Description

Podere Campi is one of the most unique villas in Tuscany that we offer. A medieval priests house and originally a strategic hilltop watchtower, the villa has endless views of Tuscany's vineyards, olive trees and lush valleys from its grounds. The stone structure is tucked away in the woods with high trees that skirt the gardens offering shady places to play, eat and drink. Yet, the cultural wonders of Siena, San Gimignano and Florence are just a day trip away.

The villa exterior maintains its traditional local aesthetic construction on varying levels. The delightful pool lays on the lower garden terrace, taking a dip you can almost feel that you are merging with the surrounding scenery. The upper terraces are furnished for relaxing aperitifs and candlelit dinners on the cosy dining table under a centuries-old mulberry tree, the perfect place to enjoy the unforgettable Chianti sunsets.



The modern unstated interiors achieve country comfort. The internal dining table is a case in point with its restored wooded table combined with 1930s chairs. The spaces are defined by the doors in brushed oak, worktops and sinks with resin cement finish. The ceilings have a sandblasted finish, the soft furnishings have artistic designer fabrics with colours and patterns of Chianti wines.



There are three buildings. Firstly, the main house where an entrance opens into a large living area, which was once a chapel, with a snug TV room and mezzanine office space, a door to the rear leads to the kitchen and master suite on the ground floor and three comfortable first floor bedrooms. Secondly, the garden suite is detached from the main house by about twenty-five meters, completely underground on three sides, with windows that overlook the nearby Monteluco di Lecchi fortress, it offers guests a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchenette. Thirdly the ancient watchtower is also detached from the main house by about twenty meters, this is the only remaining evidence of the defensive structure that characterised this area, it has been transformed into a romantic suite with a ground floor bathroom and first floor bedroom with far reaching views.



Just like the surrounding Tuscany countryside this villa is enchanting and has been carefully preserved, it was created to enjoy absolute relaxation with family and friends by its owners, a fashionable architect husband and wife team. And that, in itself, is unique.
