Photos and Description of this Castelnuovo Berardenga holiday barn A self-catering luxury villa rental ideal base for Chianti wine tours

VITIGNANELLO is a young winery in Chianti producing a fabulous Super Tuscan recently mentioned on the gourmet food and wine channel ‘Gambero Rosso’ for its quality and the beauty of the estate itself. Vitignanello offers its guests 3 independent luxury apartment rentals in a converted barn on top of the historical hamlet of Pianella. The barn, originally part of a larger estate comprising thousands of hectares of land and buildings is now a private residence overlooking the vineyard to one side and the beautiful panorama of the Chianti Region, its rolling hills dotted by olive groves and lined by vineyards to the other. The careful conversion of the barn, designed by a Sienese architect was carried out maintaining the simple traditional exterior structure of Tuscan barns whilst making the interiors very elegant, with astonishing design elements which are a true delight for the appreciative and the connoisseur. Comfort , ecology and beauty are the underlying motives of the house.

Further details for this holiday barn rental in Castelnuovo Berardenga, Italy

Chianti Region: Chianti is a rather wide area of Tuscany (70,000 hectares) shaped by wonderful hills, valleys, forests and mountains running on pretty much a north/south alliance between Florence and Siena. It is very famous for its red wine, named after the region itself and for the stunning beauty of its landscape, dotted by olive trees and lined by vineyards whose color changing throughout the seasons make Chianti an all-year.-round wonder. Its continental climate with a moderately low temperature in winter (3º or 4º C.) is dry and hot in summer rising over 35º C. The temperature does not swing much during the day thanks to different heights spanning from 250 to 600 meters above sea level and surpassing 800 meters in the mountains. Chianti has been been producing suberb wines since the end of the 14th, the many medieval wine estates with their gorgeous castles witness this ancient tradition. Nowadays Chianti wines, as well as its olive oil are amongst the most appreciated Italian products.

Under a Tuscan sun

Yol Manitoba, Canada
Review Submitted: July 15, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
Our Vitignanello vacation was one of our best vacations ever. The hosts were very gracious and were always available to offer valuable advice on sight-seeing, shopping and restaurants. The barn is brand new and built with locally sourced material. It is modern yet fits in beautiflly with the surrounding area. Everything in the design was carefully thought out. The property is well-maintained and had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful for the very hot afternoons. We enjoyed many sunsets on the balcony of our apartment while sipping on local wine. We were perfectly located to explore the Chianti wine area as well as make a few trips to Siena for groceries and sight-seeing.We spent 2 weeks at Vitgnanello but it wasn't enough to see all the beautiful towns and treasures central Tuscany has to offer. We have fantastic memories of our stay and would recommend this property without reservation.

Great experience

Review Submitted: June 13, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a great holiday in Vitignanello. The House and it's surroundings are in top class. Very beautiful and peaceful landscape. The location of villa is ideal of going everywhere...of course you need a car. The nearby village (Pianella) is very small but you can get groceries and etc from there. Siena is only 12 km away from there.

Also we want to thank our host family. Everything worked more than well and they are very friendly people who helped us in everything we needed and more.

A beautiful place!

Review Submitted: June 4, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Vitignanello is absolutely beautiful. It is exactly as it is pictured and described on the website. It is clean and well-maintained, and has the vibe of a much loved home. It was just too easy to develop an immediate attachment to the place.

Pianella, the closest town, and others in the vicinity, have basic amenities, restaurants, etc., and it is just a 10 minute drive to Siena. The motorway is easily accessible, making it suitable for day trips (Florence, San Gimignano, wine tours, etc); and the property itself is smack in a vineyard, surrounded by scenic drives and views in every direction. The villa itself feels homely. It is bright and airy, well-furnished (with a fully equipped kitchen) and tastefully decorated.

The owners are delightful! They were friendly, and took time and effort to help us with suggestions and directions. All in, the villa was perfect for us, and I would highly recommend it.
