Surrounded by vines and olive groves, this villa is part of a winemaking estate in the heart of Chianti – which is just as charming as it sounds. The 16th-century house has been thoughtfully restored to pair period character and modern comforts, so you’ll feel right at home. Outside, there’s a sunny courtyard where you can enjoy dinner and drinks, and a swimming pool with sweeping views over the rolling hills. On a clear day, you can even spot San Gimignano (a UNESCO-listed town that’s forty minutes by car). And with Siena less than half an hour away, you can easily explore Italy’s loveliest Medieval city too.
