About this property

PRIVATE VILLA IN THE HEART OF CHIANTI with pools and stunning views

The Piaggione of Serravalle, at a glance, appears as a gem naturally cast on the highest ridges of the Chianti hills of Central Tuscany, and as a jewel it shines with its authentic flavors, ancient traditions and silent stillness.
Shaded and enclosed by oak woods and shrouded by the greenery of its olive trees and vineyards, it mingles within the horizons of the grandeur of the Tuscan countryside that is still genuine and remarkably unspoiled. The structure of Piaggione consists of two spacious apartments, one with four, the other, three bedrooms and a separate two bedroom cottage. Among these, the Loggia, which houses a wellness center embellished by an exotic touch. On the top floor of a spa tub and an infrared sauna, and accessing via a staircase, you will approach a somewhat hidden room used for massages and turkish baths on the bottom floor.
At Piaggione of Serravalle you will discover The Loggia, a small wellness paradise. Created from the predilection of the family for aesthetics, health and body care, La Loggia, with its large windows, treasures the most precious secrets for a complete physical and mental relaxation. You can let yourself go under soothing hot water or 37 ° C of the indoor hot tub. Alternatively, you can be enveloped by the warm therapeutic infrared sauna, until it reaches the adjustable temperatures up to 65 ° C. In between sessions, you can relax on our ergonomic lounge chairs, underneath the beautiful orchids and tropical plants. Descending the stone steps from La Loggia you will access the hammam area, inspired by the most renowned spas of the Etruscans and the Romans, and a room entirely dedicated to the art of massage, with a comfortable shower and the glittering mosaics of the Turkish bath. The steam bath along with the chromotherapy and aromatherapy, as well as being beneficial to the skin and respiratory system, contributes to the proper relaxation of the mind and body.
The Loggia del Piaggione has a very unique feature: it's a spa area that we let on request so that you can enjoy it privately in the company of friends or family.

We offer the following treatments
 
Hot tub with Jacuzzi 36/37 ° C: Being within the panoramic Loggia, it's always available with cooler outside temperatures or at nighttime: you will be immersed in nature and protected by the large panoramic windows and can be comfortably used by four people, .
Infrared Sauna: Very beneficial for your body, but without the side effects of a traditional sauna, the operating temperature ranges from 45 to 60 ° C and can be used by everyone.
Turkish Bath: The Turkish bath is a steam bath at 35-38 ° C. The ambiance decorated with mosaics is equipped with all comforts, a chromotherapy light, a small fountain to refresh your wrists and your face and a hand shower to cool the lower limbs. Ten minutes are required for your skin and the respiratory tracts to gain great benefit, then, before repeating the session we recommend a warm shower. During or after the treatment you can relax in the lodge or in the small garden reserved for wellness from where you can comfortably access the pool area outside.
Massage:
 In the wellness area is a comfortable lounge for massages that will favor your complete relaxation.
On appointment, a specialist will be at your disposal to provide you with a massage: ayurveda, relaxation, reflexology etc. If you want to take advantage of these treatments, we recommend contacting us before arrival.

On the outside you are welcomed by a splendid swimming pool that plunges down the lush valleys and, between sprouts of fragrant shrubs, built in the rocks, a jacuzzi tub that is surmounted by a spurt of hot water. Small paths and stone steps cut into the gardens that slope down the valley, designing silent hidden nooks that make its way through the forests. In this enchanting setting, stand out the modern sculptures of famous Alberto Inglesi artist who will accompany your quaint countryside strolls and hikes. If your desire is to rediscover the spontaneousness of life, the Piaggione of Serravalle is the place to be, to relax and immerse yourself in the magnificence of a Tuscan setting blessed by serenity and silence.
The Piaggione of Serravalle is a lively farm that is in constant action and that brings forth its daily activities that are carried out in order to achieve a balance of eco-friendly status that is rational and respectful of the rules that prevail in nature and that characterizes its existence in every detail. Plants and animals, placed at the center of activities, have always been treated like human beings and therefore have the best care and attention to undergo the strictest quality controls that strive for excellence as well as for superb genuineness. The seasonal cycle of activities, therefore, commences in spring with the most suitable positioning of the plants, sowing the seeds and the maintenance of gardens, vineyards and olive groves. During the summer we proceed mainly with the picking of fruits and vegetables, and then we begin to feed the food for the winter and start collecting the wood for the colder months. Autumn, however, is the most busy period since we deal first with the grape harvest and later with the olive picking. We also start all the various processes for the production of wine and oil, the squeezing and pressing and we also collect the wild fruits from our forests, traditionally considered to be one of the bases that characterize our local cuisine. During the winter, with the arrival of the frosts we end our labors but we also have to start preparing the land for the new year to come and we have time to devote ourselves to more domestic chores. Of course we always have our farm animals to look after. The food processing is challenging and goes hand in hand with the local tradition, to sustain the authenticity of ancient flavors and discover new ones, thus giving the opportunity to gourmet fanatics to acquire the most authentic recipes, the methods of cultivation and preservation. The culinary skills of Camilla, combined with the hard work of Alberto, will allow you to take advantage of the exquisite cold meats, salamis, bruschette and cheeses produced on the farm and we will be honored to prepare you memorable full course meals with traditional dishes , accompanied by Chianti DOC and DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil; all obviously of our own produce and of course our products can be purchased directly on the farm. Camilla also offers its services as a professional tour guide, organizing trips and excursions all over Siena and its territory and enriching them with detailed descriptions and explanations. Albert, instead, offers his own experience and skills in the arts by offering sculpture and painting classes. Among the various projects under construction, Piaggione will be able to offer cooking classes as well as organizing educational strolls along the paths of the vegetable gardens. Also at a stone throw from Piaggione has recently been established a horseback riding center with a full range of activities related to equestrian trekking through the ancient roads of the Chianti hills.

Authentic grand style with homely feel
Camilla has created a real gem with a very grand proportioned home which felt intimate and peaceful. We had both apartments which linked together created a lot of discs for our 2 families with 4 young active boys. The setting was simply stunning and I haven’t experienced that much peace for a long time. Highly recommended

Wonderful Character Lodging Set In Stunning Scenery
What can I say. Everything about our stay was top class. Very comfortable accommodation, superb food and wine all capped off by the most beautiful setting. Tranquility abounded. Within easy reach of Siena, Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti, San Gimignano and even Florence. The friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts was very much appreciated. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Amazing Tuscan Holiday!
We stayed in the Main House from May 6 - May 13 (7 bedrooms, 4 baths). We can't imagine a better home base for our Tuscan holiday. Alberto and Camilla were excellent and accommodating hosts from the time we booked until our departure. We were a group of 10 - 6 adults and 4 children. The house was clean and eclectic - and was stocked with everything we needed (including very nice "pack-n-plays" for the two year olds in our group). The view from the upper terrace was absolutely amazing and we spent much of our time there relaxing and enjoying the view of the Tuscan hills. We had arranged the welcome dinner our first night and it was served by Alberto and Camilla - this was one of our best meals in Tuscany - with the highlight being the wild boar pasta (delicious!). We also enjoyed the pizza night prepared in the outdoor wood burning pizza oven. Every pizza that came out was better than the last and ended with a Nutella pizza that was a huge hit with the kids. Both meals included Prosecco and Alberto's Chianti. This is a beautiful region of Tuscany, but more rugged than areas of south of Siena where more rolling hills are the norm. You will often find yourself on gravel roads, but once you embrace this, you come to realize that this is the place to be for a more "authentic" Tuscan experience. Another of our best meals was right down the hill in the town of Vagliagli - La Taverna. While we did day trips to Siena, Florence and San Gimignano, our best days were when we stayed closer to "home" and visited Radda in Chianti and Castellina in Chianti. This was such an enjoyable week and we already miss our "house" in Chianti. For other travelers out there - a few tips or answers to questions we had - use GPS - yes, the house is at the end of a long, gravel road down a hill; there is a European-style wash machine (use YouTube videos to figure out how to operate if you are unfamiliar); plumbing is different - you can't use the shower and tub or wash machine at the same time and expect hot water - this is part of the charm; as with most pools in Europe, they are not heated, so May is a bit chilly for a swim; the home is well equipped with cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes, wine glasses, etc. There is an American-style coffee maker, but we preferred to use the stovetop Moka pot. There was coffee and sugar in the house, as well as ample spices. We found the best grocery store was the large Coop in Siena, just outside of the city (no gravel road required). Enjoy!
