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.

Located within short walking distance of the property in the tiny ancient village of 'Villa-a-Sesta' are three excellent restaurants offering a range of dining opportunities.

Payment may be negotiated in USD or Euro.

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.

The property is better than described. Michael's attention to detail are on full display within the property and throughout our stay. During our stay we had constant access to our host with information and making sure everything was to our complete satisfaction. This centrally located property is a must stay if traveling in the region. We look forward to our next visit where we will stay here again!

This property is amazing. Six of us stayed here comfortably. It was easy to find and central to so many of Tuscany's beautiful towns and cities. Michael is an incredible host and always available for any questions. We recommend this villa to anyone that is interested in ensuring their visit to Tuscany is first rate. Well done.

Perfection!!!!
I don't know where to begin, as it is difficult to describe the countless extra fine details that make this luxury villa the highest standard for all luxury vacation rental properties should be judged...from the thoughtfully filled fridge, the welcome basket, the freedom to use and enjoy everything and even the small packet of fireworks for our kids to celebrate July 4th.....just to name a few. The patio, the location, the comfort, the coziness, the privacy, the pool, the decor, the recommendations, the kitchen, the patio again, the details again - WOW! A note to potential future renters......if you are fortunate enough to come across this listing while looking for a place to stay in Tuscany. Stop looking. You will not find better. Thank you for allowing us to stay and experience Tuscany.

Stress free luxury.
Everything was just as advertised, if not better. The house is in a picture book location and was very comfortable for the 7 of us. Michael was a very responsive and attentive host who was happy to help us with everything, including restaurant recommendations and reservations. Our 6 year olds loved the house, the pool and the cats. Michael introduced us to Stefano, who we hired to pick us up from the airport and drive us around throughout our stay. We highly recommend this as it saved us from stressing about directions, parking etc and allowed us to have an extra glass of wine at lunchtimes. A wonderful trip from start to finish.

The place is even more beautiful than the pictures and exceeded our expectations. Michael was the perfect host - he helped us arrange catered dinners, provided lots of local recommendations and was very responsive to any questions.

Just perfect!
Six of us (including a 7 and 8 year old) stayed at this villa and it was absolutely amazing. We had Emily come out and cook and serve dinner our first night and it was nothing short of magical. The property is very well kept and furnished. The bathrooms and kitchen are modern and had all of the amenities us Chicagoans would desire. The location was close enough to the hill towns to easily go in for dinner or site seeing but far enough away to feel like you're in your own, secluded Tuscan estate. The view was absolutely breath taking. I'm recommending this beautiful property to all of my friends!

This property and Villa is absolutely beautiful. A perfect example of what Tuscany is all about.
Michael was so welcoming and very attentive to our needs. He was so helpful to our group. This Villa is absolutely gorgeous as well as the property. I have never seen anything like it. If you want to experience Tuscany this is the place to go.
