Villa Gaudia, a luxury villa among the vineyards of Chianti.

At Villa Gaudia time stretches out among hills, vineyards and a silence that restores. Mornings begin slowly — perhaps with breakfast served as the light reaches across the Tuscan countryside — and continue between the pool, walks and long, unhurried rest. Every detail here is meant to make you feel looked after, without effort. Evening arrives with soft colour and an intimate mood, made for sharing. It is more than a stay: it is a way of living Tuscany, with a natural elegance.

Detached villa, 500 m². Sleeps up to 12 guests with 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Private semi-Olympic pool (25 × 12 m), heated jacuzzi. Florence, around 20 minutes.

In Chianti, minutes from Florence. Vineyards, historic wineries and medieval towns such as San Gimignano and Greve. A fine base for wine tasting, visits to the art cities and the Tuscan outlets.
