Perched high in the scenic Ama hills, Casa dei Mandorli offers a
peaceful retreat for a couple, with sweeping views over a patchwork
valley of olive groves and vineyards stretching to the horizon. The
nearby hamlets of Ama and Casanova di Ama add charm to the landscape,
while the large infinity pool provides a striking focal point for
outdoor living.
The villa is perfectly situated between the hilltop town of Radda in
Chianti and the idyllic village of Lecchi in Chianti, offering a
balance of tranquillity and convenience. Lecchi is home to the
excellent Ristorante Malborghetto and a well-stocked grocery shop,
while Radda offers a wider range of shops, restaurants, and a small
supermarket. Historic landmarks such as Castello di Brolio and several
renowned Chianti Classico wineries are within easy reach. Siena,
Florence, Arezzo, and San Gimignano are also ideal destinations for
memorable day trips.
Built from traditional stone, Casa dei Mandorli blends rustic character
with modern elegance. The beautifully maintained garden includes lawns
and a large terrace set just above the private pool - an ideal spot
for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the views.
Inside, the villa is bright and welcoming, with contemporary
country-style furnishings. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living
area features large arched windows and doors that frame the surrounding
garden and bring the outdoors in.
The discreet owners live in a separate villa above, with two friendly
dogs kept within a fenced area. They are available if needed and offer
helpful local recommendations, contributing to a relaxed and memorable
stay at Casa dei Mandorli.

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.
