The Chianti Cottage

The Chianti Cottage: Tuscany

This studio apartment in a stone barn conversion is a perfect blend of modern and antique design. We love the infinity pool (40 metres away) which overlooks the Val d'Orcia, offering breathtaking views. It’s surrounded by wild plants and shrubs that reflect the forested land beyond. The owner’s live in the main house with their two friendly dogs and they occasionally use the pool when the area is unattended by guests. The private furnished terrace and outdoor lounge area here is a lovely spot for a glass of wine. If you prefer to be a bit more active, there are endless trails and routes for walkers and bikers, while the pretty village of Gaiole is 11 kilometres away.

*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's parking for one car here (access is via a track).
