Chianti Soul Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany

Property Description

This restored two-storey stone-built home has a hillside location, so it has wonderful vistas (just don’t bring your sports car as the access road is very steep). You can enjoy the glorious views from the two terraces, the pool, and even the bedrooms. There’s an open fireplace here too for cosy evenings, two lounges and an atmospheric dining room for Italian feasts. Go wine and olive oil tasting locally, and stock up on goodies, or simply go for walks among the olive groves and foothills. The town of Gaiole is 1 kilometre away, while charming Radda is 12 kilometres from this lovely home.
