The vine-clad hills of Chianti are the classic image of Tuscany and the beautiful backdrop for Villa Tregole. Here in the heart of the Classico vineyards, a working winery has been turned, in part, into a supremely comfortable property where groups of friends or extended family can gather.
You could easily immerse yourself in the rural solitude of this peaceful retreat, where the sound of the winery’s activity provides a gentle distraction and a cultural connection. You might only stray from your lounger to enjoy a tasting of the owner’s wines, or to trace the path through the woods for lunch at the restaurant in Fonterutoli. Yet there are so many nearby temptations for an outing – the Classico wineries, the historic towns of Castellina and Radda, the charming city of Siena, and some fantastic mountain biking and walking terrain.
This handsome stone property is next to the welcoming owner’s home yet completely private. It’s such a clever choice for get-togethers. Inside the main house, a spacious living room leads to a large kitchen-diner. The four bedrooms, all en-suite, are on the first floor, away from the hubbub. Two separate apartments offer a little more privacy for those who like their space. Throughout the rooms, prettily decorated in pastel shades, you’ll find the traditional features of a Tuscan country home – large fireplaces, terracotta floors, wooden beams, vaulted ceilings, shuttered windows.
All three dwellings have private entrances, yet spill out onto open and covered terraces that take full advantage of the villa’s setting on a ridge. Here you can dine on feasts of your own making – or created to order by the owners – while gazing at the rolling hills laced with olive groves and oak woods. Below is a luxurious pool with a wraparound sundeck – yet another place from which to indulge in this villa’s main pursuit, the idle contemplation of dreamy views.

We walked to the local village through the woods and ate in the local restaurant but we loved Castellina in Chianti for eating out which is about a 5 minute drive away. We took advantage of the home made pizza night and Italian dinner in Tregole itself provided by the owners which was just brilliant along with their wine produced on their vineyard which was excellent.
