About the villa
Breathtaking views | Cook service included | Easy access to Siena
Blissfully bucolic, built of mellowed stone, and standing proud in expansive grounds set beside sun-drenched vineyards, this elegant villa is, as we hear in the name, a classic Chianti country house. A glorious venue for a gathering of friends and family, the villa is encircled by sloping lawns, splashed with shade from huge old pines, studded with graceful cypress spires, and focused on an infinity pool, a full 20m long. Al fresco living is further enhanced by a sunny patio with serene rural views, a rustic dining terrace with raffia seated chairs, and a built-in barbecue for long lunches. And relaxation is assured by a team of staff, including maid, cook and caretaker services. The spacious house has a characterful breakfast kitchen; lime-washed beams in a large, light dining room; a reading room in sunny colours with double doors to either side; and a first floor living room with TV, card table and huge white sofas; while its six elegantly understated and spacious suites feature free-standing baths with some canopied beds. Two further rooms are located on an upper level accessed from the reading room via the kitchen. These two twin bedrooms with low eaves are most suitable for young adults or one of the rooms can be used on its own. A further spacious suite in set in an adjacent room opening to the patio. Enhancements for this season include a new barbecue area in the gardens. This elegant, timeless house is just 4km from restaurants in Pianella village, and 10km from the sights of glorious Siena.
