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 Pozzo (‘the well’), Il Bosco (‘the wood’) and Il Campo (‘the field’).

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!

With its double bedroom and single bed in the living area, Il Pozzo is a cosy apartment ideal for a couple or a couple with a small child. You even have your very own pergola outside so you can eat outdoors or just relax in the warm Tuscan sun.

For the ultimate villa in Tuscany that offers peace, seclusion, proximity to the delights of Siena, La Cascina ticks all the right boxes.
