Ultimo Eremo, Gaiole in Chianti - Siena

Ultimo Eremo is an impressive stone villa with private pool just a short drive from the market town of Gaiole and within walking distance of the facilities of the holiday complex of Casa al Vento. This three-level property is a great base for up to eight guests in the heart of Chianti, with four cosy bedrooms and a sunny yellow open-plan lounge-diner arranged to ensure there is a general feeling of spaciousness. The classic Tuscan styling of terracotta floor tiles and wooden-beamed ceilings is a lovely traditional touch, but this home away from home has all the mod cons you’ll need for a very comfortable stay. Still not completely relaxed? No problem, there’s the luxurious bonus of your own small private sauna.

The huge windows in the living room look out onto a sun-kissed pool, a prime location for soaking up the rays and cooling off. The furnished gazebo is an ideal space for a game of cards or lunch fresh from the barbecue. But there is a more secluded outdoor perch, too, on the first-floor terrace. With its uninterrupted views of the forested hillsides, olive groves and vineyards, this is a good spot for a quiet morning coffee or a romantic sundowner.

Our Thoughts
Ultimo Eremo is perfectly suited to small parties of friends or family. Being split across three floors means each bedroom has its own space and a sense of privacy and the huge gardens provide plenty of room for enjoying the peaceful setting. It’s the outdoor aspects of this villa that make it stand apart – the panoramic views of vineyard and olive grove-strewn hills are divine and the two terraces and stylish pool area offer excellent spaces for soaking up these surroundings.

Notes
Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms, all en-suite. The gardens are fenced but the pool is unfenced. The villa is 300m from the main hamlet of Casa al Vento, where guests have access to a restaurant, swimming pool, tennis court, archery range and wellness centre (extra costs please ask your TT agent for more info).

Pool
The pool is in the garden, surrounded with paving furnished with sun loungers and parasols. The water can be accessed by internal Roman steps. A gazebo furnished with a table and chairs, as well as a sauna and shower area, is just a few steps away. Pool Size: 7m x 4m, 1.2m deep. Open from May to September, weather-permitting.
