FAB 5BD DESIGNER VILLA, PRIVATE HEATED POOL & AMAZING VIEWS, TOP SIENA CHIANTI

CLOSE TO 6 UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES - Siena, San Gimignano, Val d'Orcia &Pienza, Florence and Pisa, inside the first certified CO2 “zero emission” province in Europe!
This fabulous home is nestled in the heart of the wonderful Chianti Classico wine hills, between Siena (20 minutes) and Florence (45 minutes). Set in a large private estate with its lawns, an olive grove and forest (377,000 square feet/almost 9 acres/3.5 hectares), villa I Quercioli is perched at 1800 feet/550 meters above sea level and enjoys a mountain top view of the horizon. The exceptionally beautiful ample valley below the villa extends from Siena to San Gimignano and its green hills stretch away as far as the eye can see, encompassing vineyards, cultivated fields, woods and hilltop medieval villages.
The panoramic saline swimming pool - when compared to chlorine systems, water quality in a salt pool is superior in feel, smell and taste - dominates all such valley and is open from May to September, heated upon request at an extra cost, see house rules.
The villa sports the outside appearance of a rural home, while its inside architecture is modern and elegant. I Quercioli has 3 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom and 1 single bedroom, and sleeps 9 adults comfortably, +2 toddlers.
If you dream of spectacular sunsets while sipping a glass of wine near the pool after a day of sightseeing, this is your place.

LOCATION DETAILS
The best itineraries are provided to fully enjoy and appreciate the Province of Siena, the first administrative system in Europe to certify the total abatement of polluting gases gross emissions.
Villa i Quercioli is located 6,2 mi. (10 km) from Castellina in Chianti and 12 mi. (20 km) from Siena.
The nearest grocery is in Vagliagli (where there also is an excellent restaurant where “Letters to Juliet” was filmed), half a mile (1.7 km) away, while Castellina, 15 minutes/6 miles away, is well-provided with cafes, restaurants and excellent stores selling some of the best local products: great wine, fresh pasta and cheeses, a first-rate butcher, excellent ice cream and bakeries (though door-to door freshly baked bread delivery is available upon request) – plus a chemist’s, a petrol station, banks, a post office, and an assortment of small shops highlighting local artisans. Quercegrossa, 3.5 mi. (5.6 km) also has a small supermarket.
Rural Tuscany’s best bits – scenic landscapes, farm-to-table products, renown wineries and picturesque hill towns – make this lovely home a perfect country retreat from which to explore many wonderful destinations: Castellina in Chianti 6, 2 mi. (10 km) Radda 7 mi. (11 km) Panzano 13 mi. (22 km), Monteriggioni 13 mi. (22 km), Badia a Passignano 17 mi. (28 km), Colle val d'Elsa 20 mi. ( 32 km), San Gimignano 28 mi. (45km), Florence 31 mi. (50 km), Volterra 36 mi. (58 km), Pisa 68 mi. ( 110 km), Lucca 75 mi. ( 120 km), the scenic Val d’Orcia : Montalcino 34 mi. (55 km), Pienza 49 mi. (80 km), Cortona 52 mi. (84 km) and of course Siena.
The area of Vagliagli features first-rate restaurants (more in Siena, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano and Florence being also worth the trip) as well as really great wineries, where it is possible to visit to the cellars for fabulous wine tastings.

It is also ideal for walks, bikes and horse-rides (a riding school is a stone's throw away) on the preserved dirt/” white” roads through the breath-taking countryside.

In the summer you can listen to classical music concerts in Siena and its surroundings organized by the Accademia Musicale Chigiana, an international conservatory. The Palio di Siena, a horse race preceded by a pageant in medieval costumes, the Corteo Storico, attracts visitors and spectators from around the world. It is held on July 2 and August 16, and circles the scenic Piazza del Campo for no more than 90 seconds: ten horses and riders, bareback and dressed in medieval outfits, represent ten of the seventeen contrade, or city wards. Attendance is free for viewers standing in the middle of Piazza del Campo (but children must be older than 10!), while seats ranging from simple bleachers to box seats may be had for a price, but sell out long before the day of the race. We shall be glad to provide assistance.


EXTERIORS
A cypresses-lined driveway leads to the property, where areas of lawn shaded by large oaks, strawberry trees, junipers, and cypresses are combined with lavender, rosemary and rose bushes, and paved brick spaces.
A scenic salt water heated pool (15 x 44 feet /4.5 x 13.5 meters) is set on an embankment a few steps down from the living room. The chlorine produced by this electrolytic process is less harsh than the traditional “tri-chlor” pools’ one. It is purer and therefore healthier, does not have a bleach smell, plus is very gentle to skin, hair and swim suits. The water has a softer feel. There is an outdoor rock floor open shower on the pool’s edge, to rinse off before and after swimming, with warm groundwater (non-potable, unlike the indoor tap one).
A fence + 2 self-latching gates prevents use of the pool to unaccompanied children.
A shaded veranda is equipped for outdoor meals next to a patio with a shaded living room. A second meal space on the opposite side, with a porch for al fresco dining has a striking table for 16 with a gigantic olive tree root as its base, and a long table seating 8 persons shaded by an adjacent pergola covered by American vines, where a large hammock is suspended for a relaxing afternoon.
There’s outdoor table tennis, a foosball and a kids’ hut and a small playground with a slide and swings, a few steps down in the olive grove – where excellent olive oil is produced.


INTERIORS


The villa has been lovingly renovated to a very high standard with a brand new kitchen and appliances, air conditioning in every bedroom and lavish fabrics. Large windows flood the rooms with light. The multi-levelled architecture, where antique furniture blends with custom design pieces, creates a cosy, charming and welcoming space- much more of a 'home' than a rental property.
The entrance door leads to an open space with beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The living room and dining room with adjacent kitchen are on slightly split-levels. There is a half-bath near the entrance.


MAIN FLOOR

Dining room with table that seats 10, two French windows and a kitchen pass-through.
Adjoining kitchen fully equipped to cater for large groups (dishwasher, freezer, fridge, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, microwave, etc.)
Spacious living room with a fireplace, a TV and beautiful views of the Siena skyline and the neighbouring villages.
On the upper and lower floors are 5 bedrooms – 4 double (Istrice, Civetta, Giraffa, Chiocciola) and a single (Cavalli), with 4 adjoining bathrooms. A cot can be added in Civetta and Chiocciola.


GROUND FLOOR

- Chiocciola ("snail") – A large double bedroom (queen bed) with 4 windows overlooking the garden above the swimming pool and the porch, with adjoining bathroom (shower) three steps below.
At the bottom of the staircase is a laundry room (also accessible from outside) with a washing machine and an additional fridge and large freezer.


FIRST FLOOR

The upper staircase leads to four bedrooms, with Istrice and Civetta (double beds) on the left, and Giraffa and Cavalli (single beds) on the right.
- Istrice ("porcupine") – A large double bedroom (queen bed) with a French window overlooking the garden and the swimming pool, with adjoining bathroom (walk-in shower).
- Civetta ("owl") – A large double corner bedroom (king bed) with wonderful wooden exposed beams, 2 French windows, one overlooking the garden with the swimming pool and the landscape below, the other the lawn and the hedge above the olive grove, with adjoining bathroom (bathtub).
- Giraffa (“giraffe”) – A small but comfortable double bedroom with 2 single beds (convertible to queen size bed), with wonderful wooden exposed beams, floral wallpaper, a built-in cupboard, and a French window overlooking the lawn and the hedge above the olive grove, with adjoining bathroom (shower).
- Cavalli ("horses") – A single, cosy bedroom, ideal for a teenager, with a French window overlooking the terrace and the olive grove with adjoining bathroom (shower) shared with the Giraffe bedroom.
The villa's attic is reserved for the owner's storage. Proprietors do not live on the premises.

A Dream Come True
A good friend was looking to celebrate her 60th birthday. When asked where her dream destination would be, she immediately said Tuscany. Our party of eight wanted a pool and rooms and bathrooms for each couple. This was a tall order. I was so excited to find this beautiful villa that had not only our must-haves, but so much more. The views are absolutely stunning, the outside eating areas are comfortable and situated throughout the property. Lastly, Gaia, our contact for the property was attentive, patient and incredibly kind. I cannot count the number of times someone remarked at how perfect the villa was. The next time anyone in our group is looking to visit this beautiful area, we will be looking into renting this property again.

Excellent hosts, amazing views and access to restaurants and many Tuscany towns.
Our group of 6 adults stayed at this beautiful property May 2024. If you're comfortable being in a Tuscany location that isn't walkable to restaurants or other services, stay here! You will need a car to visit some of the amazing towns in the vicinity. The host and her daughter provided excellent communication before, during and after our stay. We paid for the pool heating and spent one full day enjoying the house and surrounding area. We made use of Pietro and his team for a dine-in chef experience...delicious food and wine, great to be taken care of. We also hired Roberto Bechi (Tours by Roberto) for a customized full day wine tour and highly recommend that you make use of his services. Excellent knowledge of wine and the area along with a lively personality.

Tuscany at its Best
We stayed here for a week with three other couples. Each of us enjoyed our own bedroom with designated bathroom. This villa is priceless. The owner has maintained the friendly and comfortable vibe of a home. There are books, art, gorgeous memorabilia around the home plus the inviting pool and Tuscan panoramas. Although it is in a rural setting, it is easy to reach Siena and medieval hill towns close by. Gaia and her husband are excellent hosts and we could not have asked for more. We want to thank the owners for allowing us to share their gorgeous home. It is a fantastic place to stay.

Pure Delight
We were a group of 8 female friends (ranging in age from mid 40’s to 60 years old), who’d rented the Villa to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays; we were thrilled with our choice. The Villa is beautiful both inside and out: expansive grounds, stunning views, huge pool, spacious and airy interior, comfortable sleeping and living quarters, and several outdoor seating areas. There was also a delightful hammock. The Villa is in a quiet, secluded area but only a few minutes drive from the quaint village of Vagliagli (we recommend Ristorante Taverna di Vagliagli), and the larger village of Castellina in Chianti (where we rented fiats, at a very fair price, to explore nearby villages/towns/cities). We also thoroughly enjoyed spending a few days lounging around the pool and took advantage of the delivery service offered by Luigi, the local baker (who brought us cake/bread/croissants/pizza slices). Throughout our whole time there (and even before our arrival), Gaia, our host, was always available to answer our questions/offer suggestions/and help in any way she could. She was invaluable. For our last evening, we hired her husband (Maurizio) for a ‘Chef at Home’ experience. The 4 course meal he prepared for us was divine and was made even more special by some pre-dinner appetizers he served, along with a bottle of prosecco. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect send off to our 1-week stay. If you can snag a booking, do it!

Tuscan Perfection!
Our family of 9 stayed at this gorgeous villa for 10 days and it exceeded our hopes and expectations. Five out of five stars hardly seems adequate for the excellence of our experience. We had originally booked this vacation before the pandemic lock down and we are so glad we did not cancel our plans and went as soon as travel opened up again. First, the house! It is spacious, beautiful, well-appointed with all the comforts and amenities of home, and so many ideal areas for us to to hang out, dine in or outside, rest, play, and admire the spectacular views of the Tuscan vista. It was a record heat wave during our stay and the ACs in every room and the pool saved us from the heat and cooling off at the end of an active day. One of our favourite things was to cook at home using the fresh local ingredients and we got to taste what it meant to live like true Italians. The location was perfectly nestled deep within the Tuscan hills and a close 15 minute drive to the nearest little town which had everything we needed including restaurants, banks, pharmacy, grocery, wine & cheese shops and even a bit of shopping. It is an easy drive to nearby towns and cities including Florence, Siena, Montalcino, San Gimignano, Montereggioni to name a few… and we visited all of them! Also, the hosts! Gaia was unbelievable in her communications and helped us to plan and book for the most memorable experiences. Her attention to detail and all her recommendations for restaurants and activities, tips and suggestions were invaluable. It was as if we had a close local friend with deep knowledge and contacts to rely on for the inside track. We had her husband Maurizio, a professional Chef and his son Pietro cater an in-home dinner for us one night on the terrace and it was a magical evening with wonderful food and warm hospitality that every one of us will cherish. The kindness we received from Gaia and her family during our stay left us with deep appreciation and fondness which makes us happy to have the perfect place to come back to as our ‘home’ in Italy. Thank you and warmest regards from the Revells and Millars…until next time!
