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.

We had a wonderful holiday here. The pool is gorgeous and the views are stunning. The bedrooms are lovely and very comfortable. The driveway is tricky without a four wheel drive, but we parked on the road just outside the driveway which was fine. Overall, would thoroughly recommend!

Truly a Luxury Villa in Tuscany!

Outstanding property on the border of southeastern Tuscany and Umbria. 4 en suite bedrooms and two additional bedrooms provided ample space for our group to mingle have private time. The setting is beyond stunning: the gardens, patio/pergola area, pool and hot tub are meticulously maintained and provide the perfect setting for a morning read/cup of coffee, afternoon nap, or cocktail hour chats. Kitchen and separate pantry (second kitchen) are very well outfitted and enable easy meal prep. Owner provided super helpful recommendations for car rental service, taxi service, and a chef to come in and make meals. Choosing this villa was the best vacation choice I ever made!

Stunning Views & Solitude

If you are looking for the ultimate place to relax and enjoy the Tuscan / Umbrian country side, this is the place. The morning sunrises are spectacular and warming after the cool May nights. The villa contains all the conveniences of home. There was plenty of room for 4 couples to spread out and have their privacy. Ashleigh and her team are great hosts.

Perfect Family getaway

The views are knockout. The villa has a lovely warm homely feel. Lovely bathrooms and a kitchen with everything you could ever need. Dining out on the terrace was amazing. Outside, the gardens and pool are impeccable and plenty of lounging areas to be found. Quite a steep access road which our little hire car found a challenge so I’d recommend more power than a Fiat Panda. Although we managed fine. Will definitely recommend to large family groups. Perfect getaway to relax and drink in the Umbrian / Tuscan views.

A Wonderful Winter Stay in Cortona

Our group of 9 adults celebrated New Year’s in the stunning house near Cortona, and it was an amazing experience. While the property is primarily designed for summer stays, it was perfectly suited for a winter retreat. The house was impeccably heated, providing comfort and warmth throughout our stay.As agreed beforehand, the pool and hot tub were not accessible during this season, but this didn’t affect our enjoyment in the slightest. Ashleigh, our host, was absolutely perfect - always responsive and ready to help with any request we had. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home.Ashleigh even made the piggery available to us in case we needed additional space, though we ended up not using it. The house itself was a beautiful mix of rustic charm and modern comfort, nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside. It provided the perfect backdrop for our New Year celebrations.I would highly recommend this property to anyone, regardless of the season. It’s a true gem, made even better by an exceptional host like Ashleigh.

Fantastic 3 family vacation

The house and the property were even better than advertised. Large, secluded, clean and fully kitted out property which was perfect for 6 adults, 6 kids. Seamless communication with Ashleigh and Matteo (on site) and Sara was a fantastic cook at very reasonable rates! The house has a stunning view and the pool was used 10 hours a day by the kids. We even tried our hand at the outdoor pizza oven.. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and the older kids loved the annexe room. A short drive from Cortona and lake Trasimene and only 2.5 hours from Rome - location couldn't be better. Local town/supermarkets were perfectly good enough for our holiday needs and we loved being high up in the hills on a gravel road. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. We'll come back if/when we can!

Absolutely Gorgeous!

We booked this villa for a milestone birthday that included 12 family members spanning 3 generations. The villa is incredibly well appointed with very tasteful décor and attention to detail. It is very spacious with room both inside and out to spread out. We were able to take advantage of the gorgeous outside spaces including the pool. The grounds are outstanding with truly unbelievable views of the Tuscan valley. The villa is within easy striking distance of many great towns and during our stay we visited Cortona, Montepulciano, Florence, Gubbio, and Orvieto. There are countless others we could have visited had time allowed. Ashleigh’s communication was outstanding. It is difficult to organize a trip for so many people and as a result I emailed Ashleigh many, many times. She was fabulous! She arranged to have food and beverages at the villa for our arrival and booked a chef for a dinner during our stay. The meal was absolutely fantastic and extremely reasonable. We only wish we had booked for 2 dinners during our stay. All of us had a memorable holiday and would return without hesitation. Thank you Ashleigh for sharing you beautiful villa with us!

Straight Out of a Movie!

Our stay at Ashleigh's villa was absolutely lovely. The villa is beautiful...modern amenities and comfort with historic and cozy charm. The home and the grounds were spacious and immaculately clean and well kept. The location of the property is quiet and serene - and the views are breathtaking. Truly some of the best I've seen in the world. Ashleigh was a wonderful help to us ahead of our visit in making arrangements and connecting us with local resources. She checked in with us during our stay, and her team of groundskeepers, house managers, housekeepers, and cooks took great care of us from the first day to the last - a very professional and very friendly experience the whole way through. Ashleigh even went out of her way to make sure there were some toys for our three year old (who loved them - thanks Ashleigh). Little touches like a bottle of prosecco to welcome us on arrival and lots of provisions for making fires were greatly appreciated and are the signs of great hosting. If you're looking for a picture perfect, quiet, peaceful, family-friendly retreat and jumping off point for exploring Tuscany and Umbria - this is the place. I think the best indicator of how much we loved Ashleigh's villa is that we're already talking about when to go back. A top notch property, a five star experience through and through, and an excellent value.

Magical property

This property was beautiful; almost like we were in a fairytale. The roses and other flowers were in full bloom and magnificent while we were there! The view from the outdoor table was spectacular, at all times of the day! As long as weather accommodated, we ate every meal out there. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed (except the food, of course.) The 5 bedrooms in the main house were nice and the bathroom I stayed in updated. Good water pressure for the shower too! There were a few maintenance issues, like ceiling fans not working and a broken dryer. The fans were taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. Luckily there was a drying rack and clothesline, so we made do without the dryer. Unfortunately, the pigsty did not live up to the level of the rest of the accommodations. It was small, dark, hot and had scorpions (not the deadly American kind) and cave crickets. The door to the outside opens up right into the bathroom. If we had not used the pigsty, my rating would have been higher. Dolce Forno in Mercatale had some wonderful breads for breakfast and Delizia in Umbertide had awesome gelato!

Magnificent!

Have just returned from a wonderful week at this property. We were 3 families with adult children and were accommodated with ease and comfort. The house was even nicer than in the photos! All the bathrooms have been recently updated. They now have a fabulous huge Olive wood table on the terrace that sat 12 people easily. Ashleigh, the owner, was incredibly responsive to our needs helping us arrange dinner and groceries for our arrival and help organise a cook for two dinners when we were there. Definitely have Sara cook for you. Her food was delicious and her service so reasonably priced. You can enjoy the incredible views and some lovely wine without having to drive! The location of the house is incredible with stunning views - although that does require a 4 km drive up a gravel road and then a steep driveway. Took a little getting used to but we were pros by the end! Easy location for visits to Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcina, Cortona etc. We only had a week and there were many places we didn’t get to. If you want to go out for dinner, follow Ashleigh’s recommendation of Calagrana. We had an amazing meal -but you must make a reservation. All in all an amazing week - can’t wait to go back. Thank you Ashleigh for sharing your beautiful house with us!

Magical experience!

Turning 60 and getting to celebrate this moment with closest friends and family, this was the place for me. One could not have asked for a better and magical place with its spectacular view from morning till evening. The location is just perfect specially during the hot summer season as the sun settles down behind the hills and property making the view even more stunning and magical over the valley ahead. As well as getting some shade when sitting under an amazing pergola with a beautiful roof of growing wine grapes giving you enough shade to cool you down. All meals were taken outside and the dinners with the evening view was just stunning like a renaissance painting. It was also a great experience having Daniela and her team cooking for us when celebrating my birthday. So, thank you Ashleigh for great tip  All guest where amazed by the experience and this beautiful home having all the commodities one could ask for. And if any questions or needing assistance, Matteo would be the first contact point and very helpful. Hanging by the pool was also fantastic specially when temperatures were reaching 36-37C degrees the only place to be cooled down would be there. Our youngsters practically stayed there all day unless we went for some sightseeing. The only little annoyance we noticed was the small wasps coming to drink water on the wet brick floor surrounding the pool. So, one had to be careful not to be stepping on them as I did. But otherwise, a great pool area accommodating all. Unfortunately, we only stayed one week which was too short if wanting to see all interesting places that this area has to offer (as there are many to choose from). But Cortona only being 30 min away by car is a must!! Be aware of the driveway being quite steep getting in and out when arriving the first time. One would have preferred a car with 4WD but with some practice all went well. So, thank you Ashleigh for letting us stay at this amazing and beautiful place. Will certainly come again if possible.

Lovely villa with stunning views

We rented Villa Chiantina for a family reunion, and it was absolutely delightful. We particularly enjoyed the sweeping views across the valley, which changed according to the weather and time of day. Note that the house is remote and the driveway is tricky. The pool is amazing and the fruit trees full of ripe plums and figs. We came with very young children. The owners left us with a crib and 2 high chairs, while we brought 2 folding cots. The girls loved the wide steps into the pool, the swing set and the dollhouse. The parents loved that the pool was a little bit away from the house and that there were different flat play areas both inside and outside. We hired the chef service and Daniela and Alessio were both fabulous! The food was varied and delicious, and what a luxury to be able to relax and enjoy every evening on the terrace after running after little ones all day..! The house has been thoughtfully restored with historic features and modern conveniences, incl a fully equipped kitchen. Bathrooms were great, though lacking anywhere to hang towels. Beds were comfortable, though the wrong size sheets had been put on the king beds and bunched up when slept on. Most of the rooms cooled down at night with cross ventilation, ceiling fans and additional fans gratefully supplied. Unfortunately two rooms with only one window struggled to cool down and could be a bit airless at night. Mosquito screens have been thoughtfully installed on most windows, which was great for a few buggy nights after heavy rainfalls (which had the benefit of bringing down scorching temps). However, in the pigsty there were only netted curtains, which we had to fix down with pins to keep out bugs. The terrace with the shaded pergola is the place where we spent most of our time, whether enjoying meals or the shade, breeze and stunning views. However, a lot of wasps and hornets were drawn to the ripe grapes hanging overhead and scaring the children. Top tip: we asked the house manager Matteo to arrange to have the grapes cut, and within a few days the gardeners came and the problem was reduced dramatically! Matteo himself was an excellent communicator (Italian & English); very responsive and helpful. The cleaning crew came midway through our two weeks and were absolutely lovely. Dealing with Ashleigh in the lead up to our stay was also excellent. All in all would highly recommend!!

Stijlvol, authentiek landhuis met prachtig uitzicht en zwembad

Mooi en rustig gelegen. Prachtig terras met uitzicht om buiten te eten. Zwembad met voldoende ligstoelen en loungeset in de schaduw en het uitzicht. Zeer ruime keuken met veel servies en pannen en dergelijke. Op 1 na alle kamers met dubbelbed en ruime badkamer. Totaal 6 kamers. Zeer steile toegangs oprit tot dichtbij de woning. Er is een andere toegang, waar je Max 2 auto’s kan parkeren, maar dan wel verder ander stijl pad te gaan. Om bij de oprit te komen moet je 3 km grindweg de berg oprijden; dat moet je over hebben voor de rust en uitzicht. We hebben e-mountainbikes gehuurd, fantastisch om in de buurt te doen. In de buurt veel wild; wilde zwijnen, herten en een vos gezien. Tafeltennis aanwezig. Expresso apparaat was stuk, er was wel een matig alternatief. Beheerder Matteo is zeer hulpvaardig. Cortona is t de dichtstbijzijnde mooie stad 35 auto minuten. Verder zijn Perugia 50 min, Assisi 1u15 min en Arezzo 1 uur en Siena 1,5 uur.

The perfect house for a holiday with friends

The house was just perfect for our group of 13 with kids in the age of 9 till 16. The view is stunning, the kitchen well equiped, the interior very cosy. Matteo was a great help during our stay and contact with Ashley was very friendly. we enjoyed dinner made by Daniela and the pizza man. We absolutely will recommend this place to friends. A few notes, it is indeed a steep and bumpy road to reach the house which is not for all people that convenient ;-) Restaurants and villages are a 20/30 minute drive. Some chairs in the garden are a but old/broken and need to be renewed. So as some musquito nets in front of the windows. The fan in our bedroom was not working after a few nights. It could either be off or used on full speed and also the showers in 2 bathrooms broke down during our stay. So maintenance needs to be done here and there of which Matteo takes very good care. But above all we would love to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ashleigh Wigley

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

We are blessed with the most wonderful local help.

Matteo is our wonderful house manager, who manages the house, cleaning and maintenance. For any problems during your stay Matteo will be your point of contact.

Patrizia is our wonderful housekeeper, she is so helpful and always tries to be of every assistance possible. All our guests have always given glowing reports of our wonderful custodians.

We also can highly recommend Roberta our local cook, who is always happy to shop, prepare and clear away, wonderful lovely lunches and dinners. Perfect for a long lunch or supper under the pergola in the heat of the sun! Roberta can organise more formal dinner parties if required too.

Our local gardener Frederico takes pride in keeping our gardens looking the way they do. (Please note our lovely gardener will visit the property most Fridays at 8 am, to maintain the gardens and keep them looking stunning all year round. Frederico will do his utmost not to disturb and we do apologise for the early start and any noise inconvenience)
