Casale la Canonica, Pietrafitta - Castellina in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

6 bedrooms 6 bathrooms 12 guests Private Pool

Formerly a priest’s house, Casale la Canonica clusters behind the church that greets you at the top of the drive. Set in its own grounds and curved around a paved courtyard, the property, with its different segments and levels, has the appearance of a minuscule hamlet. With six generous bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, this is a wonderful option for parties of up to 12 people, be they groups of extended family or friends. Siena, San Gimignano and Florence are within easy reach for days out and the Chianti towns of Castellina and Radda are close enough to walk to.

For days at home, the generous pool is steps away from the villa. Surrounding greenery makes this completely private. Shallow and deep ends will please swimmers of all abilities. A simple gazebo to one side is a great spot for al-fresco meals. But the villa’s atmospheric, spacious interiors which speak of its history – oil paintings add richness to the clean white-washed walls, terracotta floors and beamed ceilings – also provide lovely places for retreat.

Our Thoughts
The priest had it made: this is a fabulous property. It’s substantial yet airy and full of character, with each room different from the next, in a wonderful position for some of Tuscany’s urban gems, yet deliciously private and away from it all. Antique furnishings constantly catch the eye, yet the interiors are pleasingly uncluttered and elegant. All this with a well-equipped modern kitchen, great pool and en-suites for almost every bedroom. You can’t go wrong.

Notes
Six bedrooms. Seven bathrooms, five en-suite. Steps between many rooms may make it difficult for anyone in the party with mobility issues. The neighbouring church is used just a few times per year. The Wi-Fi runs at 2.4GHz, with a maximum download speed of 8mbps and maximum upload speed of 1mbps.
Mosquito Screens In Bedrooms

Private Pool
