Villa Agresto, Gaiole in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

Agresto sits on its own private hilltop, decorated with vineyards manicured by the Ricasoli estate. With 360-degree surroundings of exquisite Italian countryside and a classic Tuscan interior decor, Agresto is a secluded idyllic retreat in the Chianti hills of the Siena. The views of the vineyards, olive groves and forests, all stretching outwards to the horizon, are spectacular, and the sunny private pool area is the perfect place from which to admire them.

Of course, the views are magnificent from all angles, but the design and architecture of the stone crafted house mustn’t be ignored. The rooms are well-equipped and nicely spaced out from each other, but it also has the distinctly cosy atmosphere of a family home. There’s a seamless authenticity to the designs, from the exposed wood ceiling beams to the sleek tiled bathrooms, to the subtle colour schemes. The dining room and lavishly equipped kitchen make it a superb choice for anyone looking to show off their cooking and hosting skills, and the bedrooms are exceptionally classy and comfortable.

Ideally situated in central Chianti – world-famous for its food, wine and natural beauty – Agresto is a great place to relax and a great base from which to explore. You don't need to go far, the heart of the Ricasoli estate is 2.5km away and offers castle tours, wine tastings, a bar and a first-class restaurant. The Ricasoli family created the modern Sangiovese grape-based Chianti wine recipe in the late 19th Century and have been producing wine on the estate for 800 years. The current Baron Ricasoli still resides in the nearby Brolio Castle and hosts wine tastings on request.

Beyond the Ricasoli estate, the Chianti life continues. The towns of Gaiole 8.5km away and Castelnuovo Berardenga 11.5km away are packed with artisan products, bars and restaurants to discover while the renaissance cities of art Siena at 20km and Florence at 65km are a day trip away.
