5 Bedroom Villa in Gaiole in Chianti

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.
If you are interested in renting the studio or the property as a whole, please check the two following links:

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: We spend a week at Scopetto (7 adults and 4 children) and would recommend it to everyone looking for a secluded getaway with authentic charm and amazing surroundings. The house is quite impressive and has a lot of unique and charming details. Both Marina and Stefano were very helpful and accommodating in every aspect. Be sure to read Marina´s instructions as they are both detailed and valuable - especially when arriving by car. DO NOT underestimate the need for a vehicle with some offroad capability. If you plan on taking your low suspension Porsche, you will NOT reach the house. We recommend a 4X4 or something along those lines. All in all, a great experience which we would happily repeat.

Summary: Situated on a hill deep in the Tuscan woods, if you’re looking for a rustic experience in nature with good proximity to several top sites in the region, this is a great option. Beautiful pool. Solid kitchen. Very private. Don’t underestimate the 2.5km unpaved driveway. In our mid-sized rental car we had wheel spin in several steep sections. The first time you drive it, it feels a bit hairy, by the third time it’s fine, but it did dissuade us from taking a brief hop to the bakery, we only left the house for one real excursion a day. The house is not ideal for kids under 4. There are steep drop-offs right next to the patios. It’s great for older kids: table tennis, big pool, lots of fun to be had. Marina was a responsive host.

Summary: This property was even better than described. Rare to find somewhere as nice on the inside as the outside space. Amazing pool and areas to eat al fresco - plus house is fabulous inside with the best kitchen we've had. The owner was brilliant to deal with - plus Stefano and Betty looked after us well for our stay. Fully recommend but take a car that can handle the bumpy road to the villa - it's well worth the drive.

Summary: We went with a group of friends, and we loved our stay. The pool is beautiful and well kept, and the house has great spaces for lunches and dinners together. There is a beautiful sunset view, and the night sky is riddled with stars. The place is very private and secluded, so to reach it there are a few km of dirt road. Highly recommended to have a 4x4 drive.

Summary: I was looking for a villa that would match my idea of my mother’s dream of Tuscany as the holiday was to celebrate her birthday. I was happy with my choice based on the pictures but was blown away by the actual reality of the place. The house is situated in an ideal location meaning we could go to Florence for the day, Sienna and a few other places. The driveway leading to the property was more of an adventure than a hassle but indeed you do need to make sure your car has good suspension. The house itself was beautiful and appeared authentically Tuscan. Great detail was given to every aspect of the place from furniture to utensils. The house was fresh and clean and presented as an ideal layout for a large family. Another reason I chose this place was for the communal areas of the house and indeed I now have wonderful memories that these areas gave to us. The owner of the property was very helpful from the beginning and answered any questions happily. Many hours were spent by the pool and enjoying the grounds. Sunsets were spent with a glass of Chianti looking into the valley and admiring the view. Wild boars were spotted by a few of us which was exciting. Most definitely a holiday of a lifetime and i’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

Summary: We had a great stay at Gaiole in Chianti. We found it hard to find the property but with the owners directions we found it in the end. There were a couple of problems in the house but the owner made sure everything was taken care of and we were super happy about that. I would definitely recommend this beautiful house to rent for your holidays.

Summary: Scopeto is truly a magical place, tucked away in the hills well away from the beaten track (about 3km from the main road). The house itself is beautifully appointed, and at the same time you feel at home from the moment you walk in. Surrounded by terraces at different levels (crowned by a great pool at the top level) and woods, you can always find a place to be alone or part of a bigger party. Also well placed to explore all that Chianti has to offer: in striking distance of Florence, Siena, Arezzo etc and surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the area with its hill towns, stunning views and very bendy roads that meander up and down the various hills and valleys. Loved every moment of our stay.

Summary: What beautiful place this is! The house is comfotable, clean, well laid out, and a joy to spend time in. Roses drape over the pergola in the outdoor dining space; there are herbs to use for cooking right outside the kitchen. My children played ping pong almost non-stop, except when they were swimming in the pool. The remote setting allow guests to be truly immersed in the beautiful, wild, natural lanscape of Tuscany.
