The property is located in a very scenic area, with open views of the hills and vineyards of Tuscany, and historically populated since ancient times (Etruscan remains dating back to the 7th century BCE have been found in the area).

The farmhouse (318 m² – 3,422 ft², 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is a typical Tuscan-style rural building dating in its original layout to the 11th century. An interesting feature is that the building has always been maintained in such a way as to preserve its salient features, which therefore remain clearly visible and intact. The ground floor, accessible through a portico and several doors on the sides of the building, houses the old agricultural premises consisting of cellars, stables and technical rooms. The stone staircase with 15 steps rises from the porch to the characteristic arched loggia that gives access to the upstairs dwelling. The door opens to a large living room with adjoining kitchen. From here there is then access to the two sleeping areas of the farmhouse: the first consisting of two bedrooms with shared bathroom, the second of four bedrooms and a bathroom. The turret houses a small sitting room with panoramic views.

Not far from the farmhouse are then a small shed (58 m² – 624 ft²) and an old barn (120 m² – 1,291 m²) that is now dilapidated but can be rebuilt to create a guest house.

The house is set in a well-kept garden of about 5,400 m², with ample space for outdoor moments and the possibility of building a swimming pool.

The rest of the land, on the other hand, is agricultural in nature and includes a 7,400-m² field that could easily accommodate a corral for horses, and some wooded areas (about 1.7 ha) that surround the property and provide privacy.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (603 m² – 6,488 ft², 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is a typical Tuscan-style building with stone walls and exposed bricks. Internally, it was opted to keep the style of the building unaltered with terracotta floors, wooden beams and masonry arches (referring to the original use of the ground floor as stables). Large windows, along with walls with warm colors, ensure bright and welcoming rooms.

The house wraps around a paved central courtyard, ideal for pleasant outdoor convivial moments in summer. The main wing of the building is on two floors: entering from the courtyard, one finds oneself in a large living room with a fireplace and play area. From here one can go to the reading room, a very cozy environment ideal for relaxing. A small hallway leads to the service bathroom and the corridor that, skirting the courtyard, leads to the kitchen and dining room in the other wing of the farmhouse. From the kitchen, one then descends to the basement where there is a pantry and a technical room for equipment.

From the hallway of the main wing, on the other hand, one goes up to the sleeping area where there are four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, the master bedroom with a study corner and private bathroom, and a guest room with a bathroom located along the main staircase.

The guesthouse (147 m² – 1,582 ft², 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is a short walk from the farmhouse and is also a well-preserved and renovated rustic-style building. Each floor houses two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.

Accompanying the farmhouse is a well-kept 3,600-m² garden that houses a paved terrace near the dining room and the 12 × 6 m swimming pool with terracotta sunbathing area.

This restored hamlet is located in the Chianti hills, in an outstanding and very panoramic position in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Finely restored by the current owners, the property is a real gem that embodies all the typical characteristics of Tuscan rustic buildings. Most of the buildings have already been restored and include, at the moment, 15 beautiful bedrooms and elegant living areas. By completing the renovation of the other farmhouses one could reach a grand total of 30 bedrooms (or even more if smaller in size). The property’s 10.2 hectares of land are home to a beautiful Italiangarden and olive grove.

A notable historical fact about the property is that the Italian astronomer and philosopher Galileo Galilei spent some time in the villa, and the bedroom where he stayed still bears his name as a homage. He was, in fact, a renowned wine enthusiast and Chianti lover, to the point that at the end of his life, when confined in his villa in Arcetri, he took over winemaking as a hobby.

Perched on the edge of a medieval town close to Gaiole, this majestic castle is a historical gem in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.
