Casa Virginia
Location address: San Sano - Gaiole in Chianti - Siena
This charming villa was originally a barn with dovecote, which has been restored and converted into a comfortable three bedroom home by the owners. It is set in its own large private grounds with far reaching views over the surrounding Tuscan countryside, yet is only a short walk into the centre of the popular village of San Sano.
Situated to the rear of the property on a lower terrace is the large swimming pool. It has a paved surround furnished with sun loungers, parasol, tables and chairs. Relaxing by the pool you have a fantastic view over the beautiful Tuscan countryside and the garden.
The main entrance is via the covered terrace which leads into the hallway. To the right stairs lead up to the first floor, to the left is a small seating area and the owner's storage cupboard.
An archway opens into the lounge dining area which has the traditional wooden dining table and chairs for six people. Comfortable armchairs are arranged in front of the large open decorative fireplace. To the left are some stairs leading down to the living room which has large windows on the three external walls giving the room a bright feel with great views.
From the dining area a short corridor takes you to the two ground floor main bedrooms and bathrooms. The bedrooms to the right has a double bed with wardrobe and a bathroom with shower opposite, the bedroom to the left is a similar size but has larger bathroom with shower.
The simple country style kitchen is off the lounge/dining area and has an oven with gas hobs, fridge/freezer and microwave. A further door from the kitchen opens onto a terrace furnished with table and chairs, from here you have views over the gardens and the surrounding countryside. There are steps down into the garden, at the bottom of which is a brick built barbeque and pizza oven.
The first floor small bedroom (pink bedroom) has a double bed with a wardrobe, there is a bathroom located opposite the bedroom and has a shower, basin and WC. All bedrooms have free standing fans. Please note the stairs to the first floor are quite steep and would not be suitable for young children.
Outside the large fenced garden wraps itself around the property and is completely private with an olive grove and a small vineyard as well as open grassed areas with brightly planted terracotta urns dotted around. The medieval village of San Sano is only a short stroll away and here there is a restaurant, a small grocery store and a church.
Set in large private grounds, yet only a short stroll into the centre of the village of San Sano.

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? das schöne Haus und der tolle pool
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? einmalig
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Am Anfang hatten wir Probleme mit dem TV, kein richtiger Empfang. Das ausgerechnet während der Fussball WM. Alle haben sich aber sehr darum bemüht, die Sache in Ordnung zu bringen, was auch zum Erfolg führte. Der Eigentümer selbst hat sich enorm dafür eingesetzt.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Für die Handhabung des Fernseh Apparates sollte eine Checkliste vorhanden sein.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
