Il Poggetto a Vescinino, Radda in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

Tucked away behind trees, yet opening out onto breathtaking hillside views, this charming country villa is an escapist’s dream. The swimming pool is set on the edge of a vivid green valley. An elegant nearby terrace is shaded by a trellis gazebo, and bordered with decorative plants. A second terrace is situated close to the main entrance under a sheltered pergola, overlooking the expanse of trees and lawns. The house is set on a split-level, with entrances to the garden from both floors, and gorgeous views into the sleepy towns of Panzano and Radda on either side. A beautiful sanctuary in the lush Chianti valley.

The stone-built house is entered via a cosy lounge. A splendid archway opens out onto the pretty country-style kitchen-diner. This area has a rustic wooden dining table and is equipped with everything you need to prepare a delicious meal with the freshest local ingredients. There’s even a fireplace here. A twin bedroom for children is on this floor, and two more bedrooms can be found down the sturdy wooden staircase. The interior is lovingly decorated with paintings, tasteful ornaments and antiques, further adding to an atmosphere of homely calm.

Our Thoughts
This villa is the embodiment of tranquillity. With a variety of comfortable and picturesque places to relax, there’s room for everyone to socialise, to enjoy some quiet time with a book, or to just lay by the pool and stare at the view. While the gardens are subtly magnificent in their own right, the interior is also worthy of sincere praise. This is largely thanks to the very individual choices of decoration, with the paintings and idiosyncratic artworks lending the villa a cosy lived-in sense of character.

Notes
2 pairs of twin beds (one of which can be converted into a double if requested when booking).
1 double bed (cannot be converted into a pair of twin beds).
The owner lives in a cottage on-site near the pool, and they may sometimes use the pool.
The ceiling in the ground floor bedroom is quite low and is recommended for children rather than adults.
The property is not fenced or pet-secured.
There are two sheltered car parking spaces on site.

Pool
The pool is set 60 metres from the house on the edge of the property, adjacent to the views of the valley and beside the largest terrace. It measures 5x10 metres with a varying depth of 1.2 and 2 metres. One can enter and exit the water via a series of Roman steps, or via a steel ladder. The pool is available for use from May until the end of September. It is cleansed with a chlorine-based system. The owner of the property and her family may sometimes use the pool.
