An exclusive wine estate with a private spa, two swimming pools, and panoramic countryside views.
Overlooking the verdant countryside of the Chianti region in Tuscany, Villa il Cellese is a stunning 10-bedroom property. The villa is set across nine hectares of organic land and is available year-round for luxury holidays and special events.
The hilltop location of the outdoor swimming pool offers guests magnificent panoramic views of the property’s vineyards, the surrounding fields, and the historic village of Castellina. After a refreshing dip, guests can soak up the sunshine from a poolside lounger or day bed or head to the pool bar and kitchen for a barbecue lunch or refreshing cocktail.
On the other side of the manicured gardens is a comfortable outdoor lounge area, perfect for indulging in a glass of wine from the villa’s private cellar or cosying around a crackling fire to enjoy an atmospheric film night at the open-air cinema.
Ideal for al fresco feasts at any time of day, there is a spacious dining terrace as well as a tree-shaded table with bench seating in the gardens, both offering vineyard views. These vineyards are a romantic backdrop for an intimate wedding or special event.
This carefully-restored estate retains its traditional charm whilst offering all the modern comforts and amenities expected at a luxury villa. This includes a luxurious spa with a heated indoor-outdoor swimming pool, a sauna, and a hammam for ultimate relaxation.
When it comes to socialising indoors, there is a spacious, open-plan lounge and dine-in kitchen area with beautiful beamed ceilings and tiled floors. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the modern appliances needed to create delicious meals, from casual brunches to elegant evening dinners.
Perfect for families with children, there is also a games room equipped with a pool table, a large screen, and a video games console to provide hours of entertainment.
Up to 19 guests can be accommodated in 10 bedrooms. There are nine rooms with king-size beds and one with a single bed, all with en-suite facilities.
The villa also boasts its own winery just 20 minutes’ drive away. Guests can tour the vineyards, the wine-making cellar, and the hand-carved barrique tunnels – used as bomb shelters during WWII and now home to the wine barrels – then head to the tasting room to sample the wines. The winery also features a modern, seasonal restaurant, ideal for a light lunch, a gala dinner, or a special event.
With its traditional style expertly blended with modern amenities, spacious gardens, and luxurious facilities, Villa il Cellese is an unbeatable choice for a luxury getaway or a memorable special event with loved ones.
