Villa Castellare de’ Sernigi

Perched on a scenic ridge between Florence and Siena, the two-villa Castellare de’ Sernigi estate offers an authentic Tuscan base for up to 21 guests in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Combining a meticulously restored 15th-century historic manor with an elegant modern villa, the estate is ideal for intimate family gatherings, memorable events, and multi-generational retreats.

The estate grounds stretch across acres of rolling countryside, dotted with cypress trees, olive groves, and fragrant Mediterranean gardens. A unique feature of the estate is its private sculpture park, which displays an ever-evolving collection of sculptures and installations, showcasing the works of artists and artisans from Italy and beyond.

Outside the historic main villa, guests can unwind by the large stone-decked swimming pool or soak in the bubbling Jacuzzi under the stars. Centred in the garden is a charming open-air theatre, where guests can enjoy private musical performances during summer evenings paired with local Chianti wines. Moreover, shaded stone terraces provide scenic al fresco dining settings for long Tuscan lunches and sunset aperitifs.

Indoors, the villa has been artfully restored to honour its rich architectural origins with stone fireplaces, vaulted stone arches, beamed ceilings, and polished terracotta floors. Two spacious, light-filled living rooms and a formal dining room invite effortless relaxation, while a fully equipped chef’s kitchen serves as the culinary heart of the home.

Seven well-appointed, en-suite bedrooms accommodate up to 13 guests. These include five bedrooms that can be set up as either a king-size or twin room, one smaller double room, and one cosy single room. An additional single bed may be added to the single room on request, ideal for those travelling with younger children.

Located just a short walk across the estate lawns, Casa Liliana provides an intimate, contemporary contrast for an additional eight guests. Originally the private home of the estate’s owners, the residence offers a refined, minimalist aesthetic while retaining authentic Tuscan warmth.

Outdoors, it features its own 9-metre swimming pool, private sun terraces, and an open veranda framing sweeping sunset views over the Chianti hills.

Inside, panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame the surrounding countryside. A modern kitchen and living space provide a relaxing setting, while four stylish, light-filled bedrooms all feature en-suite facilities and direct garden access.

With its perfect blend of Renaissance heritage and modern comforts, Castellare de’ Sernigi estate provides a memorable luxury villa experience in the Tuscan countryside.
