Sipping Chianti

This is an excellent base from which to explore Tuscany and Chianti. The stone villa is a classic example of Tuscan style, which has been renovated into a comfortable home – it has everything you might need and is still full of authentic charm.

You’ll wake up under an authentic wood-beamed ceiling in one of the elegant bedrooms. Making your way downstairs, past antique paintings and a grandfather clock, you’ll enter the dining and living space. As in any Italian home, this is the heart – you’ll likely spend hours sitting around the dining table.

Outside, the covered veranda is the perfect place to sip coffee – or vino in the afternoon. The pool is a short stroll away, surrounded by lush lawns and trees. It’s a dreamy place to be whether you’re swimming laps, soaking up the sun by the water, or reading a book in the Jacuzzi.

The villa is a twenty-nine-minute drive from Siena, which is a great city for day trips. Discover the history of the Palio, enjoy a spot of shopping, and treat yourselves to a decadent lunch in a piazza.
