Villa Raggiola

Set among the rolling Chianti hills, Villa Raggiola is a beautifully restored Tuscan retreat with sweeping vineyard views, elegant interiors, and generous outdoor living. This six-bedroom estate blends rustic character with modern comfort, offering a relaxing yet well-connected escape just minutes from the medieval village of San Donato in Poggio. Inside, the villa is spread across the main house, a private apartment, and two independent annexes, making it ideal for families or groups who want both togetherness and privacy. Elegant living spaces, professional-grade kitchens, and a balance of traditional beamed ceilings with sleek updates create a home that is as comfortable as it is characterful. Surrounded by a manicured garden, the villa’s highlight is its panoramic infinity pool, where loungers and parasols invite long afternoons of sunshine and relaxation. A shaded dining terrace, barbecue, and outdoor lounge make it easy to live al fresco, while a foosball table and wood-fired pizza oven bring a touch of fun to evenings under the stars. Guests also enjoy exclusive access to the villa’s private wine cellar, a rare opportunity to sample premium Tuscan vintages at their leisure.
