Gather around the long table on the terrace, with the rolling Chianti hills stretching out before you, and you'll understand immediately what makes this villa special. Original beamed ceilings, a working fireplace, and a four-poster bed in the main suite give it real character, while a private pool, wood-fired oven, and barbecue mean the outdoor living is just as good. The village of Mercatale is a short walk away for morning coffee or a supermarket run, and the Chianti vineyards begin practically at the garden gate.
