WHY IT'S SPECIAL- Tucked in the vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico, the restored farmhouse is a magical and luxurious Tuscan experience. Stomp your own grapes, walk to a Medieval castle, wake up to farm fresh eggs. Designer elegance, restored 16th-Century architecture and breathtaking Tuscan views of rolling vineyards and a Medieval castle. Olive groves, Italian cypress and the villa's own wine create Tuscan bliss–which we love admiring from the infinity pool. AMENITIES- Five luxurious bedroom suites, all with their own spa-like bathrooms, create privacy. A new chef's style kitchen (with an original fireplace), outdoor terrace with a pizza oven, and dining areas create space for gathering and celebrating. Cypress trees surround a gorgeous swimming pool, lounge areas, and bocce court with panoramic vineyard views. LOCATION- With weekend farmers markets and hidden wineries, Gaiole was named the "Most Idyllic Place to Live in Europe" by Forbes. You'll also love walking to Vertine castle village, where a quaint restaurant serves coffee, wine and cheeses. And, it's less than an hour's drive from Florence and only a half hour from Siena.
