Tucked into the rolling hills between Florence and Siena, Villa Monica is Tuscany at its finest. Think silvery olive groves and sun-drenched vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see all just a short distance from the hilltop village of Castellina in Chianti.
Part of an organic boutique winery, this elegant retreat offers guests a true taste of la dolce vita, including a complimentary tour and tasting at the owner’s winery in Panzano in Chianti. With the vines quite literally on your doorstep, you’ll have a front-row seat to some of Chianti’s most captivating scenery yet complete peace and privacy are assured.
Inside, Villa Monica is a masterclass in understated Italian style. Traditional Tuscan character meets contemporary comfort, with spacious living areas, carefully curated furnishings and cool, airy bedrooms. It’s an effortless setting for relaxed gatherings with family or friends, whether you’re celebrating something special or simply enjoying time together.
Outdoors, days unfold at an unhurried pace. Stretch out beside the 12m x 4m heated pool, linger over long lunches beneath shaded terraces, or wander through beautifully landscaped gardens. There’s even a bocce court and a gym for those who like to balance indulgence with a little activity.
The villa sleeps up to eight guests in the main house, with a further two accommodated in a charming separate annexe ideal for grandparents, teenagers or anyone who appreciates a little extra privacy. Smaller groups of four or six can also be welcomed on request, with preferred bedrooms selected on arrival.
This is the Tuscan dream, wrapped in sunshine and vineyard views. Your holiday starts here.
