Casa Del Sole
A hilltop villa overlooking the Chianti hills

9 Bedrooms, 10 Baths, Sleeps 18


Casa Del Sole

This wonderful Villa, having undergone a complete restoration in 2005, sits at the top of a hill overlooking an amazing Tuscan landscape. The views from every window are breathtaking.  The famous Towers of San Gimignano are outlined on a distant hill and the medieval village of Certaldo is just five minutes away.  There are many beautiful outdoor spaces for relaxing and enjoying the view.  A  large swimming pool sits at the front of the house amid the gardens and looks out over the entire panorama of Tuscan hills.  

The villa's first floor is very large, gracious and open.  A large entry hall brings you into the living room with full size billiards table and comfortable leather furniture.  There is also a small private den/sitting room to the rear of the living room.
The grand dining room, with amazing views of the Tuscan hills from each of its three windows, seats 20 very comfortably at a beautiful wooden table.  It is adjacent to the new kitchen which is fully equipped with stove, dishwasher, freezer, oven, grill and microwave. Large double doors open out from the kitchen to a patio area with outstanding views of the San Gimignano Towers in the distance!   There is a laundry/service room with washing machine on this floor, toward the rear of the house, as well as a powder room and one private guest room with its own bath.
The second floor is reached by a wide and open stairway.  Its very large landing gives access to each of the seven bedrooms and seven baths on this floor.  Pictured above to the right is a twin-bedded room with beautiful views of the countryside.

Shown above, left and right, are two other double bedrooms.  Each bedroom has its own ensuite bath, all of them newly renovated with beautiful italian ceramics and new fixtures.
The third floor of the villa, reached by a spiral staircase from the second floor landing, is a more private suite comprised of large bedroom, full bath, and private rooftop terrace which surrounds the space.  The photo above right shows the view from this beautiful and tranquil setting.
The outside areas of this villa are quite spectacular.  Because of its location, it commands 360 degree views of the Tuscan landscape.  The large swimming pool is located at the front right of the house amid gardens with beautiful views.
