Description

La Macinaia – Luxury Air-Conditioned Villa on an Organic Wine Estate in Chianti Classico
Discover La Macinaia, a beautifully restored 17th-century Tuscan villa set within an active, family-owned organic wine estate between Gaiole in Chianti and Castelnuovo Berardenga. Surrounded by the estate's own vineyards, olive groves, woodland and sweeping panoramic countryside views, La Macinaia is one of the most sought-after luxury villa rentals in Chianti, offering the perfect blend of authentic Tuscan character and contemporary comfort. It is ideal for families, groups of friends and wine enthusiasts seeking privacy and a genuine experience in the heart of Chianti Classico.

Highlights
Fully Air-Conditioned. All bedrooms in both the main villa and the annex are equipped with air-conditioning, along with key common areas such as the dining room — a rare and highly sought-after feature for a villa of this historic character, ensuring a cool, comfortable stay throughout even the warmest Tuscan summers.

Private Heated Saltwater Pool. Relax by the large private saltwater swimming pool (12m x 6m), complete with an electric safety cover. Pool heating is available on request at an additional cost, extending the swimming season into the cooler months.

Organic Wine Estate. La Macinaia is part of a working, family-owned organic estate producing its own organic Chianti Classico wine and organic olive oil. Guests can arrange exclusive private cellar visits and wine tastings — an authentic experience for wine lovers and a rare opportunity to connect with the land the villa sits on.

Outdoor Living. Enjoy carefully maintained gardens, a panoramic enclosed veranda for alfresco dining, a built-in barbecue, a private pétanque court and a vegetable garden where guests can pick fresh, home-grown produce during their stay.

Optional Services. Private chef services, cooking classes and other personalised experiences can be arranged through the villa manager at an additional cost, for a truly immersive Tuscan culinary experience.

Elegant Accommodation for up to 16 Guests
La Macinaia comfortably accommodates 10 guests as standard, with the possibility of sleeping up to 12 in the main house and annex together. The main house and annex offer elegant bedrooms spread across the main villa, including a stunning master suite, complemented by a study, sitting room, TV room and an air-conditioned dining room. For larger groups, the main house can be rented together with an additional smaller house, which sleeps a further four guests and includes its own kitchen corner and terrace with beautiful views; an adjoining children's room provides four additional bunk beds. When only the main house is rented, the smaller house remains closed, ensuring complete privacy for guests.
