External Description
Villa la Pecine, an ancient mill on the Pecine stream from which it takes its name, stands in a sunny valley in the heart of the Chianti Classico countryside. It is surrounded by the lush woods of Lucignano and Monti, just a short walk from the enchanting village of Gaiole.
Surrounded by centuries-old oaks, majestic cypresses, and orderly rows of vineyards, the property offers a large private garden, an oasis of greenery with soft lawns and colorful borders of roses, hydrangeas, and fragrant aromatic plants.
In the garden, you will find two inviting outdoor dining areas with umbrella and barbecue, perfect for enjoying pleasant convivial moments under the Tuscan sky and making the most of summer.
The outdoor spaces are enhanced by a beautiful saltwater infinity pool (12 x 6 m, depth from 1.50 to 2.50 m), surrounded by an elegant solarium paved in local Chianti stone, an ideal spot to sunbathe or cool off with a refreshing swim. The pool, open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, is equipped with comfortable loungers, an umbrella, and a solar shower.
At the back of the villa, a private uncovered parking area can comfortably accommodate up to 4 cars.

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.
