Apartment Castellina in chianti (Tuscany) for 4 people

A small Medieval village, totally refurbished, is located on top of a Chianti hill, only 6 km from Poggibonsi, 14 km from Castellina in Chianti and 17 km from San Gemignano, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypresses. The owners, driven by their love for old things and by their desire to live in the country, took over 5 years to refurbish , with great skill and love, some of the small village houses. They not only left unaltered the architecture of each house, but also restored all the furniture they found in the old cellars and in the warehouses.

The back of the village was terraced. There is a lawn: lavender, Spanish broom, sage and rosemary are everywhere. A fenced path leads to the swimming pool (6 x 12m; opened from middle May to last Saturday of September) which is surrounded by olive trees.


“Il Borghetto” is made up of five flats. Each flat has got its own open area. All the flats have got Sat TV pointed towards Astra and Hotbird. All the flats, except for “La Macina”, have got a dish washer.

If you love theTuscan hills, good wine, the quietness and the architecture of old country houses, you can’t help booking one of the “Il Borghetto” flats.

Children are welcome but, considering the structure of the house, the fine antique furniture and the absence of areas equipped with games for children, it is advisable for parents to keep a careful eye on them.

IL COLOMBAIO

The entrance is on the ground floor and is independent compared to all the other flats of “Il Borghetto”.

Through a small opening and a staircase, you can get to the first floor. If you go right, at the end of the staircase, you will see a bathroom with a shower and two bedrooms (a double one and one with twin beds). On the right there is another bathroom with a shower and the livingroom with characteristic small windows once used by doves. An old stone staircase – that the owners intentionally did not alter – leads you to a small sitting room below.
A the end of the above mentioned staircase there is also a door opening into the courtyard. A few steps there lead you to the raised terrace which is equipped with a table, chairs and a large beach umbrella. There you can enjoy a wonderful view of the whole raised garden at the back of “Il Borghetto” and of the nearby hills.

This apartment can be rented by a group of 6 persons too. A special little door, if let opened, can to unit this apartment with “La Macina” below.
