Grapes & Olives

Tucked into the rolling hills of Chianti, this villa sits on a working winery and olive oil farm – and yes, they do offer tastings. The lower half of the main villa is where the magic happens while upstairs has been transformed into a cosy apartment with exposed beams, a fireplace, modern kitchen and three characterful bedrooms. Across the courtyard, a self-contained annex with two extra bedrooms and a kitchenette is ideal for when the whole family comes along. The pool overlooks the vineyards with a chic dining area on the patio for long, leisurely lunches. And when you fancy a change of pace, the delightful town of Castellina is only 5 kilometres away, with restaurants, bars, and gelaterias.

Home truths:
*Bedrooms are split between the main house and a self-contained annex.
*This home is a working farm, and the lower floor of the main building has been preserved for winemaking. The owner may occasionally be present to oversee operations and to invite guests to enjoy a wine and olive oil tasting.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free on-site parking.
