About this property
Luxury Peaceful Villa With Vine Covered Pergola Enjoying Panoramic Views.
Il Palazzo di Chiantina is a refurbished medieval monastery farmhouse with incredible panoramic views overlooking the Niccone Valley, and straddling the Tuscan-Umbrian border. The villa is well located, 4km from the nearest village, Mercatale. Perugia, Cortona and Lake Trasemeno are all within travelling distance.
ll Palazzo di Chiantina has recently undergone sympathetic restoration, we have made every effort to select the interior furnishings to ensure that they reflect local traditions, whilst retaining that important element of modern comfort. Adding, modern bathrooms with rainfall showers and roll-top baths.
Sleeping 12 people, our property is perfect for large groups or multiple families. Each room has its own personality and style. You may notice some of our rooms have personal names, such as Baux and Siena, these are the names of my beautiful children, who spent every summer here playing out in the olive groves and swimming every day.
Whilst renovating inside, we also have put in a lot of work to create our gorgeous established garden as it stands today. Set in 2 hectares of private land, the gardens and terraces contain a variety of fruit trees, figs, walnuts, plums, almonds, olives and vines and you are welcome to help yourselves to their bounty (in season of course). The vine-covered pergola allows you to dine alfresco whilst enjoying the magnificent views. During the day it provides a large, shaded scented (in May/June) area to relax. At night you may see the fireflies dancing and you’ll see exactly why the monks chose this spot.
Set lower on our grounds, our beautiful swimming pool still has the most incredible views of the valley. Equipped with a shaded pergola with a sofa seating area, as well as plenty of sun loungers, it is the perfect place to spend the day.
The locals call us the “House with the ‘Hollywood’ view!”, located 590m above sea level.
Please note our driveway and the main road to the villa is a very steep white road, therefore we would recommend a 4x4 car. Whilst 2-wheel drive can manage, going back up the drive with a full load can be a struggle.

About the host
Hosted by Ashleigh Wigley
My name is Ashleigh the owner of Il Palazza di Chiantina for the past 25 years. Over the years, we have lovingly renovated our home, adding modern touches, whilst still being very conscientious to keep its beautiful Tuscan charm, that we fell in love with 25 years ago. Each time we visit we have been adding to the villa, therefore we hope you will find absolutely everything you need. We have enjoyed countless happy holidays with family and friends over these years and we hope you have a wonderful stay filled with relaxation and unforgettable moments too.
Why they chose this property
Although many properties in the area enjoy spectacular views, Il Palazzo di Chiantina never ceases to impress every first-time guest. We really do think we have the best view in the area, these breathtaking views are constantly changing with the varying lights of the day. The locals call us the “House with the ‘Hollywood’ view!”, located 590m above sea level. If you are an early riser like me, you cannot miss one of my favourite views, as the sunrises and the mist begins to break, exposing villa roof by villa roof breaking through across the landscape.
