5 great days in Italian countryside
Danish-American extended family of 7 had 5 great days at the Villa, we might have needed a minute to adjust to the rustic charm but after that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. After warm and exhausting days traveling to Siena and Florence, everybody loved playing in the spacious pool, especially if farm dog Leo came to play! House is 5 mins from Castellina, which was a favorite town on the trip, it has everything from great restaurants, fun shopping and world class gelato. It is also just 30 mins from Siena, which (while touristy) was a nice visit. Prepare for rustic charm and don't arrive in darkness, the 3-min dirt road to the Villa is best driven during daylight!

Wonderful stay in a wonderful place
I stayed 2 weeks with family and friends and we all fell in love with the place ! Such a large exquisite old house, a lot of inside and outside spaces for each to enjoy some privacy. Loved the quietness, the environment so beautiful and green, the pools so enjoyable. The neighboring village is in my opinion one of the nicest place in Chianti, with plenty shops and good restaurants. Access road is bumpy yes, but really manageable. Last but not least, the owner is a delightful person, helpful, attentive but discreet, wonderful ! We are definitely thinking about returning !

Authentic Tuscan Rental Property
We recently stayed in Florence and then on a whim decided to search for a property with a little more seclusion. We found this villa close to Castellina in Chianti. The house was a little on the large size for our needs and could easily handle 2 families. The house has a great feel and is authentic to this area. It is not over developed inside but has retained it's character and was an excellent base for our exploration of the region. The realtor was efficient and the owner who lives close by extremely pleasant.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE AND PLACE
My family and I spent a week at the house , the house is even better than in the pictures and place is very charming. We had a great vacation in Tuscany and the house was in perfect location to explore around. the owner was there to help if we needed him, and he gave us some good tips. Okay we are used to the city life so I kind of miss all the services , the shops are not 24/7 but that is what you want to find in the Tuscany , right? authentic life.

Why they chose this property

Our home is set just outside the center of charming village of Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany’s renowned wine region. This location offers the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience—far enough from the bustle to enjoy peaceful countryside views, yet close enough to explore the rich culture, history, and flavors of the area.

What I love most about this location is the breathtaking landscape—rolling vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads that seem straight out of a postcard. The fresh country air, the sound of birds in the morning, and the golden hues of sunset make it a truly magical setting.

The village of Castellina in Chianti, just a short drive away, is full of authentic charm with its medieval streets, local wineries, artisan shops, and family-run restaurants serving traditional Tuscan cuisine. Whether you’re here to explore historic castles, visit world-class vineyards, hike scenic trails, or simply relax by the pool, this area offers something for everyone.

What makes this property unique

Our home is more than just a place to stay—it’s an authentic Tuscan retreat surrounded by nature, history, and timeless beauty. What truly sets it apart is the unparalleled scenery that changes with the light of the day, offering breathtaking views at both sunrise and sunset.

In the early morning, as the sun rises over the rolling Chianti hills, the mist gently lifts from the vineyards and meadows, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Guests who wake early can enjoy the quiet serenity of the countryside, with nothing but the soft chirping of birds and the occasional rustling of leaves in the breeze. Sipping a morning coffee on the patio while watching the world slowly awaken is a moment of pure tranquility.

As the day unfolds, the Tuscan sun bathes the landscape in warm golden hues, making it perfect for outdoor activities—whether it’s a morning swim, a countryside walk, or an afternoon exploring nearby villages. In spring and summer, the area is full of life, with blooming wildflowers, fragrant herbs, and the vibrant green of vineyards and olive groves. Guests can experience the best of the season by tasting fresh local produce from nearby markets and wineries.

At sunset, the landscape transforms once again. The sky glows in shades of pink, orange, and deep red, reflecting off the hills in a way that feels almost surreal. This is the perfect time to unwind with a glass of Chianti wine in the private garden or on the terrace, soaking in the peaceful countryside as the last rays of sunlight fade behind the horizon. The evenings are calm, with a soft breeze and the distant hum of cicadas, creating a truly magical ambiance.

Whether you’re here for relaxation, exploration, or simply to experience authentic Tuscan living, our home offers a setting that is both timeless and unforgettable—a place where every moment feels special.
