Photos and Description of this Montepulciano holiday chateau / country house

The 'Aiola' is located in the fertile rural environment of Montepulciano. The house is surrounded by laurel and pine trees as well as cypresses, you can smell the scent of jasmine and observe the twining blossoms of clematis. In the summertime butterflies dance over bushes of lavender. The visitor may relax at various places, e.g. in the small 'paradise garden', in which a pomegranate and a fig tree grow, roses bloom and where a fountain ripples, or on one of the four terraces, from which Montepulciano or San Biagio (Renaissance church) can be seen. The house has been restored and furnished in harmony with the landscape. The furniture has been intentionally chosen for their 'simple' style. The ceilings and floors are made of old terracotta and in the kitchen the original huge fireplace, a long marble table and the old stone sink have been preserved.

The medieval town of Montepulciano is situated on a mountain top of tuff stone, 600 m above sea level. Each summer the popular international music festival “Cantiere” which was brought into being by H. W. Henze some years ago, takes place here over a period of two weeks. The Vino Nobile which matures in the wine cellars under the town is at least as famous. One can take a rest from too much bustle in the thermal baths nearby, which are provided with water from a 'sacred mountain', the Monte Amiata, an extinct volcano. You can reach the historical city center from the Aiola in about 30 minutes on foot. It is a beautiful little walk, passing fiels and gardens as well as the cathedral ´San Biagio´which a major building from the Rennaissance period

Notes: Ecological land cultivation: Solar panels provide electricity for the hot water and heating system. To prevent electric smog, the electric system can be switched off in the bedrooms. The walls and ceilings are unsealed – they thus breathe and were painted with clay and silicate colours. Only ecological products are used for cleaning the house. Also, the garden is cultivated without the use of poisons and it blends well into the developed land of Tuscany. Notes to accommodation 'Aiola': The kitchen is a kitchen-cum-living-room equipped with a dining table for up to 8 persons and an open fireplace. Bathrooms: There is a bathroom on the top floor that has a shower, WC and sink. Another WC is situated on the ground floor, with outside access. There also is an 'indoor pool', i.e. a bathtub in a 65 square metre hall, accessible also from outside. Both, the single WC and single bathtub are without heating.

Further details for this holiday chateau / country house rental in Montepulciano, Italy

History of L´Aiola: It is assumed that the first walls were built three to four hundred years ago and that the building has gotten its present shape after various reconstructions. The Aiola is to be counted as one of the oldest buildings in the vicinity of Montepulciano. Formerly it belonged to the “Podere” (country estates), whose inhabitants had to give half of the yield they produced to their feudal lord, while they could live and work there with their families free of cost (“mezzadria”, mezzo = half). The location of the Aiola combines the vicinity to the historical city with the pleasures of the rural environment. Ther are two farmers nearby where wine and olive oil can be bought.

As regards the arrangement of the garden: The plants were chosen partly on the basis of their kind and intensity of scent. Roses, authentic jasmine, acacias and broom together with resinous cypresses and pine trees spoil the nose and soul of every vacationer. The rigorous landscape of Tuscany is reflected in rows of olive trees passing through the property. A small “fruteto” grows at the back of it with an almond, cherry, peach, apple, Japan plum, pear and plum tree, whose ripe fruit may be enjoyed by the tenants. There are also various herbs and spices which will enrich your meals. A small ´fountain of youth´will refresh you in the hot season, provided there is enough water.

Excursions: Situated between Florence and Rome with Siena, Arezzo and Perugia on the sides, the location of Montepulciano offers much that is of interest, be it medieval city layouts like Perugia, Florentine Renaissance squares or the “Lago di Bolsena” – a crater lake with cool water: all can be reached by car. The closer environment offers thermal baths for cures or sights of architectural interest: e.g. the small Renaissance town of Pienza or the Gothic Siena. Another interesting sight is the holy mountain of Monte Amiata, an extinct vulcano, and the Val d Orca which can be reached in 15 minutes by car.

'Danke, dass wir in Ihrem besonderen Haus herrliche Wochen verbringen konnten: Ein wahrlich goldener Oktober war es. So wie die Nachbarn die Trauben vor unseren Augen geerntet haben, so konnten wir mit unserem Vergnügen an der Küche, an den Zimmern, am Frühstücksplatz vor der Tür oder den verschiedenen Terrassen Gemütlichkeiten ernten; für uns reichlich unverdient, was Sie in den Jahren am Haus und im Garten haben wachsen lassen. Wir sitzen gerade beim Wein des Nachbarn und produzieren Feigenkonfitüre von Ihren Feigenbäumen aus dem Garten; einfach paradiesisch! Nächstes Jahr kommen wir wieder, zu einer anderen Jahreszeit.' Andrea Reichelt aus Hamburg.

Holiday-home Aiola near Montepulciano

Nieko71 Nijmegen, Nederland
Review Submitted: March 5, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
Already more than 20 years I go to Italy for holidays, but never have I been in such a beautiful place, with such a beautiful house.
This place is gorgeous because of its quietude, the panorama and the nearness of splendid small towns (Montepulciano is at just 20 minutes walking-distance) and there are many areas which are great for walking.
The house is really fantastic. It is spacious and nicely furnished. It has a lovely garden, with sunny terraces in it, and places to sit in the shadow. There are pretty statues, and you can find lots of herbs, flowers, plants, fruit-trees, butterflies, dragonflies and birds. A feast for the eye and ear, a good place for relaxing and making pictures.

Vakantiehuis Aiola bij Montepulciano
Al meer dan 20 jaar ga ik in Italie op vakantie, maar nog niet eerder heb ik op zo'n mooie plek in zo'n mooi huis gezeten als afgelopen oktober in l' Aiola ( tuinbed, bloemperk).
Die plek is zo geweldig vanwege de rust, het uitzicht en de nabijheid van prachtige stadjes (20 minuten lopen van Montepulciano) en van schitterende wandelgebieden.
Het huis is werkelijk fantastisch. Enkele decennia geleden is het vakkundig gerestaureerd. Je hebt veel ruimte tot je beschikking en het is bijzonder smaakvol en speels ingericht. Ook om het huis heen is er veel ruimte, met mooie zitjes in de zon en in de schaduw. Je vindt er tal van kruiden, bloemen, planten, fruitbomen, leuke beelden, vlinders, libellen en vogels: een heerlijke plek om te lezen, te schilderen of te fotograferen.

Depuis plus de 20 ans je passe mes vacances en Italie, mais il ne m' est jamais arrivé de visiter une site et une maison si belles que celles à l' Aiola, octobre dernier.
Le calme, la vue, la proximité de petites villes pittoresques (à une distance de 20 minutes à pied de Montepulciano), la belle nature qui envite aux promenades: tout ceci contribue au charme particulier.
La maison est vraiment fantastique. Elle vous offre beaucoup d' espace, ses pièces sont aménagées avec du goût et de légèreté. Le jardin est également spacieuse, vous y trouverez des endroits ombrageux et ensoleillés; vous n'avez qu' à choisir. Il y a de nombreux herbes, des fleures, des plantes, des arbres fruitiers, des statuettes, des papillons, des libellules, des oiseaux... Comment pourrait-on s' immaginer une ambiance plus douce pour la lecture, la peinture artistique ou la photographie?

Ein harmonischer Ort

Ebi Potsdam-Mittelmark
Review Submitted: September 5, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
Seit vielen Jahren kommen wir - manchmal mit Freunden - immer wieder in dieses einmalige Ferienhaus zurück. Die Eigentümer haben die Identität der Aiola als altes Bauernhaus dank des behutsamen Umgangs mit der Bausubstanz bewahren können. Alles an diesem Haus wirkt stimmig und harmonisch, nichts ist übertrieben perfektioniert. Alle notwendigen Eingriffe in die erhaltene Bausubstanz sind auf das Notwendigste beschränkt. Als Architekt spürt man sofort, dass die Eigentümer respektvoll und sensibel mit dem Podere umzugehen verstehen. Der harmonische Eindruck setzt sich im Garten fort, der mit endemischen Pflanzen angelegt wurde und viele geschütze und offene, sonnige und schattige Plätze bietet. Die ruhige Lage mitten im landwirtschaftlichen Umfeld einerseits und die Nähe zu den interessantesten Kulturlandschaften, Orten und Plätzen der südlichen Toskana andererseits ermöglichen einen entspannten und abwechslungsreichen Urlaub. Die Vermieter haben uns immer wieder wertvolle Hinweise zu kulturellen Ereignissen und auch Tipps kulinarischer Art übermittelt. In Zeiten international zunehmend angepasster Standards schätzen wir die Einmaligkeit der Aiola um so mehr. Das Objekt ist sehr treffend beschrieben.

Paradiesgarten

lennard Frankfurt a. M. Hessen
Review Submitted: August 11, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
der Monat Mai kann in der Toscana wunderbaren Lichtzauber schaffen, wenn das Val di Chiana im Wechselspiel von Sonne und Wolken, oder Montepulciano oben auf der Felszinne im hellen Mittagslicht oder im Rot der untergehenden Sonne wie aus einem Block gemeiselt erscheint. Streift dann die Abendsonne die Fassade der hervorragend restaurierten "Aiola" ist das Landhaus wie verzaubert. Innwendig räkeln sich die alten Deckenbalken, fein abgestimmte Kalkfarben an den Wänden geben den Räumen die notwendige Kühle in der heißen Tageszeit. Die Gestaltung des Landhauses und des Gartens hat meiner Seele sehr wohl getan. Hier ist nichts mit dem Richtscheid begradigt, alles scheint von freier Hand geschaffen. Mein bevorzugter Morgens-Platz war die kleine Terrasse unter dem alten Taubenturm, Vor der Mittagshitze fand ich unter dem Feigenbaum im Paradiesgärtchen einen schattigen Platz. Unvergesslich bleiben mir die Sonnenuntergänge und pittoresken Wolkenbilder die ich von der Terrasse neben den ehemaligen Remisen mit Blick bis hinüber nach Montefelonico beobachten konnte. Für abkühlende Badetage fuhr ich an den Lago di Bolsena, für dessen naturerdig, wohliges Wasser ich die 1 stündige Autofahrt gerne in Kauf nahm. Einen Besuch, im fast auf dem Weg liegenden, manieristischen Garten von Bomarzo mit den in Stein gehauenen Giganten hatte ich eingeplant. Aber ganz in der Nähe der Aiola sind ja noch die römischen Termen von Bagno Vignioni mit dem großen erhaltenen Wasserbecken aus der Zeit der Römer, oder Das Kloster St.Anna in Camprena mit den wunderschönen Fresken im Refektorium, oder Castelluccio mit Ausstellungen zeitgenössischer Künstler oder..oder........Ich werde wieder kommen.

Beste Erinnerungen

castorita München
Review Submitted: July 17, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Ich war zum vierten Male in diesem wunderbaren Haus.Es ist außerordentlich stilvoll und behutsam renoviert und erhalten. Eine Freude sind die verschiedenen Aufenthaltsplätze rund um das Haus, an die man sich je nach Tageszeit, zurückziehen kann. Die Küche ist perfekt eingerichtet für Menschen, die gerne kochen und an langen Abenden beieinandersitzen. Alle Zimmer sind individuell gestaltet, sodaß man auch gerne mal auf dem Bett liegt um zu lesen. Das Besondere: es liegen sogar wunderbare Bücher dort, sodaß ich vergessen habe, meine eigenen mitgebrachten zu lesen.Wir durften in einem herrlichen Kräutergarten ernten und meine Freunde haben sich in die unglaublich schönen Rosen verliebt. Ich selber genoß die Badewanne in der großen Halle, duschen mit Blick auf die Felder, mehr kann man sich nicht wünschen! Zumal der Besitzer uns mit bestem Wein versorgte und in jeder anderen Weise hilfreich beigestanden ist
