About this villa rental
Restored from the ruin of a typical Tuscan farmhouse this Podere sits high on a hilltop at 600 meter above sea-level (which means summer nights are just perfect outside). The Main House sleeps 10 and the Studio (called Capanna) is about 60m away from the Main House and sleeps 2. They can be rented separately or together, a total of 12 guests.
Podere Scopeto overlooks woods, vineyards and the medieval towns of Radda and Castellina. The nearest town is Gaiole (15 min) in the triangle of Siena, Florence and Arezzo. It is in the middle of the Gallo Nero classic wine region with Brolio, Castello Meleto, Coltibuono on your doorstep. We have a large saltwater pool (5m x 14 m) with spacious sun terraces and pergolas which offer our guests boyant relaxation, but for the more energetic there are miles of woods and hills to walk in beyond the 30 privately owned acres surrounding the house. It has a huge BBQ with enough chairs and tables to seat 12-18 comfortably on the three terraces. More secluded hammocks and picnic places are dotted around the property under the shade of our olives and sweet chestnuts. We have reliable crystal clear water from our own well and faultless heating and plumbing system. Our bathrooms are modern and work perfectly and every bed- and bathroom has at least one anti-mosquito screen in a window. 2 fireplaces cheer our winter visitors. From the main road you drive 2 and a half km through the woods on an un-tarmaced road which is not suitable for low-slung vehicles, caravans or bikes but fine for normal cars driven slowly. We are happy to let you stay for the annual 'Eroica' traditional bike-race in October though, which takes place every year in Gaiole.
The Main House sleeps 10 plus a child in a small child's bed which normally serves as a small sofa in one of the bedrooms. If only the farmhouse is rented and not the studio you may find strangers about 60 metres away in the studio who share the pool and parking area with you.

We had a real great time here.It was a group of 8 people and everyone was amazed in total. The landscape, the view, the house, the pool. We could really relax and calm down had great evenings.Marina informed us about everything before an everything was prepared when we arrived.The road was as discribed and after doing it 2 times it was no problem for everyone. We all hope to come here another time! BR Marti

The property is outstanding! Scopeto is a magical place. The house/villa is huge- 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms- 2 en suites. It's well appointed. The property is beautiful and the pool is huge. The owner was so easy to work with. She was very communicative and helpful. I wish I had taken the warnings about the road more seriously. It is hard to convey the difficulty of the driveway/road to the villa. It is barely a road. We had a mid-sized SUV and every time we went in and out it was a mission in survival! The property is ideal for a large group who is looking to R&R in the Chianti countryside. If you plan to site see, visit wineries, etc. I would look for something more centrally located as the roads in Chianti are all small and curvy- taking quite sometime to get to places that seem like they are close by. We will do it differently next time and use our time at Scopeto to just relax and make great meals, taking everything we need on the first drive in!

Place was fantastic. The journey there was not clear (instead of the word document, a statement that it’s near Castelle in Chiantiapartments, would be better). People use Google maps these days, so just need something simple for aim for. The driveway from the Main Street to the property was treacherous/dangerous and needs to be made clear from the property listing about the right vehicle needed (rather than a WhatsApp message after we had already hired our cars). Once we got to the property it was brilliant. The driveway and finding the property were the only things that detracted from how good the property is.

We spend a week at Scopetto (7 adults and 4 children) and would recommend it to everyone looking for a secluded getaway with authentic charm and amazing surroundings.
The house is quite impressive and has a lot of unique and charming details. Both Marina and Stefano were very helpful and accommodating in every aspect.
Be sure to read Marina´s instructions as they are both detailed and valuable - especially when arriving by car.
DO NOT underestimate the need for a vehicle with some offroad capability. If you plan on taking your low suspension Porsche, you will NOT reach the house. We recommend a 4X4 or something along those lines.
All in all, a great experience which we would happily repeat.
