Sestuccina, Gaiole in Chianti, Siena and Chianti

This romantic contemporary hideaway garners top marks from those who’ve discovered it – including, not surprisingly, a honeymoon couple. Set on a larger property that includes the owners’ home and a small rented cottage, it combines seclusion with views of classic Chianti countryside. Just a short hop from Gaiole, one of the most popular hilltop towns, the villa is ideal for exploring the wine-producing region. However, its charms will encourage you to spend a lot of time here. It’s eco-friendly: it runs entirely on solar power. And, as if these ingredients were not enough, you are free to enjoy fresh eggs from the owners’ chicken coop and organic produce from their vegetable garden. This is Tuscany on a plate.

Your private pool, set against a sculptural rock wall, is unique. Climbing roses tumble over your terrace; a vineyard edges the garden; cypress trees add elegant punctuation marks. In warm weather, you’re likely to want all your meals al-fresco on the terrace; an open fireplace and dining area indoors are great for cooler spring or autumn evenings. A separate ‘wellness area’ near the villa next to a vineyard of the owner, with a heated Jacuzzi, sunloungers, a changing room, bar fridge and outdoor table and chairs, is an alternative for long, indulgent evenings.
