Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany 53013

The historic villa is located on the outskirts of a medieval hamlet, which was already mentioned in the Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri. The view is breathtaking, as the hamlet is framed by the steep slopes of the surrounding sandstone cliffs of Valdarno. The villa dates back to the 17th century and stands on the foundations of a castle from the 13th century. And has retained its charm thanks to a conservative restoration. Thus, the original construction features such as handmade terracotta floors, frescoed ceilings, wooden beams and fireplaces have been preserved. The villa is spread over three levels: On the ground floor - formerly the servants' area - there are several rooms, including a kitchen with pantry, a large living room with fireplace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 1st floor, the noble floor , is accessible both by an imposing double external staircase and by an internal staircase and has 6 large rooms: a frescoed living room, a beautiful living room with original fireplace and frescoed ceilings, a study, several bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen with dining room and access to the panoramic terrace from which you can enjoy unique sunsets. In the sleeping area of the 2nd floor there are 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms available. A basement room could be the castle dungeon of the historic former castle.
