Authentic Stone House with Pool & Scenic Views – Perfect for Nature Lovers

Welcome to our family home, a special retreat nestled in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. I’m Lorenzo, your host, and I come from a long line of locals who have cherished this land for centuries. My family has owned this property since the 900s, preserving its history and traditions while adapting it to modern comforts.

When I’m not welcoming guests, I work as a professor at the University of Siena, where I share my passion for history, culture, and the rich heritage of this region. Hosting travelers allows me to connect with people from all over the world and introduce them to the beauty of Tuscany, from its breathtaking landscapes to its incredible food and wine.

This home is more than just a rental—it’s a piece of history, lovingly cared for over generations. Whether you’re here to explore the outdoors, indulge in local cuisine, or simply unwind in a peaceful setting, I’m delighted to share this special place with you. I look forward to making your stay a memorable one!

Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m always happy to offer recommendations or help make your visit truly unforgettable.

Our home is set just outside the charming village of Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany’s renowned wine region. This location offers the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience—far enough from the bustle to enjoy peaceful countryside views, yet close enough to explore the rich culture, history, and flavors of the area.

What I love most about this location is the breathtaking landscape—rolling vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads that seem straight out of a postcard. The fresh country air, the sound of birds in the morning, and the golden hues of sunset make it a truly magical setting.

The center of the village of Castellina in Chianti, just 1.5 km away, is full of authentic charm with its medieval streets, local wineries, artisan shops, and family-run restaurants serving traditional Tuscan cuisine. Whether you’re here to explore historic castles, visit world-class vineyards, hike scenic trails, or simply relax by the pool, this area offers something for everyone.

This home has been in my family for centuries, and I love sharing this special piece of Tuscany with guests. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do

Our home is more than just a place to stay—it’s an authentic Tuscan retreat surrounded by nature, history, and timeless beauty. What truly sets it apart is the unparalleled scenery that changes with the light of the day, offering breathtaking views at both sunrise and sunset.

In the early morning, as the sun rises over the rolling Chianti hills, the mist gently lifts from the vineyards and meadows, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Guests who wake early can enjoy the quiet serenity of the countryside, with nothing but the soft chirping of birds and the occasional rustling of leaves in the breeze. Sipping a morning coffee on the patio while watching the world slowly awaken is a moment of pure tranquility.

As the day unfolds, the Tuscan sun bathes the landscape in warm golden hues, making it perfect for outdoor activities—whether it’s a morning swim, a countryside walk, or an afternoon exploring nearby villages. In spring and summer, the area is full of life, with blooming wildflowers, fragrant herbs, and the vibrant green of vineyards and olive groves. Guests can experience the best of the season by tasting fresh local produce from nearby markets and wineries.

At sunset, the landscape transforms once again. The sky glows in shades of pink, orange, and deep red, reflecting off the hills in a way that feels almost surreal. This is the perfect time to unwind with a glass of Chianti wine in the private garden or on the terrace, soaking in the peaceful countryside as the last rays of sunlight fade behind the horizon. The evenings are calm, with a soft breeze and the distant hum of cicadas, creating a truly magical ambiance.

Whether you’re here for relaxation, exploration, or simply to experience authentic Tuscan living, our home offers a setting that is both timeless and unforgettable—a place where every moment feels special.
