About this property

Palazzo di Chiantina has recently undergone sympathetic restoration, we have made every effort with the selection of the interior furnishings to ensure that they reflect local traditions whilst retain that important element of modern comfort. The vine covered pergola allows you to dine alfresco whilst enjoying the magnificent views. The villa is well located, 4km from the nearest village, Mercatale. Perugia, Cortona and Lake Trasemeno are all within travelling distance. Set in 2 hectares of private land, the gardens and terraces contain a variety of fruit trees, figs, walnuts, plum, almonds, olives and vines and you are welcome to help yourselves to their bounty (in season of course). There is a swimming pool again, with beautiful views and unusually for the area it is heated by solar panels. There is a shaded pergola by the pool with a sofa seating area as well as plenty of sun loungers. The outdoor terrace is covered in vine and wisteria creating a large, shady, scented (in May/June) eating area. Relax and enjoy the divine views, at night you may see the fireflies dancing and you’ll see exactly why the monks chose this spot.

Perfect Family getaway

The views are knockout. The villa has a lovely warm homely feel. Lovely bathrooms and a kitchen with everything you could ever need. Dining out on the terrace was amazing. Outside, the gardens and pool are impeccable and plenty of lounging areas to be found. Quite a steep access road which our little hire car found a challenge so I’d recommend more power than a Fiat Panda. Although we managed fine. Will definitely recommend to large family groups. Perfect getaway to relax and drink in the Umbrian / Tuscan views.

Lovely villa with stunning views

We rented Villa Chiantina for a family reunion, and it was absolutely delightful. We particularly enjoyed the sweeping views across the valley, which changed according to the weather and time of day. Note that the house is remote and the driveway is tricky. The pool is amazing and the fruit trees full of ripe plums and figs. We came with very young children. The owners left us with a crib and 2 high chairs, while we brought 2 folding cots. The girls loved the wide steps into the pool, the swing set and the dollhouse. The parents loved that the pool was a little bit away from the house and that there were different flat play areas both inside and outside. We hired the chef service and Daniela and Alessio were both fabulous! The food was varied and delicious, and what a luxury to be able to relax and enjoy every evening on the terrace after running after little ones all day..! The house has been thoughtfully restored with historic features and modern conveniences, incl a fully equipped kitchen. Bathrooms were great, though lacking anywhere to hang towels. Beds were comfortable, though the wrong size sheets had been put on the king beds and bunched up when slept on. Most of the rooms cooled down at night with cross ventilation, ceiling fans and additional fans gratefully supplied. Unfortunately two rooms with only one window struggled to cool down and could be a bit airless at night. Mosquito screens have been thoughtfully installed on most windows, which was great for a few buggy nights after heavy rainfalls (which had the benefit of bringing down scorching temps). However, in the pigsty there were only netted curtains, which we had to fix down with pins to keep out bugs. The terrace with the shaded pergola is the place where we spent most of our time, whether enjoying meals or the shade, breeze and stunning views. However, a lot of wasps and hornets were drawn to the ripe grapes hanging overhead and scaring the children. Top tip: we asked the house manager Matteo to arrange to have the grapes cut, and within a few days the gardeners came and the problem was reduced dramatically! Matteo himself was an excellent communicator (Italian & English); very responsive and helpful. The cleaning crew came midway through our two weeks and were absolutely lovely. Dealing with Ashleigh in the lead up to our stay was also excellent. All in all would highly recommend!!

Beautiful location. At 750 metres, so views of c 100m to East. Up a 3.5m track/road. Quiet and secluded. Facilities excellent. 5 very well appointed bed rooms and excellent bathrooms. Be aware that 5th is a bunk room with 4 x beds and one sofa bed. Quite acceptable, but slightly pokey, with two small windows. Rubbish has to be taken down to the main road, which is a slight bore. Overall, excellent and very enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Ashleigh Wigley

Il Palazzo di Chiantina has been our family holiday home for 22 years. We have enjoyed many happy holidays with family and friends over many years.

Why they chose this property

Although many properties in the area enjoy spectacular views. Il Palazzo di Chiantina never ceases to impress every first time visitor to the property, it is beautiful with the breathtaking views constantly changing with the varying lights of the day. Stunning!

What makes this property unique

We are blessed with the most wonderful local help. Our gardener Vittorio has developed the garden since we took ownership. He is so proud of his piece of paradise and often picks the produce for our guests. Patrizia our housekeeper is his niece, she is so helpful and always tries to be of every assistance possible. All our guests have always given glowing reports of our wonderful custodians.
I highly recommend Daniela our local cook who is always happy to shop, prepare and clear away, wonderful lovely lunches and dinners. Perfect for a long lunch or supper under the pergola in the heat of the sun!
We can organise more formal dinner parties if required too.....
