Villa Agosto - Siena Italy
Vacation Rental
Minutes from Siena, yet nestled in the
verdant Chianti Tuscan countryside, this Tuscany
villa rental is offers peace, vistas across
the vine- and olive-covered hills, first-class
comfort, and a large pool to complete your vacation.
This lovely villa complex is nestled in the
Chianti producing hills, yet is within the
boundaries of the historic city of Siena. Views
across vines and olive trees to medieval,
fortified properties and the Tuscan hills tempt you to wander.
The first class comfort of the accommodations,
large pool, and well-tended grounds invite you to
relax.
It is ideal for weekly and longer vacations
because of the comfort and quality of the
accommodations, as well as proximity to the
treasures of Tuscany. Drive, bike, or walk to
explore far and near.
Five kilometers, 3 miles from Siena, it is an hour's
drive to Florence, and close to dozens of hill
towns of Tuscany each with their own charm, local
wine, and olive oil specialty.
The large, open pool and well-tended gardens
welcome you home in Tuscany. The villa property
produces grapes, olives, apples, cherries,
apricots, and persimmons. All are gathered by
hand, so harvest time is interesting but not
noisy. Feel free to pick for your own
consumption.
Recently restored apartments and cottages
feature traditional, wood beamed ceilings, exposed
structural stone arches, and cool, red "cotto"
terracotta floors. The owner's (who lives on the
property) passion is
decorating and collecting antiques, so each
apartment or cottage surrounds you with beauty and
offers several gorgeous antiques from, usually,
the 1700's (settecento) for you to appreciate.
Restaurants, markets, and a supermarket are
five minutes away.
We have personally inspected this property. Our
evaluation is:
- First class, clean, comfortable, spacious
apartments & cottages
- Cordial and accommodating owners
- The antiques are wonderful
- View of countryside
- Walk out your door into the countryside to
explore
- Quiet location
- Not total isolation, however; pool and
grounds are shared, but not with a mob
- Associated with a nearby hotel that offers
tennis courts
