Melograno at Concadoro, Castellina in Chianti - Siena

Concadoro is a wonderfully well maintained working farm which produces oil and Chianti wine. The property is composed of the owners villa and about 400meters away from it are the six rental apartments.

To one side of the property, a short walk away from the apartments. It has pretty views of the wine estate with its vineyards and olive groves, then onto the forested Chianti hills beyond. Around the pool is a lovely sundeck to enjoy the warm Tuscan sun.

The well restored property of Concadoro is a single building housing all 6 apartments. Surrounding the entire building is a large paved terrace, on which each apartment has its own private table with chairs and umbrella. These outside eating areas are not secluded and can easily see their neighbours.

This lovely Tuscan farm is just a short distance from a Chianti road between Poggibonsi and Castellina in Chianti. This road is at a higher level than the buildings. Some noise can be heard from the occasional cars that pass.

Melograno is a large villa with 4 bedrooms. It has a lovely iron table with chairs, shaded by a large umbrella, to dine al fresco. From here there are pretty views of Concadoro's manicured garden and the estates vineyards.

From here a large terracotta arch leads into the private courtyard of Melograno, off which there is a storage room. Steps go up to a typical loggia and the entrance to the villa.

Entering the large glass and iron door there is the kitchen and dining area. To the back of the room is a large fireplace, in front of which is a round table that can be extended to seat comfortably 8 people. Against one wall is the kitchen unit which has gas hobs, oven, and a fridge with freezer.

To the right a rectangular arch leads to the comfortable and spacious lounge, which is furnished with a triple sofa and a two seater sofa. Throughout the living area there are terracotta floors and the traditional Tuscan ceiling of wooden beams and terracotta tiles.

From the lounge two steps down lead into the first of the bedrooms. This is a large double bedroom, furnished with a big wooden wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is a small en-suite bathroom with shower.

Off the kitchen is a corridor which leads to the other bedrooms. To the right is a bathroom with shower. Across the hall from the bathroom is a double bedroom also furnished with a wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Next to the bathroom is a twin bedroom with pretty views across the Concadoro estate. The room is furnished with a large wardrobe and chest of drawers.

At the end of the hall is a second twin bedroom. Like the other bedrooms this also has a large wardrobe and chest of drawers. This room has the same views as the other twin, across the estate and to the forested hills beyond.

Barbecue: communal

From the outside area cars passing on the road can be seen, although there is an olive grove between the road and property.
Fire Place: open

The pool is a short walk away from the apartments. It is a large pool surrounded by a lovely paved sun deck dotted with sun beds and umbrella from where the wonderful views of the property vineyards, olive groves and the forested hills beyond can be admired.
