Piaggione Charme and relax Chianti holiday rental is one of those hidden jems in wine country one imagines all his life! Handed down from generations, the farmhouse has kept its simple country feel that makes you feel at ease the minute you arrive.
Surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, roses and inhabited with the owner's sculptures, the house has a very special, unique feel. The high up position on the hills of Vagliagli offers open views over the castles in Chianti classico as far as San Polo in Rosso and Mount Amiata on the other side.
The farmhouse hosts 2 independent apartments and one independent barn.
The owners are the best Siena tour guide and the most famous contemporary Siena artist. They are very passionate, creative, generous people who love comfort and beauty. They have been restoring the property for the past 5 years and are turning it into a very fine yet rustic boutique spa retreat with the charm and intimacy of a private home.
The wellness room hosts a 4 seater Jacuzzi and an infrared sauna in the panoramic loggia which is completely glassed and kept to calidarium temperatures (25-32°). A charming stone staircase leads to the fascinating Turkish steam bath downstairs, elegantly painted by the owner. The lower ground wellness area also hosts showers, bathroom and a marvellous massage room.
The large gardens and huge panoramic swimming pool ensures all guests have plenty of space to enjoy their privacy. The pool was recently newly paved and a new external hot tub was put in. It offers vertical and horizontal hydrojets as well as a waterfall. It was designed and built by Alberto himself with stone and marvellous new materials for top functionality and amazing pleasure! It is lit at night till midnight!!
The property is on a farming estate producing fabulous Chianti wine, olive oil, fruit, veggies and cured meats. You can see the animals taking a lovely walk down the track in the woods below the property. there are goats, Cinta senese pigs, phaesants, ducks as well as plenty of wildlife! The veggie garden is run on an honesty counter, so you pick, weight and leave your cash in a basket... you can do your 'shooping any time of the day and night!
The house is just 1,5 kms from the village of Vagliagli where you have shops and amenieties.

Our group of four stayed in one of the 'apartments' at Il Piaggione di Serravalle. What can I say about the beautiful owneres who welcomed four very tired travellers with bottles of wine, bread, cheese and an invitation to their daughters party the day we arrived, not to mention fresh farm eggs each morning. We had an amazing week here. Our only regret was leaving! I recommend Il Piaggione to anyone from romantic couples to large groups (you can join the accommodations). You'll definitely need a car, and good directions to the property, but it's well worth it for this undiscovered gem.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you very much!!
