Casa Lucomeni, Radda in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

There’s a real sense of luxury about this two-storey villa, even in the outside spaces. The private pool has an infinity edge, where bathers can linger and take in stellar views across the vineyards (non-swimmers can position themselves on a lounger on the paved surround or in the shade of the covered pergola). And there’s a charming stone-built loggia, furnished for dining, which flows through elegant arches onto an open terrace with uninterrupted views of the countryside.

Inside, the light-filled villa is equally easy on the eye. The cool white colour scheme, very occasionally lent a splash of colour in a cushion cover or well-chosen picture, amplifies the beauty of the materials, including wooden beams and furnishings, terracotta tiles on the floors and ceilings, and polished metal in the swish modern main kitchen. With copious sofas to relax on in the two lounges, and spacious bedrooms offering calming places to rest. Less is more in this chic uncluttered space.

Our Thoughts
Casa Lucomeni oozes style and is surely one of the most luxurious villas in our portfolio. This property really has the wow factor, from the structural highlights, such as the infinity pool and the loggia, to the dominance of the soft white tones that breathe air into the interiors and bring out the true beauty of the terracotta tiles and wooden beams. You won’t just go home with great memories of a holiday here, you’ll probably pick up some interior design tips, too.

Pool
The salt-water infinity pool is on a lower level in the grounds, down a flight of stone steps. The pool is fenced, with two lockable gates, and the water is accessed via internal steps. A paved surround and covered pergola provide places to relax and take in wonderful views across the olive groves and vineyards.
