Chianti Kisses

Nestled among the lush greenery of an expansive 1,000-acre private estate, this beautifully restored stone villa is ideally located to allow you to enjoy the ultimate holiday with your family or a group of close friends. Picture yourself serenely floating in the infinity pool while taking in the view of the rolling Tuscan hills below. Imagine sipping a medium-bodied Chianti and tucking into fresh pasta on the sun-drenched terrace while waiting for the Instagram-worthy sunset. There are a couple of barbecues, so you can always indulge in plenty of Florentine steaks if you get weary of pizza and pasta (is that even possible?). When you've had your fill of sumptuous Italian fare, play your favourite tunes on the Bose sound system and chill out with some board games by the fireplace. If you feel like you might have over-indulged, fear not. You can keep up your workout regime by sweating it out in the fitness room or hiking through the surrounding countryside. The medieval village of San Gusmè is a mere five-minute drive away, while Siena is a 30-minute trip from your villa, in case you want to do some shopping or sightseeing. Your host provides a complimentary concierge service, too, so that all your holiday whims will be taken care of. Before long, you'll feel like a local.
