RENAIOLA Villa

Independent house obtained from the total restoration of a 12th Century tower near the center of the town of Gaiole in Chianti. Gaiole offers all facilities and restaurants. Radda in Chianti is at 11 kms, the A1 Autostrada is at 19 kms and Siena is at 26 kms. The house is flanked by other houses and it develops in height on two floors. Private ground floor access from the road leads up two steps to a landing with internal staircase opening into the living room.

Up two steps from the living room is a landing. Down two steps from the landing, opposite the living room is the dining room with glass door that opens onto a stone staircase leading up to the apartment's 16 sqm hanging garden with furniture and barbecue.

Up one step from the dining room is the kitchenette that is fully equipped with gas range, oven, fridge with freezer and washingmachine. A door in the kitchenette opens into a service WC. From the landing between the living and dining rooms, a staircase leads to a hall where the sleeping section of the apartment is located.

To the left is a door to a double bedroom. Always to the left and up two steps is a complete bathroom with shower stall and skylight. To the right of the hall and up one step is a second double bedroom (the bed can be separated into twins on request). A door in this bedroom opens into a single bedroom situated under the roof.

The apartment boasts woodbeamed ceilings, cotto floors and some of the original stone walls. It is comfortably and elegantly furnished. A baby cot and a high chair are available. Central heating is charged at Euro 100 per week during heating season. The house is ideal for those who don't want to travel by automobile: Gaiole has a bus system connecting it to Siena, Firenze and Montevarchi.
