Description Olive & Olive Wood: Gaiole in Chianti

Surrounded by the rolling vistas of a famous wine estate, this Tuscan villa boasts a spacious private pool, stunning views, and space for alfresco dining. The decor is quite traditional and won't be to everyone's taste, but it's certainly not lacking in charm. Opposite the main home, you'll find a stone barn with a kitchen, dining area and second living room, ideal for family dinners. We recommend hiring a car here, with the city of Siena less than an hour's drive away – the road up to the home is unpaved and uneven though, so it won't be suitable for smaller cars.

Home truths:
*Not all bathrooms are photographed, but we expect consistent style and quality throughout this home.
*There is space to park for free outside this home for up to four cars. We recommend hiring a car here, and the road up to the home is unpaved and uneven so you'll want a high-clearance vehicle.
*Your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request if you're travelling with little ones.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*All the bedrooms are on the first floor, so climbing stairs will be required here.
*The swimming pool is available from June to the end of September.
*You'll have access to the whole property apart from some rooms on the ground floor.
