Guests of this lovely stone villa in the heart of Chianti, made even more beautiful by climbing roses and plenty of plants, feel like the only residents within miles. Part of a sparsely populated rural hamlet, this villa sleeps up to eight people and is perfect for families who want to dive into the pool and make as much noise as they want. Simple, light-filled interiors offer lovely chandeliers, fresh whitewashed walls adorned with well-framed artwork, all to make the view shine like the real star of the show.

This villa goes out of its way to allow guests to enjoy the weather with several terraces, from three small furnished nooks near the entrance to the pergola near the pool area, whose table, chairs and barbecue make it the perfect place for guests to dine al fresco while enjoying the view of the forest-covered hills. Behind the villa, a large gravel terrace is furnished with table and chairs and offers a more intimate place to enjoy a quiet glass of the local Chianti. Meanwhile, slightly away from the villa at the bottom of a grassy slope, a nice surprise awaits: this large private pool has spectacular views of the Tuscan landscape and is the perfect place to end the day.

The owners live on the ground floor at the back of the villa with their friendly dog and are on hand to help guests if needed.
