Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and woods, the old farm Casale di Cellole sits on one of the many hills of the Chianti region near Siena. The restored property features five individual holiday rentals: two converted barn with open rooms spread out over several floors, as well as three apartments in the main house (where the owner also lives). All five combine historical features with contemporary comfort and rustic ambience with modern designs. Open, light and airy rooms extend over several storeys, with contrasts so well attuned to one another that they blen into a harmonious whole, yet without loosing their identity: antique terracotta tiles and rough cement floors; vintage furniture and modern designer lamps; light exposed stone walls and dark steel; white-painted beams and tastefully positioned, brightly coloured accents. Each unit has a private entrance, beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and a private garden and outdoor patio. All guests have access to the pool – an ancient cistern – in the spacious garden.
What to do
Tour the Chianti region, the Orcia - valley (UNESCO site) and the Crete Senesi; Siena is just around the corner (the Palio, the famous horse race takes place 2nd of July and 16th of August), Arezzo (1h), Florence (1h), San Gimignano (40 min).
