Montelodoli Capanna is a beautifully restored former barn, now a charming holiday home for two. Set within a large natural garden, this single-storey stone house offers a quiet and private atmosphere with sweeping views across the rolling hills of the Chianti Classico. A 16-metre-long infinity pool is the highlight of the property, inviting guests to relax in this perfect setting. Though rural in setting, the house is centrally located in the Chianti Classico region, putting all nearby towns, villages, wineries and castles within easy reach. The iconic Castello di Brolio, possibly the most famous of all Chianti castles, is just a ten-minute drive away and offers wine tastings, a restaurant, and a stylish bar. The villages of Monti, with a restaurant, and San Regolo, with a trattoria and a small attached bottega, are just two kilometres away. Gaiole in Chianti, about eleven kilometres from the house, has a small COOP supermarket, cafés, and additional dining options. Siena is only 30 minutes away, and Florence, Arezzo, and San Gimignano are all easy to reach for day trips. Inside, the house delights with a creative blend of vintage elements, Moroccan touches, and carefully selected furnishings. The interior is warm, inviting, and full of personality. The owners live in a separate house on the spacious property with their four friendly dogs and two cats. They are happy to assist guests when needed and occasionally enjoy the pool when it is not in use. They welcome guests’ dogs, but ask that any visiting dogs are friendly with other dogs and comfortable around cats.

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.
