LE CHIUSE 1, MONTALCINO, ITALY - TUSCANY
Tucked in among the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, the Le Chiuse 1 is one of our loveliest vacation rentals. An appealing combination of modern furniture and family antiques give it a distinctive look, while wood-beamed ceilings, terra cotta floors and a large, open fireplace add to its rustic charm. The living room, dining room and kitchen are combined in one large room with a window offering a spectacular view of the vineyards. Bedrooms are well appointed and the bathroom was recently remodeled in bright tile.
This vacation rental is set on the Le Chiuse farm and vineyard. The site is surrounded by vineyards and the rolling hills of Tuscany. Next to the swimming pool is a comfortable outdoor seating area that is a favorite spot for guests to gather and relax before dinner, even if they aren't swimming. Bicycles are on site for guests to use, along with a bocce court and ping pong table. Guests may also use the old pizza and bread oven. The owners live off site but stop in to check on their guests, and the farm foreman is present on weekdays. Guests can buy wine, grappa and olive oil on site, including the farm’s own Brunello wine. And an informal gathering with pizza is held each term for guests.
The farm is a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute hike (on a steep trail) up to Montalcino; the trail follows a section of the ancient Via Francigena used in the Middle Ages by pilgrims coming from Northern Europe to Rome. Siena and the Chianti Valley are among many easy day trips.
Other vacation rental properties on this site include Le Chiuse 2, Le Chiuse 3, Le Chiuse 4 and Le Chiuse 5.
