Villa Pietra del Chianti is originally a Medieval monastery belonging to the church of San Bartolomeo, placed on the ancient Via Francigena that went from France to Rome - is surrounded by beautiful corners where you can read, write, and enjoy the view in the cool shade, caressed by the breeze that mitigates even the hottest hours of summer days. Blessed with stunning views on the Chianti Classico hills as far the eye can reach, there are also woodlands with lots of ancient oak trees and vineyards.
On clear days from the swimming pool you can see the towers of San Gimignano in the distance.
The pool, overlooking the valley below, is equipped with table and chairs where to enjoy al fresco meals. The sunsets from here are simply amazing!
A second area, equipped with table, chairs and sun umbrella, in front of the entrance is perfect for eating in the morning. Outside the entrance a door opens into the utilities room that hosts a small laundry section with washing machine for guest use. A variety of aromatic plants (tarragon, rosemary, oregano, sage, thyme and mint), which guests can pick and use in the kitchen, are placed outside the entrance. Thanks to roses, and lavender, the air in summer mornings and evenings is filled with wonderful smells.
The Villa offers another very charming terrace, with an open view on vineyards and overlooking hills, sofa and arm chairs. This is a perfect place to rest or have lunch even in the hottest days!
The villa has wood beamed ceilings and cotto tile floors in all rooms. All windows in the house have mosquito nets.
Private entrance is from the ride of the access road lined with oaks, pine trees and cypresses. The main door opens directly into the living/dining room with fireplace and Satellite TV and wi-fi internet connection.
A panoramic window opens onto the view and the terrace below.
A door on the right of the living room opens into a brand new kitchen, equipped with 6 hobs, electric oven, fridge, freezer, micro oven and dishwasher. The kitchen window opens onto the view.
A second door on the living room opens onto a short passage that leads to the other rooms. There are six doors in this section. One opens into the study area with desk, sofa and two antique libraries with plenty of art and gardening books.
Another door opens into the main bathroom with shower (pay attention to warm water: it's really hot; before having a shower, please turn the two taps and mix carefully hot and cold water)
Two double bedrooms (the blue and the red one) and one bedroom with two single beds (the green one) open near the second bathroom.
You can find a fireplace and barbecue and the wood is payable in loco (when used)
