Villa Michele

A stylish and welcoming home in the heart of Chianti, this is a wonderful setting for a holiday with friends or family. Ideal in the summer with its extensive terraced gardens, a choice of beautiful outside dining areas and a large pool, while its exceptionally comfortable and elegant interiors make it a suitable house in cooler months of the year. Ideal for an anniversary or special celebration. Cleverly combining antique pieces and furniture from their travels with the colours and relaxed country style of Tuscany, the owners of Villa Michele have created an unusually beautiful home on the edge of a rural hamlet. Each bedroom has a unique style with colour washed walls and wooden beamed ceilings. A comfortable sitting room with fireplace is wonderful in cooler months. Many love looking through the interesting books left by the owners for the benefit of guests. Experienced pianists will also appreciate the Blüthner grand piano. A welcoming kitchen with open fireplace and dining area is also the setting for delicious Tuscan meals. The large covered dining terrace above lawned terraces studded with olive trees, commands a unique view of a ruined castle against a spectacular panorama of rolling woodlands, premium Chianti vineyards and the uplands of Le Crete. A huge pool deep enough for serious swimmers and with shaded pavilion is set in the extensive lawned gardens and is in an inviting setting for ultimate relaxation. Highly recommended.
