If you are looking for a villa in Tuscany that is set deep in the Chianti countryside surrounded by ancient woods and vineyards, yet is close to the distractions of Siena and the delights of Chianti, look no further than La Cascina (‘The Farmstead‘).

Made of traditional stone and brick, this truly enchanting Tuscany villa was originally built in the 10th century as a stopover for monks travelling the Canterbury to Rome pilgrimage route. The history and character of this peaceful retreat has been lovingly preserved and restored as a charming rural villa containing three cosy apartments, this one, Il Campo (‘the field’), Il Bosco (‘the wood’), and Il Pozzo (‘the well’).

You approach La Cascina through the woods and hills and along a driveway lined with statuesque cypresses. Once on the property, you will impressed by the stunning views over the owner’s vineyards towards the distant medieval fortress town of Monteriggioni. On your first night you will be invited to share a complimentary meal with the genial owners, who know how to cook and produce a damn fine wine!

Il Campo is a cosy apartment that is ideal for a couple or for a couple with small children. You enter this first floor apartment by an external stone staircase into the kitchen/dining area with the double bedroom and bathroom beyond. On the left is a double sofa bed behind a bookshelf/low counter unit.

If you are looking for a lovely traditional villa in Tuscany that offers peace, seclusion, proximity to the delights of Siena, La Cascina ticks all the right boxes.
