Chiantosa

Just 30 minutes away from Florence, in the heart of the Chianti wine region, Chiantosa is positioned in the middle of vineyards and is offering the ideal combination between modern design and traditional Tuscan atmosphere. The house owned and completely redesigned by the owner, who is an architect from Milan, guarantees a unique holiday experience.

Chiantosa is a private holiday villa of approximately 200 square meters, surrounded by two hectares of private land planted with olive trees. The Italian owner normally lives in Milan, but in Summer she takes care of the guests herself and lives in the second building next to Chiantosa. Offering the guests the perfect experience is her passion and privacy is absolutely guaranteed.

The main villa for 6 guest is divided over two floors. The ground floor has a well-equipped white modern kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, a dining room, a sitting room with comfortable sofas and armchairs, bookshelves on the wall, an old fireplace and ambient lighting. On the second floor, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside under the pergola a large wooden table is the perfect spot for a large family lunch or dinner or to sit down with your morning coffee. Relax in the attractive lounge area or settle down in the sun loungers near the private pool, surrounded by green lawns and incredible views over the neighboring vineyards and Tuscan hills.

Chiantosa is finished with light gray concrete floors, old ceilings decorated with white washed ol wooden beams, and restored original doors. The large iron windows make the house bright and friendly and offer a stunning view over the countryside. A warm, bright, modern and comfortable atmosphere is what this villa offers their guests. Everywhere in the house striking pieces of art are filling the walls, made by the mother of the owner, a well known artist.

Its strategic location, 15 kms from Florence, 50 kms from Siena and 7 km from San Casciano Val di Pesa (an alluring medieval village), makes this villa an ideal base for discovering this captivating region.

In request both structures can be rented which makes it a private residence for 10 guests. Please ask for options and prices.
