The house is entered through its own private courtyard garden, landscaped with rose bushes and rosemary and containing a dining table and chairs for dining out of doors. The large living area with open fireplace has terracotta floors and high ceilings, as do all the rooms in the house. The comfortable sofa converts into a double sofa-bed and there is a satellite television with CD and DVD facilities, as well as two easy chairs for reading.

Down three steps through a grand archway lies the large, fully-equipped kitchen, which includes an electric oven and hob with four burners, a refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker and dish washer beneath a polished granite top. It is furnished with a Tuscan oak dining table and chairs suitable for 8 people, as well as with another comfortable reading chair next to the door opening out onto the courtyard garden.

At the end of the hallway leading from the living area is the generously-proportioned master bedroom with a door window opening onto a path private to the villa, on the other side of the path there is the garden of the neighbouring villa. The door is the only window in the room. The room is furnished with a hand-made double bed frame with orthopaedic mattress, two bedside tables, a triple wardrobe and a writing/dressing table. Its large bathroom located next door contains a tub and a separate shower nestled in a brick and stucco archway.

In the second bedroom there is a double wardrobe, dressing table, bedside table and the hand-made iron bed frames of the twin beds, also equipped with orthopaedic mattresses, which can be made up as a king-sized bed, if desired. This room has high ceiling windows that look out onto a path private to the villa, beyond is the garden of a neighbouring villa. This bedroom opens onto a landing that leads to a separate bath and shower.

Returning to the courtyard garden, one walks through a porte-cochere out to a landscaped garden with a terrace under a pergola. The terrace looks out to the south over the vineyard and rolling hills that tumble down the valley towards Siena and it is furnished with additional chairs as well as a table for drinks and reading materials. The courtyard garden is closed in without views while the terrace under a pergola is open with views.

Pinturicchio is the home of a semi-retired art historian who has decorated it with original prints and reproductions of Italian paintings from the National Gallery in London.

Resort: Pretaccione

Podere Pretaccione, 1000 year old, was once the home of itinerant priests. Located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, Pretaccione provides a restful, rural setting just 20 minutes from historic Siena. The main building has been carefully restored into eight spacious apartments, each comfortably furnished in keeping with the terracotta floors, stone archways and beamed ceilings. A large swimming pool and tennis court with garden furniture are set on a lawned terrace just below the farmhouse. The ancient stone patios provide expansive views of the Arbie River as it winds through the valley toward Siena.

The houses all have private gardens with terraces furnished with tables and chairs for al fresco eating. The pretty village of San Sano, 4km away, boasts an excellent country style restaurant and a small grocery store with a bar.
Pretaccione is on the property of the Dievole Winery and spa, a short drive or a healthy walk up a country road. Visitors are always welcome for wine tastings and special dinners at the winery.

A wonderful experience that was in the heart of wine country. Because of our location we were able to travel throughout the Tuscany region with many options available each day.

Siena and Florence with the architecture of the Churches and the local restaurants in Gaiole, San Sano, and Radda were highlights of the trip.

Le hameau de maison est paisible et agréablement situé en pleine nature. Nous avons apprécié pouvoir utiliser la piscine et le terrain de tennis à tout moment.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé SIENNE et les villages de Toscane alentour. Nous avons trouvé que l'accès à Florence était un peu moins aisé mais que la ville était magnifique. Nous avons apprécié l'accueil réservé dans une pizzeria de CASTELNUOVO DE BERANGA.

Ein idyllischer, schön gelegener Ort, ideal für Leute, die im Urlaub Ruhe und Abgelegenheit suchen. Gleichzeitig ein guter Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung von Chianti.

Ganz nah liegt der Chianti Sculpture Park. Natürlich gehört Siena ins Programm. Weitere Orte, die uns sehr gefallen haben: Castellina in Chianti (mit dem tollen Restaurant Albergaccio di Castellina, in dem liebevoll glutenfrei bewirtet wird), Monteriggioni und die Therme beim Parco dei Mulini in Bagno Vignoni.

Rénovation de qualité, beauté du cadre, bons equipements
Location trop éloignée des commodités, 1/4h de chemin non goudronné avant de trouver une route Correcte. 1/2h du premier village.

Nous avons eu très froid la maison n'ayant pas été chauffée depuis des mois.

Piscine non entrenue, non baignable.

It was an excellent location as we used it as a place to come back to after sight-seeing each day. Each day we went to a new place and it was great to have Pinturicchio to come back to and rest and re-cooperate and get ready for the next day's adventure.
The villa was very damp and we couldn't get the towels dry from one day to the next.
We did not turn on the heat and we were warned of the added expense.

We enjoyed the pizza and lasagna in the restaurant in Gaiole at the Lo SFizio Di Bianchi. Both were delicious! The best winery we visited was the Castello D'Albola. Great tour, beautiful winery and great wine. The best map was the one given to us at check-in in Radda with the coupon for a free tour of the Cantalici Winery. We used it like a bible and managed to only get lost once or twice. The best market we found was in Leechi - great salami, great cheese and bread.

Wonderful rural location, lots of space in the villa, and always cool nomatter how hot outside. Also the pool & tennis court.
No direct view, though the courtyard is lovely. Internet connection was spotty.

The Chianti Sculpture park, Siena, trips to Montalcino and Montepulciano.

Wunderschönes Anwesen mit traumhaftem Blick; komfortabel und gemütlich ausgestattete Wohnung. Schön, dass die Terrasse im kleinen Garten für andere Gäste nicht einsehbar ist. Sehr schöner Pool, ideal gelegen!

Die Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig. Man hört jeden Schritt von den Gästen in dem darüber liegenden Appartement, bei Anwesenheit von kleinen Kindern ist jeder Schrei so laut, als wären dies in der eigenen Wohnung.

Bei Vollbelegung aller Wohnungen sind am Pool eindeutig zu wenig Liegen und Sonnenschirme vorhanden. Der Boden des Pools könnte ein wenig öfter gereinigt werden.
