Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Villa delle Upupe is an exceptional vacation rental set approximately 2 km from the charming borgo of Castellina in Chianti, Italy. Positioned atop a hill in the heart of the celebrated Chianti Classico region, this beautifully restored farmhouse occupies a privileged vantage point overlooking a breathtaking landscape of olive groves, vineyards, and dense woodland. The property sits within the prestigious Castellare di Castellina estate, a well-established farm covering approximately 80 hectares and renowned for its production of extra virgin olive oil and some of the finest wines in Chianti. The exposed stone exterior gives way to a captivating interior where every room has been designed with meticulous attention to detail, featuring fine furnishings, carefully chosen accessories, and upholstery that evokes the unmistakable hues of the Sienese countryside. The villa benefits from a generous yard that harmoniously blends into the surrounding natural landscape, providing a serene and private outdoor retreat. Connectivity is ensured through Internet WiFi, allowing you to remain in touch while enjoying the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. Private parking is available on the property, offering convenience upon arrival and throughout your stay.
Outdoors
The garden surrounding Villa delle Upupe adapts gracefully to the natural slope of the terrain, seamlessly merging with the vineyards, woods, and hills that form its picturesque boundaries. Lavender bushes, wild roses, jasmine, strawberry trees, aromatic herbs, and borders of rosemary frame the dry stone walls and short stone paths, creating a fragrant and visually stunning outdoor environment. A panoramic pergola positioned just outside the living room French windows provides an ideal setting for relaxing in the shade and enjoying the sweeping views of the Chianti hills, particularly at sunset. The rectangular swimming pool, which is non-heated, is located behind the villa on lower terracing and is reached by descending a few steps near the pergola. Lined in grey PVC, it measures 3 x 9 metres with a depth ranging from 1.40 to 1.60 metres, and features 3 steps for easy water access along with a chlorine purification system. The sunbathing area surrounding the pool combines stone paving and lawn, and is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas. Dry stone walls and a thick screen of vines provide natural enclosure on either side, enhancing the sense of privacy. A cold-water outdoor shower is also available. The pool is accessible from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, so the appearance of flowering plants and garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
