Borratella is a spacious Chianti holiday home, ideal for a large family
or a group of friends. This house offers total privacy: it is entirely
surrounded by the vineyards of the eponymous organic winery and
woodlands, with no other houses nearby. The expansive property is
fenced, allowing guests to fully enjoy the peaceful Tuscan landscape
undisturbed. A special highlight: the guests of the holiday home
receive a small complimentary wine and olive oil tasting from the
Borratella winery on a day of their choice.
This villa is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, with easy
access to the region’s famous wineries, castles and villages. Siena,
San Gimignano, Florence and Arezzo are also perfect destinations for
day trips. In Gaiole, just a ten-minute drive away, guests will find
excellent restaurants, small shops and a COOP supermarket.
Borratella is set in a peaceful, rural location, surrounded by a large
garden with manicured lawns. The spacious pool offers stunning views
over the Tuscan countryside and invites guests to relax. A furnished
loggia with a dining table is perfect for shared barbecues, and there
is an additional terrace and seating areas throughout the garden.
The restored stone house spans three floors, with a living area on each
level. A separate annex on the ground floor, with a bedroom and private
bathroom, can be accessed via the garden or an external staircase,
making it ideal for guests seeking extra privacy.
The interiors are high quality and traditionally Tuscan, featuring
terracotta floors, exposed stone walls, high wooden beam ceilings and
selected antique furnishings.
The property manager is available every day at the winery to assist
guests and provide local tips.

About the area
Siena, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a medieval city that captivates visitors with its timeless charm and rich cultural heritage. Known for its picturesque streets, stunning architecture, and vibrant local traditions, Siena is a treasure trove of history and beauty.
The city's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is dominated by the famous Piazza del Campo, one of Europe's greatest medieval squares. The piazza is renowned for hosting the Palio di Siena, a historic horse race that takes place twice a year and is an explosion of color, passion, and pageantry. The surrounding buildings, with their Gothic architecture, provide a stunning backdrop to the festivities.
At the square's edge stands the Palazzo Pubblico, Siena's town hall, which houses the Museo Civico. Here, visitors can admire some of the most important frescoes of the 14th century, including Ambrogio Lorenzetti's "Allegory of Good and Bad Government." The adjacent Torre del Mangia offers breathtaking views of the city and the Tuscan countryside for those willing to climb its 400 steps.
The Duomo di Siena, or Siena Cathedral, is another architectural marvel. This striking example of Italian Gothic architecture is adorned with intricate marble mosaics and houses an impressive collection of art, including works by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Bernini. The cathedral's Piccolomini Library, with its vibrant frescoes by Pinturicchio, is a highlight not to be missed.
Siena's narrow streets and hidden courtyards are perfect for leisurely exploration. The city's historic contrade, or districts, each with its own emblem and colors, add to the sense of community and tradition that is palpable throughout the city.
For those interested in gastronomy, Siena offers a delightful array of local specialties. Visitors can savor traditional Tuscan dishes such as pici pasta, ribollita soup, and the sweet panforte, a dense, spiced fruitcake that is a Sienese staple. The surrounding region is also famous for its Chianti wines, which can be enjoyed in the many enotecas and wine bars scattered throughout the city.
Beyond its historical and culinary offerings, Siena is also a gateway to the Tuscan countryside, with its rolling hills, vineyards, and charming hilltop towns. A short drive from the city, visitors can immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the Tuscan landscape, which has inspired artists and travelers for centuries.
In essence, Siena is a city that embodies the soul of Tuscany, offering a rich tapestry of art, history, tradition, and natural beauty that makes it an unforgettable destination for travelers from around the world.
