Casino di Vescine, Radda in Chianti - Siena

Looking for a truly spacious and well-located villa? Look no further, because this old stone house offers more than enough room for a party of up to eight and is just a few minutes by car from Radda in the heart of Chianti. Outside, it has a huge lawned garden, prettily planted with trees and shrubs, and set with a luxurious private pool. Kids will love to romp and splash about here under the watchful eyes of adults relaxing on sunloungers or on the covered terrace, where an inviting swing seat beckons.

Inside, that sense of space continues in this uncluttered yet cosy villa, lovingly restored to glory in its stone and brick walls, high beamed ceilings and terracotta tiles. The double lounge is large enough to hold three sofas, and the kitchen has acres of space to prepare and taste the delicious booty you won’t be able to resist filling your basket with at the local market. A hall keeps the two ground-floor bedrooms a tranquil distance from the living areas, both of which have large glass doors that let the light flood in and guests to step out into the garden. But the occupants of the two bedrooms upstairs shouldn’t be too jealous, they have their own en-suite bathrooms all to themselves.

Our Thoughts
From the minute you pass through the gate and along the gravel drive, we think you will fall for this villa. Its spaciousness and layout, inside and out, means that it works beautifully for a sizeable group of people holidaying together. All the rooms are well-proportioned and the room flow is well-arranged, the large lawn provides a pretty playground for little ones, and then there’s that huge pool. There are other little bonuses, too: the table-tennis area tucked away at the back of the garden, the swing seat for cuddling up on by the terrace. We love it and we think you will, too.

Notes
Four bedrooms. Three bathrooms, two en-suite. The garden is completely fenced but the pool is open to the lawn. Air conditioning is installed in the two first-floor bedrooms only. There are ceiling fans in all bedrooms and in the lounge. Air conditioning is charged extra on-site.

Pool
The pool is in the back garden. It has a paved surround and is entered using internal steps. There are sunloungers, deckchairs and parasols arranged on the surrounding lawn and a pagoda with table and chairs at one side.
Pool size: 6m x 12m, 0.96m - 2.6m deep. Open from May to September weather permitting.
