We do have 2 more put-up cots for tinies and two old wooden high-chairs. 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. Puede alquilarlo por muy poco para estar seguro de estar solo en la propiedad... y tener aún más espacio. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Ski-in/ski-out access ### Pool/Spa -

Our family of 7 stayed at the house and it is a wonderful layout. Pictures don’t do the home and grounds justice. Kitchen is great to cook in and well stocked. The pool is lovely and great to lounge around. There are numerous outdoor locations to dine, gather and enjoy your time together. Purchase your groceries, paper products and toiletries before you arrive :) Marina’s home is well located for Siena and many of the locales you’ll want to visit. We would definitely rent here again! ##### William W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ryan S. 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy ##### Ryan S.

Alt fungerede og levede til fulde op til det vi forventede. En nat med uvejr betød at der var en beskidt pool om morgenen, men her kom Stefano forbi og rensede den, så den hurtigt kunne tages i brug igen. Vi kan virkelig anbefale dette sted og kunne sagtens finde på at komme tilbage ##### Christian B.

As mentioned by others, the road in is a little rough (2.5 kilometers of narrow and steep gravel), but once on pavement you are 50 minutes from Florence, 30 minutes from Siena, and a stone's throw from lots and lots of great wineries and hill towns. And once at the place, the bumpy drive out encourages one to stay put, enjoy the enormous pool, and connect with your family and friends. I would change nothing about the location. Marina was a joy to deal with, there were zero issues with the place, and I would go back tomorrow were it not for the real world getting in the way of my recreation 😊 ##### Eric G. Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SUSAN R., New York, NY 7 Nov 2018 #### Amazing Villa! Spent a week here with 6 friends for my 70th birthday. Best celebration ever. The kitchen is the best equipped I've seen and my daughter brought her friend who is a chef, so we had amazing meals. But, we also went out to eat and there are many fine restaurants in the surrounding area. The house was a dream. So beautiful and well appointed. Great WiFi, modern bathrooms and plenty of them. Lovely comfortable bedrooms. And great fireplaces which we use in the evenings. We spent alternate days traveling the countryside and other days just enjoying the villa and the pool. The water was cold (in late October) but the owner agreed to keep it open for us and we spent time enjoying 75 degree days by the water. Some of us even took a dip. Marina was so helpful with all of the information she sent ahead of time. Great communication! And, Elizabetta came midweek to tidy up. Cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen, took out garbage, etc. What a lovely help that was. The view from the Villa is exquisite and the grounds are beautiful. We also rented the Capanna which is a lovely extra 'apartment'. Such a great location to tour the countryside and enjoy the beauty of Tuscany in an authentic villa. Thank you Marina for opening your lovely home to us! We couldn't have chose a better spot. I miss it already! ##### SUSAN R. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Skye K. 24 Sept 2018 #### Incredible property in the most beautiful area, entrance road not for wary drivers! Everything from booking to leaving was perfect! The host was wonderful to speak with, very attentive, and very easy to communicate with! I rented the house for a group of friends as we were attending a wedding nearby, and this house was perfect for what we needed it for. The house has everything you need, and we were able to relax and unwind as if we were at our own home. The house is in the deep countryside, so bugs, insects and the occasional wild boar is a given, but I would not expect anything less, and the property is so beautiful, you don't really notice! We had a few hot days where we could use the pool (which in my opinion is one of the best pools of the area!) and it was just a complete heaven! The only point I would really emphasise: RENT A 4X4 - We rented a Landrover after reading the previous reviews (and we were a group with luggage) and I am so glad we did, the entrance road is mountainous, with a sheer drop to one side, and quite bumpy. Low / small cars may struggle, and if you're a wary driver this may not be the road for you. Taxi's do not like driving it (as we found out.. eek!) so just make sure your car is prepared! It's about a 5 minute drive from the main road to the property, but then when you see the house and the view, my god it's worth it. Grazie Marina, we'll see you again soon! ##### Skye K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam W. 27 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful property in stunning Chianti countryside. Best kitchen & pool we've ever had in a rental A wonderful stay in this beautiful property. All very homely and comfortable. All the owners information, advice and instructions made sure we got the most out of our week. (I think we saw all wildlife on the list: wild boar with young, deer, porcupines...) The swimming pool was the best we had in any rental - big & deep ! And very friendly, welcoming local Osteria's everywhere... We had wonderful days in both Siena & Florence, both only a short distance away. All in all a fab family holiday. ##### Sam W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yannick R. 6 Aug 2018 #### 5 Punkte! Sehr persönlich und äußerst geschmackvoll eingereichtes Ferienhaus mit ebenso einzigartigem Nebenhaus (Capanna). Für 12 Pers. bestens geeignet. Sehr großer Pool mit traumhaftem Blick ins Tal. Sehr angenehmer Kontakt zur Vermieterin. Was man allerdings wissen muss: Die Zufahrt ist lang und recht steinig. ##### Yannick R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrews B. 9 Jul 2018 #### A great place to really getaway. Our group of 6 loved staying in this beautiful Tuscan Villa. Marina’s instructions were very thorough, and we did not have much of a problem at all getting to and into the property. Everything was very clean, Marina’s communication was perfect, and her Villa is beautiful. I would caution anyone looking into this stay to read the property info before booking. It is very much a remote Villa in the Gaiole di Chianti area, and the windy, gravel road to the house does make exploring the nearby towns difficult after dark. ##### Andrews B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesca G. 4 May 2018 #### Meravigliosa perla sulle colline toscane Maggio 2018 , un week end con amici e rispettivi bambini, dai 10 mesi ai 6 anni. Casa spaziosa e organizzatissima , con un bellissimo giardino e piscina solo per noi, che abbiamo potuto godere nonostante non fosse ancora stagione. Pulizia della casa buona, biancheria e stoviglie presenti, la dependance dista 50 m ed è un bijoux, c’e Tutto ed è molto romantica. Unica pecca attenzione alla strada sterrata che porta alla casa perché le auto fanno un po’ fatica, è stretta e molto impervia in alcuni punti ma percorribile con fuoristrada e suv, andando piano e stando attenti . Però ne vale la pena... è un po’ isolata rispetto al paese di Gaiole, ciò la rende adatta a chi ama stare in relax ##### Francesca G.

We had the most amazing family holiday at Scopeto. The house is super comfortable and user friendly. The setting is incredible! We played, we relaxed, we went sightseeing, we drank local wine and had the time of our lives. The pool is huge and the pool area fantastic. The BBQ and kitchen are top notch as are all the rooms. Marina was very helpful both before we booked and afterwards. We could not have been happier and will definitely go back. Tough to beat to be honest! ##### Jack W.

Die vielen Terrassen ermöglichen eindrucksvolle Blicke in alle Himmelsrichtungen. Tagsüber spielen die Kinder auf den Wiesen und am Pool, der große Koch- und Essbereich (innen und außen) lädt zum ständigen Kochen und Plaudern ein und bei Regen und an kühleren Abenden geniesst man die Ruhe am Kamin - kurzum: der perfekte Ort zum ausspannen!

The house is situated in classic Tuscan countryside with amazing views in an idyllic location. We felt like film stars! The house has everything you could possibly need (and more!) and has some beautiful features. We whiled away peaceful days flopping in and out of the large pool with a backdrop of the Chianti hills and went for walks in the nearby forest. Evenings were spent sitting on the wall facing the views, sampling the delicious local wines with home cooked pizza or pasta topped with the mouth watering local produce. Our stay here will live long in our memories and we would highly recommend it to anyone. ##### Wendy P.

The sunset views are amazing and sitting by the pool under the blooming roses with a glass of local wine, a bowl of olives and a view over the rolling hills they are grown on, is what my holiday dreams are made of. Owners very helpful. House clean and comfortable. ##### Daisy K.

Great swimming pool and garden as well as the inside decoration. Everything to feel like at home. Just make sure you do not have a sport car to go to the house, but the house deserves the last 10min of forest path /way if you want to enjoy peaceful holidays. The owners are also really helpful and friendly. ##### Maud W.

This one really wants to sleep into the day without any disturbance and just live into the day, like it was in the old days. He really doesn‘t want to see nor hear of any strangers to disturb him. He just wants to pop up, when he likes it, and looks for his secret retreat, that no other one knows of. That‘s like it is in Scopeto! If you want it, you can be in half an hour on the Campo in Siena or in some more than an hour to Florence, just by car. You got a wonderfull, undisturbed view high up in the mountains of the Chianti, a lovely pool and a fine house for the holidays of the year. There‘s enough room for the plenty of Your‘s, but also a place to retire from the busy world. What is the price for it? The one, who likes it busy, will be at bore. The one, who wants an easy access, will curse the long and weary road. But the one, who is in the need to find Himself, he will come again and again. Philipp from Leipzig --- Wer ist es denn, der in seinem Urlaub Ruhe vor dem Alltag im Büro und seiner Hektik sucht? Dieser Zeitgenosse möchte endlich einmal ohne Störung ausschlafen und in den Tag hineinleben, wie es vor langer Zeit ganz normal war. Er möchte also weit und breit keinen fremden Menschen sehen oder hören. Er möchte nur dann ,Auftauchen‘, wenn es ihm gefällt. Und er möchte einen geheimen Rückzugsort für sich, den andere nicht kennen. So ist es in Scopeto! Wer will, ist in einer halben Stunde in Siena auf dem Campo, in einer guten Stunde in Florenz, er hat eine wunderbare, unverbaubare Aussicht hoch in den Bergen des Chianti, Pool und ein schönes Ferienhaus mit kleinem Nebengebäude, Platz für viele - aber auch die geheime Abgeschiedenheit von der geschäftigen Welt. Womit ist das erkauft? Wer es trubelig liebt, der wird sich langweilen! Wer den schnellen Zugang will, der wird den langen Weg verfluchen. Aber wer einmal diese Ruhe und das Finden seines Selbst wieder braucht, der kommt immer wieder. Philipp aus Leipzig ##### Philipp v.

Schade nur, dass wir bedingt durch einen Megastau am Brenner einen Tag später anreisen mußten. Die Schlüsselübergabe verlief reibungslos und mit Betty lernten wir gleich mal einen sehr netten Mensche kennen. Die Anfahrt durch den Wald ist für normale PKW und einen aufmerksamen Fahrer null Problemo. Am Ende das Weges ist man dann auf einem herrlich gelegenen Grundstück, mit romantischem Ferienhaus angekommen. Alle Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Unser sehr anspruchsvoller "Mannschaftskoch" war auch mit der perfekt eingerichtete Küche sehr zufrieden. Der riesige Pool lädt zum schwimmen und relaxen ein. Bei uns passte dazu auch ein beständig schönes Wetter. Wir hatten die Fahrräder dabei und konnten somit auch die nähere Umgebung via Pedalo erreichen. Allerdings sollte man beachten, dass die Gegend sehr bergig ist, und somit auch etwas sportliches fahren erfordert. Ein wunderbarer Ausflug war eine Fahrt (mit PKW) zum ehemaligen Kloster Sant' Anna in Camprena (Nähe Pienza) mit Abendessen im Kloster. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir dann auf der Strasse noch ein Stachelschwein gesehen. Wir dachten ja solche Tiere gibts nur in Afrika! Ein guter Tip zum Essen gehen ist das kleine Restaurant in Barbischio! Dank der umfangreichen Beschreibung mit Tips für alles Notwendige sind wir bestens durch diesen Urlaub gekommen. Danke Marina für diesen wunderschönen Urlaub ! ##### Tino S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [17 Century Farmhouse with HEATED pool, games room & aircon (EXCLUSIVE USE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anghiari-Hotels-10-Discount-FOR-2020-17-Century-Farmhouse-With-Heated-Pool.h36354411.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenuta La Bandita](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sassetta-Hotels-Tenuta-La-Bandita.h1147278.Hotel-Information) > > [Sina Astor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Sina-Astor.h573657.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Bonanno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Bonanno.h1391564.Hotel-Information) > > [Toscana Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montopoli-In-Val-DArno-Hotels-Toscana-Holiday-Village.h8330824.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Santo Pietro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiusdino-Hotels-Relais-Borgo-Santo-Pietro.h4644735.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Park Albatros Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vincenzo-Hotels-Park-Albatros-Village.h4140576.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casole-DElsa-Hotels-Castello-Di-Casole.h5058985.Hotel-Information) > > [Camplus Firenze Fortezza - Casa per Ferie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Camplus-Guest-Firenze.h67665965.Hotel-Information) > > [Locanda In Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiglione-DOrcia-Hotels-Locanda-In-Tuscany.h13085760.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Palace-Hotel.h18611.Hotel-Information) > > [La Pace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forte-Dei-Marmi-Hotels-La-Pace.h3801865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mizar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chianciano-Terme-Hotels-Hotel-Mizar.h23963148.Hotel-Information) > > [Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort Tuscany, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monsummano-Terme-Hotels-Grotta-Giusti-Thermal-Spa-Resort-Tuscany.h904294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo San Luigi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteriggioni-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-San-Luigi.h527532.Hotel-Information) > > [Pisa Tower Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Allegroitalia-Pisa-Tower-Plaza.h3067108.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping Village Torre Pendente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Camping-Village-Torre-Pendente.h6572809.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Rock Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Eden-Rock-Resort.h1723244.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Capalbio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Capalbio-Hotels-Resort-Capalbio.h2784939.Hotel-Information) > > [Agriturismo Il Casalino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Civitella-Paganico-Hotels-Agriturismo-Il-Casalino.h24337567.Hotel-Information) > > [PuntAla Camp & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiglione-Della-Pescaia-Hotels-PuntAla-Camp-Resort.h6890097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cappuccina Country Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Gimignano-Hotels-Relais-Cappuccina-Ristorante-Hotel.h1343502.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenuta Fattoria Vecchia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scansano-Hotels-Tenuta-Fattoria-Vecchia.h24139391.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Il Castagno Wine & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siena-Hotels-Villa-Il-Castagno-Wine-Resort.h21339011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo San Lorenzo & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colle-Di-Val-DElsa-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-San-Lorenzo-SPA.h3474921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Norcenni Girasole Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Figline-E-Incisa-Valdarno-Hotels-Norcenni-Girasole-Village.h3530075.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sense Experience Resort - Preferred Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Follonica-Hotels-The-Sense-Experience-Resort.h31888190.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Montescudaio Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montescudaio-Hotels-Camping-Village-Montescudaio.h42358598.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Royal.h27947.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Olmi Firenze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bagno-A-Ripoli-Hotels-Villa-Olmi-Firenze.h1441538.Hotel-Information)
