Chianti Stone

You'll find this stone villa in the Chianti countryside. Radda and Castellina are both 5 kilometres away, so you'll be well-positioned to explore the area's vineyards and villages. Florence is also driveable in an hour if you have day trips in mind. That said, with a private pool and sun-kissed garden to enjoy back home, we don't blame you if you'd rather stay put. The villa itself is well-equipped, though the traditional style may not suit everyone. Two downstairs bedrooms open straight onto the garden, while the two upstairs have air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. Rustic charm abounds indoors and out – think wooden beams, stone walls, and a covered terrace ideal for dining on Italian classics.
