Maison de Vacances Gaiole in Chianti

This property is a 300-year-old farmhouse and originally belonged to the Fattoria di Brolio. Situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico and in the immediate vicinity of the famous Castello di Brolio. The property is located in a quiet and idyllic valley surrounded by cypresses and oak woods, behind the house there is a stream, the "Dudda". On the estate there is a holiday home, the Capanna, for two people and a holiday flat, La Loggia, for four people. It is possible to rent both together if you are on holiday with friends or family but want to stay separately. Both accommodations are equipped with a fridge, coffee machine, toaster, satellite TV (German programmes) and garden furniture. The owners also live in this special, harmonious place in the main house on the first floor. The family has a dog named Lucky, four cats, 5 sheep, ducks, geese and chickens that greet you with the crowing of the rooster in the morning, an ideal environment for a moment of peace and quiet and yet "civilisation" is only a few steps away. Heating is available for a fee (charged on a separate meter). A baby cot can be provided for a fee. Please book this in advance. An external laundry room is available. A mobile barbecue can also be provided on request. The accommodation is suitable for families with children. They are not wheelchair accessible and pets are not allowed. Long-term tenants are welcome. Annexe with private terrace This accommodation is a detached former hayloft of 72m² living space with a private terrace and pergola, suitable for a small family with a child (max. 14 years). On the ground floor there is an open, well-equipped kitchen with dining area and wood-burning stove, as well as a large living room with a sofa bed (80 x 200cm).

This accommodation has been furnished with specially hand-woven pieces from our own workshop. It is also possible to add an extra baby cot.
