Villa Pinetta set independently in a 13th century stone hamlet perched on a hill top of a privately owned estate of more than 260 acres, consisting of vineyards, olive groves and woodland.

A most serene and peaceful haven from which to spend an unforgettable holiday in Chianti, just 15 minutes from Siena.
Nearest shops and a very good restaurant at Pianella, 1.5km/1 mile.
The villa is a truly wonderful location to visit San Gimignano, Montalcino and Florence, which are all witin easy reach, about 1 hour.
You can see the famous Crete Senesi, Florence, Cortona, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Peruga, San Gimignano and Pienza, easily reachable by car. Rome can also be reached in two hours.
