Overlooking Siena and covered in vineyards, olive groves, and captivating forestry, this brand new villa just finished restoration in June 2014 and recently expanded in 2023 to include 2 additional guesthouses. The property now has a total of 10 bedrooms and can sleep up to 23 people, making this one of the biggest villas in Chianti and a self-contained private resort. The villa was restored by local Italians of the highest standard to maintain the Tuscan culture, artisanal tradition, and craftsmanship, whilst complemented by modern furniture and contemporary amenities. Some of the finest quality local materials that were used include hand-made terra cotta floors, Italian marble and travertine for the terraces and bathrooms, chestnut windows and doors, and walnut for the kitchen and library. The main house is 440 sq metres (4500 sq ft) with 6 bedrooms and all ensuite bathrooms and a library which can be used as a proper bedroom.

In 2023, we recently expanded the property to also include 2 additional beautiful private guesthouses (each guesthouse is 600 sq ft) with each guesthouse having two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. 1 guesthouse has one bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and kitchenette, and adjacent to it, there is a second separated bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

It is so peaceful and quiet to enjoy the true beauty of Tuscany but also so close to the local town for dinners and shopping. The list of recommendations was really helpful during our stay.

Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim M. 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular Everything As many have said before, Isola Serena is just wonderful. We had a group made up of 10 couples and to a person they were just blown away at the villa and individual accommodations. Everything you need is there including an abundance of stunning views - from morning til dark, the changing light alters the panoramic landscape so that every minute you feels looking at some new and remarkably beautiful. It’s amazing how much time we spent just gazing across the valley. Raffaella took great care of us during our stay and the cleaning crew made sure everything was refreshed mid-week. We mostly used a private chef (Mattisse) for four of the seven nights and it was a god-send as we were often running all day. We did cook one big meal for our last night there and the villa had everything we needed to pull it off. Getting provisions requires a little planning as the market closes from 1:00-4:00p so you have to keep that in mind. I sure hope we have an opportunity to stay again at this wonderful, magical, and majestic villa. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a28fbc3c-61a5-485d-add3-5f42ab0314b3-1748762449720.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dfd89fdc-d241-465b-bd3c-de04126e2a5f-1748762449662.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95c73a5b-ac07-4ec5-a689-42050027e8f6-1748762449448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ccbbd5dc-5fb3-4ab7-b987-3a49fbb0fcb5-1748762449352.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tim M.

Isola Serena is a hidden gem between Florence and Siena and many other beautiful Tuscan towns and wineries in between. The Villa is very private and immaculate in every respect - lots of space, modern, yet with an old Tuscan farm-like appeal. And the views? Absolutely amazing. Personally, I would look no further if you want a true Tuscany Villa adventure all your own. ##### Geoffrey C.

This villa was by far best location we found. Everything was perfect, from our communication with Serena, to the reception by Raffaella, and then a stay in an amazing villa in an amazing setting. We were a group of maximum 9 persons, ranging in age from 20 to 60, and all were pleased with the amenities, especially watching the sunset across the vineyards and hills of Tuscany from the terrace. We will be looking to come back, maybe in the fall when the grapes have been picked and the tourists have all left for home. Bravo! ##### James A.

Ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom makes for a great spot with larger groups. The short drive to the centre of Castellina in Chianti and other surrounding Tuscany towns was great. We can't say enough about the pool. Wow! The property manager Natalia was very responsive and was quite helpful in securing drivers and restaurants reservations. We'll be back!

We used Isola Serena as our base to take day trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena and the location is perfect. The Villa is simply a dream come true. Everything you can read about it is far from what you will experience. The rooms, the kitchen, the pools, and the insane terrace view is one we will never forget. Then the attention from the online booking from the Kalen Property team to the onsite personal attention with Rafaella who was always on top of everything made this perfect. Don’t hunk about it.. book this beautiful Villa and enjoy a Tuscan life! You will remember it forever.. I know we will. Grazie! ##### Roberto R.

We were blown away by the panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside – the pictures just don’t do it justice! We stayed in the guest house, Casa Oliviero, and it has one of the best views overlooking the beautiful large infinity pool and vineyards. The other guesthouse, Casa Matteo, was furnished with Italian style windows and doors that also made it super charming. We spent most of our time relaxing at the villa and the infinity pool was perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun. Our group also loved the location of the villa and how convenient it was to pick up groceries and supplies at the local town, Castellina in Chianti, which has everything that you need, including a great grocery store, restaurants, cafes, shops, gelato, and wine tasting. It was a week we'll never forget, and we can’t wait to be back again with a drink in our hands watching the sunset behind the rolling Tuscan hills every night! ##### Zhuowen Y.

Our stay at Isola Serena was hands down the best family vacation we’ve ever had! The villa is simply perfect- from the incredible views surrounding the property, to the gorgeous infinity pool, to the herb and tomato garden, to relaxing in the heated plunge pool - everything was a dream. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need- and the local grocery store is a short drive away! So many fantastic restaurants nearby to try. Going out for day trips to nearby towns was also straightforward. Coming back to relax and lounge by the pool was the perfect way to end the day! There’s something special about Isola Serena - you simply feel happy and calm once you step foot onto the property. Kudos to Natalia the property manager being so responsive, professional and helpful. For an extra special meal and experience, we highly recommend a private dinner and pasta making class with Paola. Thank you Isola Serena for being the perfect paradise escape for our entire family to enjoy! ##### Alex L.

We had a dream getaway at Isola Serena. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away but the uniquely Italian character and breathtaking Tuscany views, with modern amenities for that extra level of comfort. Each of the six large bedrooms has its own ensuite washroom so no fighting over who gets which room, they’re all great! The kitchen is spacious for cooking large family meals and has a dishwasher to help with quick clean up. Or not into cooking on vacation, the hosts helped organize our own personal chef - what a treat! The large patio and pool looks out on the classic Tuscan view of endless rolling hills of vineyards and olive groves and the large patio table is perfect spot to enjoy a feast with family and friends - everyone will fit! It’s also less then a 10 minute drive into town to pickup fresh food from the market and visit the local shops. From there your in central Tuscany so it’s a quick drive to explore the unique neighbouring towns or go into Siena or even Florence where you can stop in at places like The Mall for some great designer shopping. I can’t say enough about how much our family enjoyed our stay other then, we can’t wait to be back! So many more hidden gems to explore. Thank you Serena and Peter for making our stay one to remember. ##### Jesica S.

We cannot recommend this villa highly enough!! There are no words to fully describe the beauty of Isola Serena. The main villa & new guesthouses, along with the outdoor spaces, were so thoughtfully and beautifully restored - the property was both luxurious and authentic to Tuscan style. It was easily the most beautiful place we have ever had the opportunity to stay, with views that almost seemed like they couldn't be real! The hosts, Serena and Peter, were so kind and communicative before & during our stay. They provided an extensive list of recommendations - each one we visited was excellent! We especially loved our private dinners @ home with Chefs Andrea & Paola. Raffaella, the property manager, was so kind and showed us around the villa at check in. Both Raffaella and Serena were quickly available for any questions we had throughout our stay. Castellina was a perfect location - we loved driving into town each morning and visiting many of the local restaurants and wineries (which were spectacular). It was also a central location to adventure out to Firenze, Montalcino, and Montepulciano (all within about 1 hour or less). Even in April, we loved lounging by the infinity pool - it was straight out of a magazine! Sunsets were completely picturesque from the upper patio. Every night, we used the smaller pool which was perfectly heated to serve as a hot tub. Thank you SO much, Serena, Peter & Raffaella - you made Castellina feel like home, and we can't wait to return!! ##### Jaclene F.

We were 5 couples vacationing together and wanted to stay at an upscale property to establish as our home base. Our expectations were exceeded. All of the bedrooms were very comfortable and set up as king beds and all had their own private bath. The kitchen facilities were first rate and the outdoor areas were exquisite. Beautiful scenic views from all directions. There was plenty of room for 10 people so that we can have our private space when needed. The property manager was excellent and made sure all of our needs were met. We hired a private chef for 3 days (recommended by the property management company) and his meals were outstanding and he and his staff had superb customer service skills. Finally, the extra luxury that we were not expecting was a new 20 yard long infinity pool on the property. This was such a benefit for us because 4 individuals in the group swim laps as part of their regular exercise routine and this pool was long enough to give you a good workout. The other 6 individuals were hikers and the property is surrounded by beautiful walking trails for everyone to enjoy. The villa is located in a great location close enough to do day trips (if you have a car) to many beautiful cities (Monteriggiano, San Gimignano, Florence, Volterra, etc.) in the area. If you are thinking of vactioning in Tuscany this is the place to be. If we travel back to the area we will definitely stay here again. ##### Rick A.

The property was stunning, comfortable, spacious, and was equipped with every amenity one could think of. Raffaella the property manager was so communicative and incredible. She helped with recommendations, was so prompt with answering any questions, and even delivered wine to us during the national holiday when the shops were closed. The kids and adults had the vacation of their dreams, and I know we’ll be back again! ##### Nick R.

Our stay at Isola Serena was an unforgettable experience! The villa was very clean and the private gym and infinity pool are fantastic perks, especially after a day of sightseeing to nearby towns, cities, and vineyards, all of which were in great proximity to the villa. The property is perfect for large groups of families or friends, as every bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there is 1 main house and 2 guesthouses, so everyone could still have some privacy while still being together. It is also very kid-friendly as the villa has a children's playground and sandbox, so the kids kept themselves busy as well as spent time in the large infinity pool and small plunge pool. The owners were excellent and made booking very easy as they answered all of our questions, gave us many great recommendations, and their onsite local property manager, Raffaella, was great and very attentive, showed us around the entire property, and continuously checked in on us throughout the week. Highly recommended Isola Serena for those seeking a luxurious yet cozy retreat with the full Tuscan experience! We will definitely be back again! ##### Ivan L.
