VERY LARGE AND LUXURIOUS UNIT WITH LARGE PATIO. Centrally located in this small romantic hamlet, surrounded by Mediterranean trees, shrubs and herbs is Caravaggio. Built from traditional Tuscan stone, the property has been exceptionally well restored, retaining many of its original features. This is the perfect property for couples wanting a romantic holiday.

A small porch with double doors leads into this spacious ground floor one bedroomed apartment. The property has handmade terracotta tiled flooring and traditional tiled and beamed high ceilings throughout. The furnishings have been carefully chosen to create a stylish modern interior.

The lounge is comfortably furnished with two leather sofas and chairs, and has a flat screen TV with DVD and video player at one end. One of the sofas converts to a double bed.

Next to the lounge area is the modern kitchen/diner, which has a fully furnished kitchen with oven, gas hobs, fridge with freezer section and dishwasher to one side and an oval wooden table and chairs at the other.

The dining area has double doors which lead out to a small private terrace which has a table with a stone bench seat and a portable barbeque.

Down two steps to the left of the kitchen is a small corridor which leads to the bedroom. The two windows which look out to the front of the property let in plenty of light, making this a very bright airy room with a kingsize bed, writing desk and chair, and a further table and chairs for relaxing in. At the end of the corridor next to the bedroom is the luxury bathroom, which unusually has both a bath and a shower.

A beautifully restored, tastefully furnished apartment, in a great location.

Galenda is a small romantic hamlet located not far from Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti, two of the main towns of the area. Galenda sits at the top of a hill surrounded by typical Chianti Classico Tuscan landscape with cypresses, olive groves and vineyards.

The swimming pool is located about 50 meters away from the villas with vineyards rising to one side and a fantastic panoramic view across the Chianti hills to the other. It is the perfect place for relaxing after a day of sightseeing with it’s intimate atmosphere. There is a separate pool for children.

Galenda is an ensemble of 12 houses all renovated to extraordinary standards and all with a private entrance and garden or terrace . High quality materials have been used for the restoration: handmade terracotta floors and the beautiful terracotta tiled, typical Tuscan high ceilings with wooden beams are distinctive features of these charming villas. There are two roads passing through the hamlet that join and ending in a small charming square. The communal car park is located at the entrance to the property.

Galenda lies in a completely quiet rural setting, away from the flow of tourists, however is the perfect place from which to explore the entire Chianti.
