Il Boschetto

Set across the first floor of a large stone farmhouse, this villa in rural Chianti offers comfortable lodgings for six people. The lounge flows through an attractive wide brick arch into a dining room and kitchen to create a convivial open-plan space, with typically Tuscan touches in the terracotta floors and tiled and beamed ceilings. It’s a place where you can easily picture enjoying each other’s company, whether you’re rustling up a meal, relaxing with a good book, or playing a board game with the kids. The luscious views of the surrounding vineyards are best captured from the villa’s generous wraparound terrace. The terrace is very spacious, equipped with a pizza oven and barbecue. Below, in the pretty garden, there’s an inviting private pool with sundeck, the place to while away a few hours soaking up the sun interspersed with refreshing dips. But you’ll want to explore the area, too, and this villa will put you on the doorstep of the market town of Radda and its wineries, and within easy reach of Florence and Siena.
