Enjoying a secluded spot in the Chianti countryside, this traditional stone villa is packed with things to keep you entertained. The gardens are a delight, where olive groves provide a spot for a shady stroll, and vineyards tumble down the hillside around you. Set up for a lazy lunch beneath the pergola – there’s dining for the whole group here. Shared between a handful of stone villas on the same estate, there’s a swimming pool at the bottom of the garden. Inside, whitewashed wooden ceilings speak of days gone by and there’s a traditional Tuscan farmhouse vibe throughout. Terracotta floors keep things cool underfoot and bedrooms and bathrooms are all super spacious. The kitchen in jolly aquamarine-blue is more than big enough to handle the hustle and bustle of a busy breakfast time too. Exploring the area, you’ll find the charming village of Lecchi to be a six-minute drive away where the ruins of an ancient castle await. Plus you’re in the Chianti wine region where the hills are dotted with family-run vineyards and wineries galore.
