Experience the Timeless Elegance of Tuscany: A Private Hilltop Villa Retreat in the Heart of Chianti, Offering Refined Italian Living, Panoramic Countryside Views, and Exceptional Access to Florence, Siena & San Gimignano

Set amidst the rolling hills of Chianti, just 30 minutes from the cultural gems of Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano, this exclusive eight-bedroom villa invites guests into an authentic yet elevated Tuscan experience. Surrounded by olive groves, rose gardens, and undulating vineyards, the estate combines centuries-old architecture with contemporary luxury—perfect for families, groups of friends, or intimate celebrations.

Whether relaxing by the heated infinity pool overlooking the valley or dining al fresco under the stars, guests are enveloped in Italian charm and tranquillity. With top-tier concierge services, bespoke experiences, and thoughtfully curated interiors, this villa offers a Tuscan escape where history meets modern indulgence.

About This Experience

Perched on a hilltop with sweeping views of the Tuscan countryside, this beautifully restored estate artfully merges two historic buildings—an ancient watchtower and a traditional hay barn—joined by a striking glass corridor. The villa sleeps up to 16 guests across seven main ensuite bedrooms and a separate guest suite at pool level.

Interiors are refined and welcoming, styled in earthy tones with luxurious Frette linens, air conditioning, and high-end amenities including Dyson hairdryers, plush bathrobes, and artisanal toiletries. A state-of-the-art kitchen, expansive indoor and outdoor living areas, and multiple split-level terraces offer both communal spaces and intimate corners for rest and relaxation.

The landscaped gardens are quintessentially Tuscan—terraced across olive-lined walkways and filled with fragrant jasmine and flowering roses. With an outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, shaded dining areas, and sun-soaked lounging spaces, every detail has been designed for la dolce vita.

An Example Stay

Day 1 – Arrival in Tuscany
Arrive at the villa, where you’ll be welcomed with a chilled glass of Prosecco and a light welcome dinner prepared by a local chef. Settle in, explore the gardens, and toast the view of San Gimignano as the sun sets over the valley.

Day 2 – Relaxation & Villa Life
Start your morning with Pilates on the terrace or a slow breakfast on the sunlit patio. Spend the day enjoying the pool, reading in the lounge, or soaking in the outdoor shower. In the evening, use the pizza oven for a family-style dinner under the stars.
