About this property

Gated Private Estate🏡 San Felice Adjacent 🌈Classic Views, 🍇Vineyards

Private residence of an American owner, made available to guests certain periods from May through October. A gated and private single-family home recently renovated with all modern conveniences, set strategically in the prime countryside of the Chianti hills to the northeast of Siena and just south of Florence. Set securely behind gates atop a private access road, enter a comfortable and superior-styled vacation home in the prime historic and most central area of Tuscany's Chianti Classico region.

"LaChiusa-in-Chianti"⚜️The name means “The Gathering Place”. With no adjacent neighbors, parts of this classic home dates to 1500's. Nestled in olive groves with wide views of rolling 'Chianti Classico' vineyards, it is within a short walk to a tiny ancient village boasting three very fine restaurants.

A professionally equipped kitchen and multiple large outdoor living and dining spaces are two of the premiere features of the estate property. Easy access from Rome, Florence, or Pisa make this a perfect choice for your stay in Tuscany.

Dreamliner Views overlook groomed Sangiovese & Merlot vineyards through to the rolling hills of the Chianti region.

The residence is on three levels, all air-conditioned, with the main entry and living spaces separating upper and lower suites of two bedrooms suites each. The layout is perfect for two couples, “throuples”, extended family or friends, as the two suites remain autonomous and distinctly private. As there are open staircases, it is not appropriate for young children. Suggested occupancy is limited to four guests, though exceptions may be made.

The entire property is secured behind electric gates. The pool, house, and grounds are not shared with any other guests and are quite suitable for au-natural sunbathing provided you are not traveling with your in-laws 🙈🍑🍆😊. Included are a stocked kitchen and dry pantry, linens, Wifi, Alexa Music, a Security System.

'Vineyard View Suite': Two adjacent bedrooms with one en-suite bathroom. Double Bedroom along with Single Bedroom, private entrance, view terraces, bathroom with tub+shower. There is a cozy reading nook / window-seat in the double room.

'Garden View Suite': Two adjoining bedrooms with one large en-suite travertine bathroom. This suite consists of a carved chestnut-wood 17th c. double bedroom, private entrance with view terrace, a French-Empire single-bed sitting room, travertine Bathroom, antique claw-foot iron tub and large walk-in shower.

The entire property is furnished with fine hardwood antiques and authentic decor sourced from throughout Europe. Pressed Italian bed linens and plush towels are provided.

The main entrance floor consists of an updated cook's kitchen with high-end appliances, dining salon, living room, powder room, your own 'piazza' and rambling view terraces with outdoor fireplace/BBQ. Exquisite Privacy (see reviews📝) with hiking trails, olive groves, and vineyards surrounding the estate. A private pool situated overlooking the property features breathtaking views to the distant hills of Montalcino.

The estate is just minutes from the charming small village of Castelnuovo Berardenga and is within close walking or biking proximity to renowned Tuscan Hill Towns. Florence is about an hour and twenty minutes, Rome just under three hours.  Siena is twenty minutes away. Reached easily by car are towns such as Montalcino, Arezzo, Greve-in-Chianti, Castellina-in-Chianti, Cortona, Assisi.
White-sand tuscan beaches of the Maremma or fishing villages of the Cinque Terra are 2 to 4 hours away.

RECENT GUEST REVIEW:
"We haven't even been here at the villa for more than 10 hours and I am already in love! This is seriously a piece of heaven on earth. You have managed to make this the best villa that we have ever stayed at and we have traveled the world. This villa is so welcoming and level of taste is beyond expectations. This is definitely the highlight of our trip to Italy over the past 2 1/2 weeks. You have captured Italy beter than an Italian, the decor is PERFECT! I love the art to the bedding and robes to the extra-special touches included that are not done without appreciation on our end. Thank you so much for letting us stay here and enjoy your marvelous home. We will be back. Like I stated, haven't even been here a day yet and we LOVE IT!

Thank you again for sharing your beautiful villa with us".

Top Dream Villa in Tuscany
This was our first experience staying at a VRBO and we definitley picked a winner! From the moment you arrive you realize this is what you always imagined Tuscany would be! Michael has thought of everything. His home is exquisite! We were traveling with another couple and stayed for seven nights. We sat outside every evening in the the beautiful courtyard surrounded by vineyards. The property is perfectly located in the middle of Tuscany. We hired Stefano a driver/guide that Michael recommended. He drove us to a winery in the Montalcino region and to a great farm to table restaurant for lunch, a great start to our week. On another day we visited Antinori vineyards for a great lunch and tour! We had three fabulous dinners at Osteria alla Villa where the owner Rudolfo, his wife Angela and server Danelli took very good care of us with fabulous food and wine! The restaurant is located close by in the town of Villa A Sesta. It was a wonderful experience and we cant thank Micheal enough for sharing his beautiful home with us.

Great vacation home in Tuscany
We had an amazing time at Michael's villa in Tuscany. Upon arrival we were greeted by Maria and served a home cooked Italian meal with fantastic wine. The location was perfect, centrally located to travel north to Florence as well as south to Val D'Orcia and Montepulciano. But even in our backyard of Villa a Sesta there were TWO Michelin one star restaurants literally walking distance way. We ate at Del 30 (which Michael set up for us) and was excellent--served by the owner and head chef. The house had all the amenities we needed with a idyllic views of vineyards as far as the eye can see. Highly recommend! Would definitely stay again.

If you're looking for a place to relax, enjoy wonderful food and wine, this is the place. The home is charming, the countryside beautiful, food and wine were low cost and fantastic. Close to Siena and only about 1.5 hour drive from Florence. We highly recommend this place.

Idyllic Slice of La Dolce Vita
Tough to capture all of the things we loved about Michael’s property…. It started with the timely and accurate communications leading up to our arrival, ensuring we knew how to arrive and access the property. Upon meeting us there, Michael was the consummate host and had several local delicacies available for us to eat/drink. I won’t spoil it for others, but wow…. What a treat! After a thorough tour of the place, showing us how everything worked, we enjoyed spending a few minutes getting to know Michael and his vision for the property. He slipped away and we began a week in heaven…. So perfectly located in the heart of Tuscany. Our day trips to Siena, Florence, San Quirico and several other towns were amazing. Three Michelin starred restaurants within 2 km (AMAZING food…). Beautiful scenic drives, castles, vineyards everything so conveniently located nearby but TOTALLY private while at La Chiusa. We truly cannot wait to come back. Michael - Thank you so very much for sharing your place with us…. Ciao!!!

Tuscan splendor
Our stay was beyond lovely - the house was the perfect mix of comfort and beauty. It felt larger than in the pictures and the outdoor spaces were especially spectacular. Michael was helpful with recommendations and we had everything we needed to cook and enjoy ourselves outdoors. The location was great - minutes from two lovely towns with amazing restaurants and 1/2 hour from Siena - all while being at the pool or outside on the patio felt totally private and secluded. Would come return in a heartbeat.
