Burrowed in the heart of Chianti Classico, you’ll find the magnificent Villa Vigneto Estate – which sits amongst the vines of an organic winery producing the finest wines and the silkiest of olive oils.

The stone village estate beautifully encompasses Tuscan architecture through exposed beans, terracotta tiling and rustic furnishing – trust us when we say that the interiors are truly a sight for sore eyes.

Air-conditioned throughout, guests will be able to choose from varying accommodation ranging from bedrooms to garden apartments. The garden rooms benefit from a secluded outdoor patio, whereas the rest offer spectacular views.  But wherever you decide to stay, we promise you’ll be in a wonderful position.

Guests can also enjoy two swimming pools with surrounding sun loungers – the perfect spot to kick back, relax and bask in the Italian sun (with a drink in hand). If you feel like a little adventure then you can also enjoy the on-site activities which include a tennis court, fishing lake and intricate hiking trails.

The Estate, located in a winery, is a 5-minute drive from Gaiole in Chianti, 30 minutes from Siena and one hour from Florence. Quiet and picturesque, Forbes has previously listed Gaiole as the number one most idyllic place to live in Europe! It indeed is a haven for history buffs and hikers with castles speckling the hills.

Gaiole hosts the world famous L’Eroica, a 200 km vintage bike race that takes its participants south travelling through the beautiful countryside of Chianti, Siena, Val d'Arbia, Montalcino, Val d'Orcia and Crete Senesi.

The Paolo di Siena, an ancient bareback horse race, has been held in Siena’s civic hub, Piazza del Campo, since 1644. This is a genuinely authentic Sienese experience, and the atmosphere is always electric.

As you can probably guess from the name, Chianti is brimming with wineries, many of which are open to visitors.
