a cosy living area connected to the sleeping area. Higher elevation means better views.
Caterina
Large first-floor suite with a cosy living area attached to the sleeping area, overlooking the back gardens. Good size room with a relaxed, lounge-like feel.
Elisabetta
Top-floor suite with panoramic views of Monte Amiata and the vineyard, featuring a large living room with a charming reading nook and a countryside-facing bathtub. One of the most character-rich rooms in the house.
Gervasio
Ground-floor room accessible through its own private entrance — effectively its own wing. Has access to a semi-private garden. Named after the original builder of the house.
Giovanbattista
Top-floor room with panoramic vineyard and garden views stretching as far as Monte Amiata. Lift access, walk-in wardrobe, and shower. One of the higher-positioned rooms in the main villa.
Monica
Top-floor room accessible by lift with views over the English gardens, a walk-in wardrobe, and a reduced-mobility shower. Can connect to an adjoining room, making it a good option for families.
Rosmunda
First-floor room accessible by lift, with views over the English garden. Has a walk-in wardrobe and a reduced-mobility shower room. One of two wheelchair-accessible rooms in the property.
Sofia
First-floor suite filled with natural light, accessible via the exterior double staircase on the front of the property. Faces the rosemary garden, the property chapel, and the olive groves — genuinely one of the best views in the house.
