Il Piaggione di Serravalle is one of those hidden jems in wine country one imagines all his life!
Handed down from generations, the farmhouse has kept its simple country feel that makes you feel at ease the minute you arrive.
Surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, roses and inhabited with Alberto Inglesi's sculptures, the house has a very special, unique feel.
The high up position on the hills of Vagliagli offers open views over the castles in Chianti classico as far as San Polo in Rosso and Mount Amiata on the other side.
The owners, Camilla and Alberto, are respectively the best Siena tour guide and the most famous contemporary Siena artist. They are very passionate, creative, generous people who love comfort and beauty. They have been restoring the property for the past 5 years and are turning it into a very fine yet rustic boutique spa retreat.
The wellness room hosts a 4 seater Jacuzzi and an infrared sauna in the panoramic loggia which is completely glassed and kept to calidarium temperatures (25-32°). A charming stone staircase leads to the fascinating Turkish steam bath downstairs, elegantly painted by Alberto. The lower ground wellness area also hosts showers, bathroom and a marvellous massage room.
La Nostra is the main and largest apartment at Piaggione and has exclusive access to the wellness area. The farm hosts one more large apartment sleeping up to 6 and an independent barn sleeping up to 4. These two apartments DO NOT have access to the wellness area.
The large gardens and huge panoramic swimming pool ensures all guests have plenty of space to enjoy their privacy. The pool was recently newly paved and a new external hot tub was put in. It offers vertical and horizontal hydrojets as well as a waterfall. It was designed and built by Alberto himself with stone and marvellous new materials for top functionality and amazing pleasure!
The property is on a farming estate producing fabulous Chianti wine, olive oil, fruit, veggies and cured meats. You can see the animals taking a lovely walk down the track in the woods below the property. there are goats, Cinta senese pigs, phaesants, ducks as well as plenty of wildlife!
The house is just 1,5 kms from the village of Vagliagli where you have shops and amenieties.
