Casa Primula, Vertine - Gaiole in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

Here’s a novel proposition, a villa that can be divided into two apartments, with a third set of lodgings just down the road in a converted wine cellar. Could this provide the perfect solution for you and friends or family, seeking somewhere to holiday together that will also afford a good degree of privacy? You’ll find this flexible space in the hamlet of Vertine, a beautiful cluster of medieval stone buildings not far from Siena, where you can become one of the locals, albeit briefly, and truly immerse yourself in Tuscan life.

There’s much to recommend about pretty Casa Primula, with its terracotta tiles, exposed stone and wooden beams. At the main house, the two apartments can be kept separate or joined up via an interconnecting door (there is no internal staircase between the ground floor and the first floor), as you prefer, and the converted wine cellar is also self-contained. Meanwhile, everyone can come together in the main house’s large communal lounge and kitchen, on the terraces, at the lovely private pool or even at the private jacuzzi for 6. Now that’s a recipe for perfect harmony.
