L'Agrifoglio, Gaiole in Chianti - Siena and Chianti
Something of a Tardis, this renovated cottage in Bricciano, a hamlet of 18th-century farmhouses in the heart of the Chianti hills, is a delight. At just one room deep, the villa is compact but its main rooms are surprisingly spacious and, with windows on two sides, light. When you see L’Agrifoglio’s position and views, across a landscape of olive groves, vineyards and wooded upper slopes, you’ll understand why it appealed to the artist who restored it. And an artistic sensibility infuses the whole property, from the pleasing interior décor and entrance loggia, which makes a wonderful outdoor dining room, to the elegant private infinity pool set in a generous secluded garden a brief walk away. Everything has been managed with a lovely simplicity.
The cottage comfortably absorbs parties of up to six – families, friends and couples have all stayed happily here. You’ll want to enjoy being part of this wine-growing region – Gaiole, one of its most popular centres, is your local town, just 10 minutes’ drive away; but you are also well placed for exploring the riches of Siena, Florence and San Gimignano.

Our Thoughts
While there’s a wealth of places to explore from L’Agrifoglio, you may find it difficult to tear yourself away from this refuge. We particularly love the infinity pool and its calm surroundings: a day could happily slide by moving between the water, sunloungers, jasmine-scented sleeping platform and shaded poolside dining table. The villa’s furnished loggia, with equally good views, will be another favourite spot for al-fresco meals, morning or evening. And don’t rule out L’Agrifoglio if you’re holidaying in the spring or autumn: its fireplace in the main room will keep you cosy.
Notes
Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. If you require the twin-bedded room to be made up as a double, please request this at booking; similarly, if you need a cot, please say in which bedroom.

Guest reviews: L'Agrifoglio 
Genk, Belgium
Florence and Siena are “must see” places and Arezzo is also worth a visit. Florence and Arezzo are accessible by train from Montevarchi - don’t attempt to drive.
If you like the fresh air and seeing the scenery, hiring an E bike is a “must”. We hired bikes for a day from the bike shop in Gaiole. We did the route which took us through Radda, San Sano and Lecchi, all lovely to visit. We ended up in the winery at Brolio but if doing again would have gone to the winery at Castello DI Meleto which is nearer to Gaiole and much smaller and nicer with lovely views. This winery/Castle is nice to go for a late afternoon/early evening drink and tapas.
Also the organic winery in Bricciano is worth a visit if you want a tour of the vineyards and wine tasting though the wines are more expensive.
Would recommend the following restaurants:
Osteria II Papavero - Bricciano
La Vina Villa (lavinaosteria.com) on the way to Radda.
Both lovely restaurants!
La Sfizio in Gaiole for great pizzas
Also best bar for great coffee and the best Aperol Spritz I had in Tuscany is the unassuming Bar II Barrio In Gaiole!
