Casolare di Rietine, Rietine - Gaiole in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

What a looker. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the pages of a glossy interiors magazine when you enter this beautiful villa. But that doesn’t mean it’s some sort of show home – this place has been created for comfort. Snuggle up on a sofa in the lounge and you’ll see just what we mean.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to holiday in surroundings so stylish they will inspire ideas for your own home, this is the villa for you. Casolare di Rietine has benefited from a major makeover and a luxurious contemporary finish now enhances the historic charm of this traditional Tuscan property. Its location is picture-perfect; built into a hillside and surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and an oak forest, it also puts you on the doorstep of the Chianti market towns of Radda and Gaiole and within easy reach of Siena.

A tasteful eye has been cast over this supremely comfortable villa. Beamed ceilings, tiled floors, large windows and glass doors provide a beautiful frame for a contemporary interpretation of the space, which is decorated in pastels with colourful accents, and set with plush furnishings and indulgent touches such as the roll-top bath in one of the en-suites. It’s spacious and well-designed, too; there’s plenty of room for a group of up to eight and the addition of an annexe for two of your party offers a little extra privacy. Outside, the large private pool is bound to be a regular haunt, as are the furnished terraces, including the gorgeous main veranda sewn with a canopy of hibiscus, and a second raised spot for dreamy views of the hilltop village of Lecchi.
