Rent Villa Capannole Italy

You’ll be seeing double when you stay in Villa Capannole, made up of two original stone farmhouses, nestled in the heart of the Chianti countryside, in Tuscany, Italy.

Together there is a total of nine spacious bedrooms and eight bathrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to twenty guests, ideal for a fabulous family holiday, or a large group of friends. The houses are part of an organic farm, and have been recently renovated with meticulous attention to detail. The villa has retained its cool stone floors, natural arched halls, and wood timbered ceilings. The interiors are furnished in classic country house style, and stylishly decorated with original antiques and artefacts. Villa Capannole comes with all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, heating for those cooler months, satellite television for your entertainment, and parking for up to ten cars.

Step out into the extensive grounds and gardens, where you can take a swim in the private pool, surrounded by relaxing sun loungers and shady parasols. Cool off under the outdoor shower with built-in foot spa. Take a walk around the gardens and visit the organic farm for fruit and veg for supper.
