Scandelaia is a historic exposed stone villa located in an elevated position near Castelnuovo Berardenga, with panoramic views of the Chianti hills and the distant towers of Siena. Accessible via an avenue lined with cypress trees and surrounded by terraced gardens and woods, the villa has been carefully restored to preserve its original architecture. Thick stone walls, exposed beams and terracotta floors are combined with period furniture and works of art. Large lounges and dining rooms, as well as six bedrooms, can accommodate up to twelve people. Designed for outdoor living, the property has outdoor dining and relaxation areas, a botanical garden and a large terraced pool area with open views of the countryside. Ideal for families or groups, the estate offers generous indoor and outdoor spaces, while remaining a short distance from Siena, the Chianti wine villages and the local restaurants of San Gusmè. The discreet caretakers live in a separate annex and take care of the maintenance of the park and the pool.
