Ellerone 16, Poggibonsi - Siena and Chianti

A magnificent country house with stately Tuscan architecture and lush green gardens. Ellerone’s spacious interiors feature grand high ceilings, with dark-wood furniture, comfortable sofas and plush beds found throughout. The pool and gardens are vast, with astounding views across the hills. On the poolside, you’ll find a neat array of sunloungers, as well as a shady gazebo with a dining table and set of chairs. Closer to the house is a wooden sun-deck, sheltered by an attractive canvas canopy, and featuring an array of cushioned wicker chairs and wrought-iron tables. The entire house and grounds is ideal for medium to large gatherings, where everyone has enough space to have fun and relax.

With an interior that blends modern conveniences and classic designs into an elegant whole, the architecture at Ellerone is both ornate and practical. The bedrooms have an aristocratic style with thick stone walls and plush furnishings. Each has been decorated with a style that is distinct and equally welcoming. Meanwhile, the reception areas are both sleek and rustic, evoking stately country homes and warm farmhouses alike. A cottage in the grounds provides accommodation for two guests who like a little more privacy.
