Casina di Arceno is our holiday home in Tuscany. It is located in one of Tuscany most charming historical wine estates known as Tenuta di Arceno, in the Chianti Classico area. This is our piece of paradise since 2014.
The property sits on a hill with olive groves and vineyards streching out in all directions. It is located in the open countryside, with stunning views on the Chianti hills all around, and surrounded by picturesque villages.
This farmhouse is part of a group of other 5 homes and is unique in that it has three different terraces overlooking South East, North West and East for enjoying leisurly time outdoors at the different times of day. The beautiful large pool is just across the front terrace only 25 yards from the home.
In order to reach Casina di Arceno one drives along an impressive historical cypresses alley 1 kilometer long planted more than 2 centuries ago! Staying at Casina di Arceno gives the idea of being away from civilization yet comfortably close to Castelnuovo Berardenga (4 km), and San Gusmè (2 km) with all the services you may need and only a 20 minutes car drive from Siena.
We go often to the house ourselve, with our family, and we furnished and equipped the house so that it would be confortable and beautiful.
This country home is set on 2 levels. There are three covered private parking spaces and a very large private garden. The main entrance lands in a very ample kitchen very well equipped, with a large wooden square table that sits 8 people.
Besides the kitchen, the ground floor includes:
- a big master bedroom, with bathroom en-suite.
- a dining room with access to the East looking terrace, which can be reached also from the master bedroom.
- a large and luminous living room, with 4 door-windows that connects with the large and most wonderful South-East looking terrace, with open views on the Tuscan hills up to Siena. The living room hosts a large double sofa-bed (1m60) that sleeps 2.
The first floor includes:
- a double bedroom with a large king size bed or two twin beds and bathroom en-suite
