Villa Vigneto is situated at the very heart of Chianti Classico, about 5 km from Gaiole in Chianti, a medieval village famous for L’Eroica vintage cycling race. The villa sits nestled amongst the vines of an organic winery producing high quality wines and olive oil.
This is a traditional Chianti-style villa with a burnt-red tiled roof and magnificent stone walls. Inside the house is beautifully furnished in an authentic Sienese-style with high ceilings, exposed beams and gorgeous terracotta tiles. Air-conditioned throughout the villa accommodates 8 guests with 4 double bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Measuring approximately 240m2, the villa is surrounded by large terraces (400m2), balconies and 3000m2 of expansive gardens.
Spread out over three levels the ground floor houses the living room, sitting area, kitchen, dining area, master bedroom with en-suite, twin bedroom and family bathroom. The sitting area has a large fireplace and is wonderfully cosy in the cooler months. Up on the first floor is another bathroom and a spacious double bedroom with access to a large roof terrace with breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. The top floor contains a double bedroom and private bathroom complete with 2-person spa bath.
Outside is a heated pool and sun loungers where you can sit back and relax, drink in hand, surrounded by lush grapevines.
Detox in the sauna, enjoy a spot of tennis. The property also has its own cellar restaurant and plenty of hiking trails to explore.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa VignetoThe villa, located in a winery, is a 5-minute drive from Gaiole in Chianti, 30 minutes from Siena and one hour from Florence. Quiet and picturesque, Forbes has previously listed Gaiole as the number one most idyllic place to live in Europe! It indeed is a haven for history buffs and hikers with castles speckling the hills.
Gaiole hosts the world famous L’Eroica, a 200 km vintage bike race that takes its participants south travelling through the beautiful countryside of Chianti, Siena, Val d'Arbia, Montalcino, Val d'Orcia and Crete Senesi.
The Paolo di Siena, an ancient bareback horse race, has been held in Siena’s civic hub, Piazza del Campo, since 1644. This is a genuinely authentic Sienese experience, and the atmosphere is always electric.
As you can probably guess from the name, Chianti is brimming with wineries, many of which are open to visitors.
Region
The picturesque Siena, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a mesmerising destination that encapsulates the essence of Italian culture, history, and natural beauty. With its rolling hills, charming medieval towns, and renowned art, Siena offers a captivating experience for travellers. One of the region's most famous attractions is the historic city of Siena itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's unique feature is the Piazza del Campo, a stunning shell-shaped square that hosts the world-famous Palio di Siena, a thrilling horse race held twice a year. The Torre del Mangia, a towering bell tower, offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside, allowing visitors to fully appreciate Siena's historic and architectural splendour.
Tuscany
With its rolling fields, historical heritage and a cuisine that’s a delight for all the senses, it’s no wonder Tuscany is one of the most popular regions in Italy for holidaymakers. Yet even with its popularity, you can still kick back in one of our luxury villas in Tuscany and feel peace, tranquillity and the joy of seclusion.
This is one destination that really does have a little bit of everything for everyone, whether you’re travelling with family, friends or are just looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone.
