About this property

Beautiful Tuscan farmhouse with stunning views of Chianti countryside

The house forms part of the oldest wing of Le Bagnaie, a 300 year old farm on a secluded hilltop, which was converted into 8 privately owned houses in 1990. All are beautifully restored in traditional rustic style with exposed beams, old terracotta floors and open fires, together with the modern convenience of superb marble bathrooms and central heating. Each house has its own paved terrace, garden and the shared facility of beautiful grounds, including a magnificent swimming pool, a children's pool, an all-weather tennis court and boules court. There are outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.

Our stay at Le Bagnaie
The property, house, location, and grounds exceeded expectations. The pool, the vegetable garden, and the walks from the house were all wonderful and dinner cooked by Serena was sublime! We hope to return.

Even better than the pictures!
The Villa was better than the photographs on the website! It had the perfect mix of privacy with the added bonus of being social if you wished with the shared pool. Our children made friends immediately and had a fantastic time using the facilities of the Villa. My son had his 9th birthday at the Villa and we made a special trip to Castillina in Chianti for an amazing cake (they do awesome Gelato too), and then to dinner at one of the great restaurants in the village. A perfect place to see the local surrounding areas and fall in love with Tuscany. It was always lovely to come back to the Villa and sit and look at the amazing views over a drink or dinner. The villa had everything that you needed and felt very homely with lovely family touches that have obviously been built up over time. We don't often say we will go back to the same place but this was a brilliant find. I understand that it is often booked, so we felt very fortunate to have secured a stay.

This was a heavenly vacation for our family. Absolutely beautiful setting. Close to many great towns
Owners are gracious and accommodating. You get the true Tuscan experience, relaxing yet close to everything. By far the best part of our Italy trip

Beautiful property in a fairy tale location
The house is wonderful and in perfect shape. Around are only hills and vineyards: a breathtaking landscape. We enjoyed the garden and the big swimming pool very much. We could pick our own vegetables (which were super fresh and delicious) from the garden and we were even invited to a winetasting by Ian, one of our lovely neighbours, who owns a small vinyard. Finally, the house is perfectly located, close to Florence and all the main places of interests, such as Siena and San Gimignano. A fantastic vacation! P.S.: if you go, make sure to book Serena to cook you dinner for a night. One of the best Italian meals I have ever eaten. And I am Italian!

Beautiful spot with fantastic amenities
The property is in an idyllic location. It has a lovely garden to relax in and the swimming pool and tennis court are a real plus. It is well positioned for restaurants and sight seeing (a short drive away) but in a peaceful and rural location with amazing views. The house is well maintained and has everything you might need. A very relaxing place to stay.

A little piece of heaven on earth
We had a wonderful holiday in Tuscany. Mainly sightseeing but also some shopping and wine tasting. Best was being able to relax in the confines of Le Bagnaie, this small hilltop complex of 8 villas is a couple of Kms off the main road in more or less perfect isolation. Pool was fantastic - a great size and only a handful of fellow residents in sight. Also, good tennis court and boules. We made use of a local contact for a full blown Tuscan dining evening and would thoroughly recommend that to anyone. The villa/farmhouse was clean, tidy and friendly with all the essentials. Some may see it as a problem that there is no TV - not in our case. My personal lizard count was above 30 and the wandering cat just added a lovely slice of something to the experience. Its Tuscany in July so you have to expect mosquitos and other bitey things so be prepared for that. My only criticism, and its a personal thing I guess, is that the beds were quite hard.

Perfect place for stay in Chianti
The house and the amenities were even better than we would have expected. The view is breathtaking and the house is well equipped. There are many good wineries in the area where you can tast ( and of course buy) excellent Chianti wine. It is a good starting point for sightseeing tours to Siena, San Gimigniano and Florence. The pool is also very nice and the perfect place to relax. Although you have to use a gravel road to reach the house, the next supermarket is only 10 minutes away. One tip: it is possible to hire a local cook. She prepares a fantastic original Tuscany meal. We can highly recommend this house !

Great holiday
We really enjoyed our holiday. The property is comfortable and well equipped. The view from the swimming pool is tremendous and it's nice to have other people around from the other 7 houses so you don't feel too isolated. There is a lot to see in this area and we particularly enjoyed visits to Siena, Castelina and Volterra to name just a few. A good car is essential and slit of the 'white' roads are rough. This holiday suited all of us, including our 3 teenage children and elderly mum. We made friends with the one eyed cat and enjoyed the local produce rather too much!

Lovely house, perfectly picturesque
The house is an amazing place to stay and a great base camp for exploring the surrounding areas in Tuscany. The pool and gardens are perfect for a lazy afternoon with beautiful views. The rooms are all very homely, the kitchen is ideal for requirement, and with a Coop not too far away, great for a cooking evening in with some good wine! All in all, a great place to stay with or without family!

A holiday in glorious Tuscan countryside!
The property is situated on a hilltop close to Castellini in Chianti with splendid views to both front and rear. It is part of an exclusive complex of luxury houses that once comprised a farmstead but which was converted to its present state some 25 years ago. The surrounding gardens are beautifully maintained and there is an adjoining large swimming pool for use by all residents. The property is well very appointed and extremely comfortable with air conditioning . WiFi is on site so we were able to stay in touch with the world !! There is an excellent selection of restaurants close by and well known Tuscan towns like Sienna are within an easy drive. We had a wonderful time at the house and would have no hesitation in recommending it for a holiday stay!

Stunning property in equally stunning surroundings
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Del Fico, the place has been renovated to a beautiful finish and everything is provided to make your stay a very enjoyable one. The quiet location on top of one of those magnificient Tuscany hills, the view, and having most of the places of interest closeby... We all had a wonderful stay, adults and children.

Beautiful Tuscan Property!
This is our 2nd stay at this property. Is it exactly what you imagine Tuscany to be like. Breathtaking scenery all around you. We would sit outside morning and at sunset. The views are amazing. We didn’t get to use the pool this time because it was a bit chilly but it is beautiful. The place inside is so cute! Rooms were big, beds comfortable and very clean. Having Serena cook dinner for us 2 times was definitely a highlight. It is a must! We highly recommend booking this for your Tuscany vacation! The town of Castellina in Chianti is a short 15 min drive and has the cutest walking street with shops and restaurants. Many wineries close by. Very convenient to seeing all the town in Tuscany.

AMAZING !!
This property checked ALL the boxes for the Tuscan portion of our vacation. We were excitedly impressed just driving up to it. It sits stately on a hill, and overlooks the surrounding beautiful Tuscan countryside. The well-maintained grounds are impeccable! We spent a great deal of time on lounge chairs by the amazing pool, overlooking views that belong on postcards. This genuine Tuscan villa provided plenty of space for the four of us (2 couples). It was very clean, well-equipped, and exceeded our expectations. Even though it is one of 8 units on the property, it felt very private. Our courteous hosts, Emma and Paul communicated very well, and were extremely helpful with our pre-trip planning. Jacky, our very attentive (local) go-to person, was fantastic ! We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Casa del Fico… It was sad to leave this magical place.

Tuscany Villa
Amazing scenery. Believe all the pictures. Saw porcupines, wild boars with offspring and the town Castellina in Chiante is absolutely charming. We drove to Tuscany only to find we already had the same gorgeous vistas from the villa. Serena's cooking is simply legendary. Far better than any restaurant. Her zucchini flowers were a huge hit. Thanks again Serena. We were lucky enough to have her cook for us 3 nights! You do need GPS and patience on the last bit of road.

Paradis en toscane
Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine dans la maison d’Emma et Paul. Le bagnaie regroupe 8 logements tout en haut d’une colline avec une vue splendide sur la toscane, ses vignes et oliviers. On se croirait dans un petit village. C’est très calme et paisible. La maison casa del fico est très bien équipée. Un rdc séjour cuisine. A l’étage 3 chambres et 3 salles de bain. Et petit plus. Il y a la climatisation dans les chambres. Tellement agréable pour un bon sommeil. La location a une terrasse et un petit jardin. C’est vraiment un endroit exceptionnel. Le paradis. Paul et Emma n’étaient pas sur les lieux durant notre semaine mais toutes les informations nécessaires nous ont été transmises sans problème. Et il y a toujours un contact sur place. Nous recommandons fortement cette belle adresse !

Sehr schöne Wohnung und Anlage, ideal für Familien
Das Anwesen ist einzigartig - sowohl die Lage als auch die Anlagen. Alles ist sehr sauber und funktioniert, die Küche ist für mehrere Personen sehr gut eingerichtet. Die Anlage selber ist sehr eindrucksvoll - man hat einen schönen eigenen Bereich, benutzt aber auch den Tennisplatz oder den Pool mit anderen Personen. Da nicht allzu viele Leute vor Ort sind, ist das kein Problem. Einziger Nachteil ist die fehlende Klimaanlage - im Juli / August, mit konstant über 30°C, wäre diese sehr willkommen.

Outstanding view!
Everything was perfect! The owners Emma & Paul are really helpfull, quick to react and friendly. The house manager is available but not intrusive, she makes sure everything is done to make your stay as confortable as possible. The house, appart from being fully equipped, is nicely decorated and have a lot charm. It has kept its history. The pool is giant, clean and beautiful and the long chairs are plenty. The location is strategic near Siena, Firenze and every smaller places to visit. But all those points are nothing compare to the breathtaking view you get from the top of that hill. From the pool or the south west side of the property the landscape is amazing! We were at first disappointed to not see that view from our terrace but being in the shadow is really nice during the Italian's summer, I can only recommand to stay at la Bagnaie!
