Casale la Canonica, Pietrafitta - Castellina in Chianti - Siena
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.
Approach road: 500m of good unpaved road
The large rectangular pool has a shallow end, where the water is accessed by ladder steps. The paved poolside is well furnished. A simple gazebo, with table and chairs, is close by.
Pool size: 5m x 10m, 1.3-2.5m deep, open from mid May until the end of September, weather permitting

What is a pre arrival shopping service?
In some villas, it is possible to have a Pre arrival shopping service. The availability of the service is noted in the villa description. To help you through the first day or two of your holiday, owners can do a small shop before your arrival so that you do not have to go immediately to find a supermarket. By contacting your To Tuscany villa specialist in advance and providing them with a shopping list you will find the items in your villa on arrival. Please note that the service cannot be guaranteed with less than 48 hours notice before arrival.

Guest reviews: Casale la Canonica 
Naarden, NetherlandsWould you like to translate?
Prachtig huis, mooi decor. Ruim, veel badkamers, ideaal voor meerdere gezinnen. Fijne keuken en terras met grote tafel. Prima zwembad. Besloten, veel privacy, maar - hoewel op een heuvel - vanuit het huis en de tuin geen uitzicht over de omgeving.Restaurant op 200 m afstand onderaan het gehucht is een aanrader.
