gelso

The enchanting beauty of the Chianti area represents the scenery of villa Gelso, where you can admire the surroundings vineyards, olive groves and oak forests in an atmosphere of absolute tranquillity. Gelso is situated on only a four kilometres distance from Gaiole in Chianti, which is the heart of the Chianti and the perfect base from which to explore the region’s world-class vineyards.
The architect who dealt with the renovation works has been able to respect the history of the farmhouse preserving stone walls, wooden beams and terracotta floors, integrating it with the comfort of modern, luxurious furnishing. The villa has four bedrooms all with spacious en suite bathrooms, all furnished with the same level of a rustic-chic look. Bright windows open out to the most lived areas during the summer months, and everything remains comfortably ‘gathered’ around the villa; the hibiscus-covered terrace, the pergola facing the panoramic pool and the guest house in the immediate vicinity.
As in the imagination of those who are preparing to visit Tuscany for the first time, from the villa you can view in the hills, hill top villages like Lecchi, and other medieval villages.
In the autumn period the Chianti area offers the best wine tasting experiences; tasting wine in the best wineries in the area. Gaiole, is a charming village with its old centre, which offers true hospitality, in a relaxed atmosphere, attracting visitors with its beautiful castles and gorgeous restaurants.
