Valliole, Gaiole in Chianti, Siena and Chianti

This sprawling 17th-century villa occupies a dreamy position in the heart of rolling Chianti country with views across oak forest, vineyards and olive groves. Beautifully restored, Valliole has a real sense of style and combines well-worn terracotta tiles and wooden beams with contemporary style featuring modern art pieces. Sleeping eight across the main house and a separate annexe, it suits a large family or group of friends who wish to relax and indulge themselves in the splendour of their surroundings, while soaking up the gorgeous scenery.

The spacious gardens are adorable, laced by stone paths scented by colourful flowers, and dotted with olive trees. A spacious pergola overlooking the large private pool is furnished with a table and chairs, while a stone outbuilding holds a table and benches plus a barbecue and a sink. Additional spots just outside the lounge and to the front of the villa add to the choice of spots to relax al-fresco. The luxury continues around the private pool, which is set slightly lower than the house, with plenty of places to soak up the sun, all with views to Siena. The Tuscan hamlet of Lecchi in Chianti with a small grocery store, wonderful restaurant and a bar is a 5 minutes drive or a nice walk through the vineyards of half an hour away, while Radda in Chianti at 15 minutes drive offers plenty of restaurants, a supermarket and lovely shops nearby.



All bedrooms have ceiling fans and in winter the house is heated with underfloor heating and radiators. A brief housemaid service for kitchen and bathrooms, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, is included in the rental. By the main terrace there is a laundry room with washing machine.
