Podere Castello 14
Elegant Tuscan Farmhouse with vineyard views : near Gaiole in Chianti
High in the forested hills of Chianti with sweeping views of vineyards, holm-oak woodlands and an 11th-century fortified church, Podere Castello offers luxury and serenity for up to fourteen guests. This elegant stone farmhouse has been beautifully restored with seven ensuite double bedrooms (plus an extra single adjoining the accessible bedroom for a carer), making it perfect for families, friends or multigenerational groups.
One bedroom and its bathroom are fully wheelchair accessible, and the private infinity-edge pool - with stepped access - ensures everyone can relax in style. The villa combines traditional Tuscan charm with modern comforts: air-conditioning, WiFi, large living spaces, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a shaded terrace ideal for al fresco dining, all in the heart of Chianti and its wineries, yet still within easy reach of the famous towns of Siena, Florence and San Gimignano.
Podere Castello is listed under the following categories:
Accommodation
This ancient stone Tuscan house is set on a wide terrace with an infinity pool, facing a view of Chianti vineyards and a thousand-year old fortified church just below the house! The view is truly spectacular even for Tuscany which abounds with spectacular views.
The swimming pool is lined along the view facing facade of the house, with shaded areas to relax and to eat al-fresco.
The entrance leads into a light-filled dining room with a large sitting/living room to the right, a spacious and well- equipped kitchen to the left, and directly ahead, a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom that is entirely wheelchair accessible. It also has a connecting single bedroom, ideal for a carer.
Heading upstairs you will find an ensuite double-bedrooom on the half landing.
The house has 2 further floors, the first with 3 ensuite doubles and then 2 more doubles, also ensuite, on the last floor, giving a total of 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. The extra single that is connected to the accessible bedroom is not counted in this number.
On the first floor you will also find a second living room on this floor, with sofas and a fireplace.
Outside by the pool a building houses a typical Tuscan pizza oven, as well as a sauna and a Turkish bath.
The double bedroom on the far left is at the half-landing from the stairs, while the double bedroom at the back of the house is entirely wheelchair accessible.
The upper floors are smaller than below as the left hand side of the building is only one storey high. You can see the stairs coming in on the left - they are of course entirely enclosed. But the plans are easier to understand like this.
The last and top floor of Podere Castello has three ensuite doubles
