VILLA AGATA

VILLA AGATA

Sleeps 14
Bedrooms 5, Bathrooms 6
Siena – Chianti – Tuscany, Italy

Located atop a hill in Gaiole in Chianti in an area rated by Forbes magazine as the most idyllic in Europe sits this villa was completed in 2009, with 360-degree views, two hectares of gardens, and an infinity edge pool. The Villa offers a fresh perspective on Tuscan living. The four hundred-year-old farmhouse has been restored to the highest standards of design and green-friendly principles.

Today an expansive and luxurious family home, fusing together the best Italian style and craftsmanship with contemporary decor, the house is an open plan with an abundance of light, exposed stone, original wooden beams, travertine flooring, contemporary furniture, and modern art.
For families, the pool has a remote-controlled safety cover to protect little ones, plus there are toys, games, books, films, and endless sleeping and feeding equipment. For the eco-conscientious, energy is derived from solar panels, wood powers the under-floor heating, and collected rainfall waters the immaculate lawns.

The home design approached with research in the historical context, resulting in a new-classic style with the quality washed wooden boards and resin floors. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings lend a rustic feel to the interiors. Aesthetically, the house recalls traditional typologies — for instance, the garden with a vista over the extraordinary terroir — as well as traditional materials including locally sourced stone. A contemporary influence, however, was the decision to include international-hotel-style kitchen and living areas. The villa is designed for total relaxation and ease. For families, the pool has a remote-controlled safety cover to protect little ones, plus there are toys, games, books, films, and endless sleeping and feeding equipment.

For sightseers, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, and other beautiful places are on the doorstep. For those who love eating and drinking, an endless choice of restaurants, in-house dining, or visiting nearby wine estates await. Contemporary yet very comfortable, this is a chic retreat full of light and a welcoming vibe, blending traditional and modern Architecture.
