Location
The historical region of Chianti which is situated right in the centre of Tuscany, between north of Florence, Siena and the south of Arezzo and finally east of the towns of Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti. This area constitutes a particularly important centre of attraction for the numerous historical testimonies of a past dating back to the Etruscan era. Furthermore, the prestige that this area enjoyed in the Renaissance era is testified by the numerous medieval castles, all perfectly preserved, that can be seen along the famous “road of the castles”. From Gaiole, in fact, it is possible to choose from numerous itineraries that lead to the surrounding castles. The Chianti countryside is perfect for horseback riding in the tranquillity of the vast network of paths and unpaved roads which meander through the woods and hills and it also permits visitors to explore the abundance of food and wine that characterizes this area. Here, too, a series of itineraries lead to the exploration of the ancient Tuscan flavours skilfully produced by the local growers. The proximity of the airports Florence, Pisa and e allow easy access to this region as does the motorway A1 exit at Valdarno and Valdichiana which easily connects the hamlets in the Chianti area, Radda, Greve, Castellina, Volpaia etc. and the rest of Tuscany. The closer train station is Siena.

Exterior
The house is surrounded by a peaceful garden that adapts to the sloping surface of the property and is one with the beautiful setting of vineyards, woods and hills that delimit it naturally. The vegetation composed of lavender bushes, wild roses, jasmine, strawberry trees, herbs and borders of rosemary, which frame the dry stone walls and short stone paths, is the backdrop to the panoramic pergola just outside the living room French windows and to the exclusive pool, the perfect spot from which to admire the beautiful sunset over the Chianti hills.
The rectangular-shaped swimming pool is located behind the villa, on lower terracing, and is reached down a few steps near the pergola. Lined in grey PVC, it measures 3 x 9 m with the depth ranging from 1.40 to 1.60 m and fits perfectly into the natural landscape that surrounds it. There are three steps for easy access to the water and it has chlorine purification. The sunbathing area, in part paved in stone around the pool and in part lawn, is provided with sunbeds and umbrellas and is bounded on one side by dry stone walls and on the other by a thick screen of vines. There is also a cold-water shower. The pool will be available from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
