About this villa rental
Restored from the ruin of a typical Tuscan farmhouse this Podere sits high on a hilltop at 600 meter above sea-level (which means summer nights are just perfect outside). The Main House sleeps 10 and the Studio (called Capanna) is about 60m away from the Main House and sleeps 2. They can be rented separately or together, a total of 12 guests.
Podere Scopeto overlooks woods, vineyards and the medieval towns of Radda and Castellina. The nearest town is Gaiole (15 min) in the triangle of Siena, Florence and Arezzo. It is in the middle of the Gallo Nero classic wine region with Brolio, Castello Meleto, Coltibuono on your doorstep. We have a large saltwater pool (5m x 14 m) with spacious sun terraces and pergolas which offer our guests boyant relaxation, but for the more energetic there are miles of woods and hills to walk in beyond the 30 privately owned acres surrounding the house. It has a huge BBQ with enough chairs and tables to seat 12-18 comfortably on the three terraces. More secluded hammocks and picnic places are dotted around the property under the shade of our olives and sweet chestnuts. We have reliable crystal clear water from our own well and faultless heating and plumbing system. Our bathrooms are modern and work perfectly and every bed- and bathroom has at least one anti-mosquito screen in a window. 2 fireplaces cheer our winter visitors. From the main road you drive 2 and a half km through the woods on an un-tarmaced road which is not suitable for low-slung vehicles, caravans or bikes but fine for normal cars driven slowly. We are happy to let you stay for the annual 'Eroica' traditional bike-race in October though, which takes place every year in Gaiole.
The Main House sleeps 10 plus a child in a small child's bed which normally serves as a small sofa in one of the bedrooms. If only the farmhouse is rented and not the studio you may find strangers about 60 metres away in the studio who share the pool and parking area with you.

We had a real great time here.It was a group of 8 people and everyone was amazed in total. The landscape, the view, the house, the pool. We could really relax and calm down had great evenings.Marina informed us about everything before an everything was prepared when we arrived.The road was as discribed and after doing it 2 times it was no problem for everyone. We all hope to come here another time! BR Marti

The property is outstanding! Scopeto is a magical place. The house/villa is huge- 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms- 2 en suites. It's well appointed. The property is beautiful and the pool is huge. The owner was so easy to work with. She was very communicative and helpful. I wish I had taken the warnings about the road more seriously. It is hard to convey the difficulty of the driveway/road to the villa. It is barely a road. We had a mid-sized SUV and every time we went in and out it was a mission in survival! The property is ideal for a large group who is looking to R&R in the Chianti countryside. If you plan to site see, visit wineries, etc. I would look for something more centrally located as the roads in Chianti are all small and curvy- taking quite sometime to get to places that seem like they are close by. We will do it differently next time and use our time at Scopeto to just relax and make great meals, taking everything we need on the first drive in!

Place was fantastic. The journey there was not clear (instead of the word document, a statement that it’s near Castelle in Chiantiapartments, would be better). People use Google maps these days, so just need something simple for aim for. The driveway from the Main Street to the property was treacherous/dangerous and needs to be made clear from the property listing about the right vehicle needed (rather than a WhatsApp message after we had already hired our cars). Once we got to the property it was brilliant. The driveway and finding the property were the only things that detracted from how good the property is.

Ein Ferienparadies in dem man sich sofort wie zu hause fühlt!Wir haben uns zur Schlüsselübergabe mit den Vermietern ca. 1 Stunde vor unserem Ziel getroffen. Die sehr freundliche und persönliche Begegnung mit vielen guten Ratschlägen und Tipps hat uns einen perfekten Einstieg für zwei wunderbare Wochen beschert. Wie wir schon vor Antritt der Reise wussten, ist die Zufahrtsstraße nicht unbedingt für Sportwagen oder Rennfahrer geeignet. Normale Familienwagen, mit entsprechender Vorraussicht gelenkt, haben keine Probleme diesen Weg zu befahren. Unser Wagen hat alles ohne Probleme überstanden. Da wir nun schon zum zweiten Mal in Scopeto waren kann ich sagen, dass die Straße ständig verbessert wird. Am Haus angekommen wurden wir von einem liebevoll gepflegten Garten mit blühenden Blumen begrüßt der auch während der Urlaubszeit durch einen Gärtner in bestem Zustand gehalten wurde. Das ganze Grundstück ist mit einem Elektrozaun gegen Wild gesichert der sich automatisch zur Nachtzeit einschaltet und ebenso pünktlich früh am Morgen wieder deaktiviert. Perfekt also für Gäste mit Hunden, die man aus diesem Grund den ganzen Tag sorglos ohne Leine laufen lassen kann. Dass dieser Zaun wichtig ist merkt man spätestens Nachts beim beobachten der Glühwürmchen wenn man im Wald die Wildschweine hört. Das liebevoll gestaltete Grundstück macht einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck. Gleiches gilt für den Pool. Dieser wird ebenfalls einmal in der Woche gründlich gereinigt und überprüft. Jeden Abend wurde Tischtennis gespielt und anschließend gemütlich in den Sonnenuntergang geschaut. Für einen rustikalen Grillabend ist ebenfalls alles vorhanden.Die Kochinsel lud uns des Öfteren zum gemeinsamen Kochen ein. Saubere Schüsseln, Töpfe und alles was man dafür benötigte war genauso vorhanden wie sauberes Geschirr für alle. Der große Kühlschrank bot genug Platz um unsere üppigen Einkäufe kühlen zu können.Die Badezimmer und Toiletten waren sauber und äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet, genau wie alle anderen Räume. Besonders die Schlafzimmer waren so gemütlich dass man morgens gar nicht mehr aus dem Bett wollte. Zweimal in der Woche kommt Marilena vorbei um nach dem Rechten zu sehen, bezieht die Betten, wechselt die Handtücher und entsorgt den Müll.Während unseres Aufenthalts gab es keine nennenswerten Vorkommnisse, abgesehen davon das es für alle eine wundervolle Erholung war. Wenn wir könnten, würden wir sofort wieder losfahren.Leider kann man keine sechs Sterne vergeben.
