Surrounded by flourishing trees with sweeping views across the hills of Chianti, every detail of this home sings with the natural beauty of Tuscany. From the rustic interiors to the antique furnishings and personal touches, the owners have retained the authentic spirit of this traditional country home. And while its foundations date back to 1900, it now exists as a contemporary sanctuary – a private space to lose yourself in the timeless magic of Italian living. Stroll through the verdant garden, spend lazy mornings sipping coffee in the shade, take cooling dips in the pool and savour delicious Italian meals – served straight from the barbecue. By night, the soft glow of sunset transforms the terrace into the perfect setting for intimate candlelit meals and stargazing, while the sauna (available on request) provides an idyllic spot to relax before slipping into bed. Beyond this rural haven, it’s just a short scenic drive to the medieval borgo of Casole d’Elsa, while San Gimignano and Volterra are also within easy driving distance.
