About this property

Charming ancient farm house in Chianti

Charming ancient villa in Tuscany located in the heart of Chianti. 50 km from Siena and 30 km from Florence, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and 5 acres of olive groves and private wood. Beautiful garden with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside including the towers of San Gimignano. Nice swimming pool of 6x3 meter, 1,40 hight, with a calm and sunny wood deck in a wanderful position overlooking tuscany's hills.
To have breakfast under the arbor looking at the Tuscany's hills is an unforgettable experience as well as to eat a "bruschetta" with olive oil got directly in the "terracotta" jars kept in the house basement. Immersed in the woods and olive groves is the perfect location to visit historical places as Certaldo, Volterra, San Giminiano, Greve and many others cities and spots of art and culture... It also offer a lot of opportunities for trekking and natural activities. The house is elegantly furnished with antique furniture and has an extensive library of rare and vintage books.
Large traditional eat in kitchen, spacious living room area with old fashion fireplace, 2 bathrooms, study, library, 4 bedrooms that accommodate up to 10 people. Fully equipped (TV, DVD, washing machine, dishwasher and free Wi-Fi) with all comforts and amenities including mosquitos net.
For many years Barbara, an anthropologist and her husband Elio, a medical doctor working for international organizations, travelled and lived in several countries together with their three daughters who were all born in this family house. They now live mainly in Rome, managing with great passion this beautiful country house and its olive grove, which produce an extra virgin DOC oil.
Barbara and Elio have then decided to rent for short time this charming and ancient family house to those who love Tuscany and arts.

Amazing, gorgeous, perfect Tuscan experience!
From the moment we arrived at this outstanding property until our departure (after a horrendous thunderstorm!), we had an incredible, lovely stay at this ancient yet updated and well appointed property. The location is isolated yet close to everything we needed. We cooked in the gourmet kitchen and ate outside most nights. We had the most relaxing, therapeutic stay prior to my son’s wedding in Florence. Can’t wait to return! La vita e bella!

Wonderful character filled Tuscan home
Our family had a great restful time staying at this character home. We had a great time using the pool and having alfresco breakfasts and meals near the pool. Beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside and olive groves extending from the house. Thank you Barbara for a wonderful experience and opening your family home to us. We will definitely be back!

Host profile image
Barbara, an antropologist and his husband Elio, an humanitarian medical doctor, have been travelling and living in several countries of the world toghether with their three daughters who have born in this ancient family house. In the last years Barbara and her family live in Italy for long span of time, where they manage with great passion this beautiful country house and its olive grove producing an extra virgin oil DOC.

When they have time to go in their farmstead of Montalbino, Barbara and her family find again the peaceful of those houses that have an history and a soul: the old "cotto" tiles, the ancient books and old family's things, the traditional fireplace, the large country style kitchen with the hanged pots and the garden with a wanderful view. To have a breakfast under the arbor looking at the tuscany's hills is unforguettable as well as have a "bruschetta" with the new olive oil got directly in the "terracotta" jar in the cave.

Barbara and Elio live now in Rome and for few months are abroad for work. They have then decided to rent for short time this charming and ancient family house offering it to whom loves Tuscany and arts.

Why they chose this property

Barbara and her housband, live between Rome and Venice and for some months they work abroad. They decided to rent for short periods this old family house to share it with travellers who enjoy and love Tuscany, the countryside, the arts and the beauty of this unique region.
