Villa Mandorlo

Villa Mandorlo is a luxurious country home located just a few minutes by car from the borgo of Castellina in Chianti, set in the hilly countryside between Siena and Florence in the heart of Chianti Classico, the splendid area renowned throughout the world for its enchanting panoramic views and for the excellence of its wine. Standing on a 522 m high hilltop, in a wonderful position overlooking the countryside, dotted with olive trees and vineyards and covered by dense wooded vegetation, it is ideal for walking and for practising sports in full contact with nature. Inside the imposing exposed-stone structure, The Villa is characterised by its elegant rooms, with great attention to detail paid to the finishing touches with fine furnishings and accessories in classic style.

The large, air-conditioned bedrooms, the beautiful living room with sofas and big fireplace facing out over the valley and the garden with pool – the perfect setting for a thoroughly relaxing holiday. Not fare from the property, along the scenic Chiantigiana road, a true panoramic bridge linking Siena (about 20 km away) to Florence (about 50 km away), you can make daily excursions to well-known places like Radda, Gaiole, Greve and Panzano – rich in artistic treasures, churches and Renaissance villas perched on panoramic hills – or go further afield to the fascinating little towns of San Gimignano, Volterra or Montalcino.

NB The villa is located within an agritourism estate with some others houses for rent but is completely independant and separated by hedges. About 100 m away is the caretakers’ house – they are very discreet and always on hand for any needs or requests of the guests.

Interior:

The Villa has two floors. The entrance on the ground floor leads into a large living room divided into dining area and sitting area with sofas, fireplace and satellite TV. In front of the dining area is the fully-equipped kitchen which communicates with the outdoor dining area. On this floor is a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and another bathroom with shower for the use of the common area. In every room, French windows lead out to the garden. Two staircases lead up to the top floor; the first goes to two double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom with shower and to a suite composed of double bedroom, sitting room and bathroom with shower; the second staircase goes from the sitting area up to the last suite composed of double bedroom, sitting room and bathroom with shower.

Garden:

The garden surrounding the house, with olive trees, bushes of herbs and varicoloured roses, forms a splendid frame together with the vineyards, dense woods (where it is not uncommon to meet deer, porcupines, squirrels and fox) esand hills that delimit it naturally. Relaxation areas have been set up in a splendid panoramic position in front of the entrance: a sitting area with sofas, armchairs and little tables and a dining area with barbecue, shaded by large umbrellas. Close by is a large parking area. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens’ grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The rectangular pool, about 60 m from the house and set on terracing at a lower level, is reached along a stone pathway through the surrounding olive trees. The pool, lined in blue PVC and with a stone edge, measures 6 x 13 m with a constant depth of 1,50 m. Access to the water is down 4 steps and it has chlorine purification.
