Studio in Chianti Villa in heart of Tuscany, super-large pool, 14 ha property

Restored from the ruin of a typical Tuscan farmhouse, Podere Scopeto sits high on a hilltop at 600 meter above sea-level (which means summer nights are just perfect outside). Scopeto overlooks woods, vineyards and the medieval towns of Radda and Castellina. The nearest town is Gaiole (20 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. The Capanna has a small BBQ. We have reliable crystal clear water from our own well and faultless heating and plumbing system. From the main road you drive 2,5 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 Capanna has a large sitting room with table seating four and concrete kitchen table running the length of the south-facing window which slides open with traditional brick lattice screen and view of the green jungle-like woods, cosy in winter and cool in the hot summer months. The double bed (135cm wide) is on a balcony surrounded by shelves in which to store clothes. Chinese screens close the walled cupboard. The bathroom has concrete shower floor with large shower-head and concrete table with Philippe Starck basin. Through the window you see the oval-shaped concrete table outside waiting for a large party of people to enjoy their meal shaded by an old chestnut tree with the olive grove beyond and the pool on a higher terrace. Play your favourite music resounding as in this mini concert hall and enjoy the wood-burning stove crackling in winter while you relax on winter evenings after a day exploring the area.

Remote location
The property's location is much more remote than advertised.. We booked it as we were attending a wedding close to Gaiole and the property description says "15 minutes from Gaiole". The 2.5 km forest road took at least 10 min to get to the main road and from there it's a minimum of 20 min to Gaiole ( if you drive Italian style). No taxi or transportation company will go to the property, so forget having a drink somewhere in town. Also, no wifi at the property and the cellular reception is also on and off. We left after one night as it was too far from anything. No word from owner

Secret hideaway in a beautiful chestnut forest...
I loved this open plan, spacious ‘Capanna’ .It was tastefully furnished with a cosy simplicity and rustic style. Great imaginative touches like the huge stone work bench in the kitchen, mezzanine bedroom and the wood burning stove made me want to stay there for ever! Not to mention the wonderful grounds with a large pool and quaint lounging area... everywhere was well maintained and carefully considered.And to top it off it was hidden away in a huge sweet chestnut forest. A wonderful place to stay !

Ruhige Toskana
Marina, Tom und ihre Familie waren super Gastgeber. Für jeden der auf absolute Abgeschiedenheit wert legt ist die Unterkunft perfekt. Nach einer Auffahrt in die toskanischen Hügel fährt man einen nicht befestigten Weg durch den örtlichen Dschungel, an dessen Ende sich die Einfahrt zum Anwesen befindet. Unbedingt ein Fahrzeug mit größerer Bodenfreiheit mitbringen! Vom Haupthaus gehen mehrere kleine Wege zum süß renovierten Capanna. An der Unterkunft hatten wir die 10 Übernachtungen nichts auszusetzen. Scopeto bietet sich aufgrund seiner Lage auch perfekt an für Tagesausflüge in die toskanischen Städte. Die "creepy crawlers" wie sie in der Beschreibung genannt wurden waren auch kein Problem und haben sich bei unserem Besuch wirklich in Grenzen gehalten. Alles in Allem können wir die Unterkunft unbedingt weiterempfehlen.

Bed Bugs + centipede invasion - Nice Area in the middle of nowhere but not a clean property
It’s a nice place with a nice pool, the road to go there is a bit bumpy but can be done easy. Next supermarket is 20 min away. The apartment was in a ok cleaned condition. As soon as it got dark it started that centipede went out of there places and being everywhere at the walls. You could not see them on daytime. We left after 3 nights from 6 booked ones, after we got bites from bed bugs everywhere on our feets. Afterwards we discussed with the owner about cash back due to that we could/would not stay anymore with the bites and got only 1/3 of the money back. Worst holidays in our life and didnt get the money back for the nights we couldn’t stay due to bed bugs….

Kurzzeitig im Paradies
Das Haus liegt abgelegen und ist über eine sehr holperige Schotterstraße zu erreichen. Bei Ankunft wird man mit absoluter Ruhe und romantischem, toskanischen Flair belohnt! Im Vorfeld hatten wir schon Kontakt zum Vermieter, es gab wertvolle Tips und fühlte sich vertraut an. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bestimmt wieder !!! Für jemand der Urlaub ohne großen Trubel in der Natur suchten genau richtig !!! Wir sind ungern abgereist, aber leider endet jeder Urlaub einmal !!!

ultieme rust in unieke 'capanna' & huis
Zeer bijzondere en onvergetelijke plek om heerlijk tot rust te komen. Aan (of in) het geweldige zwembad, of elders op het ruime terrein onder één van de vele kastanjebomen. We hebben het geluk gehad om bij aankomst de eigenaars zelf te treffen die ons een warm en persoonlijke welkom gaven. De eerste paar dagen verbleven wij in de Capanna, wat werkelijk een 'pareltje' genoemd mag worden en onze verwachtingen overtrof. En de laatste avond hebben wij het 'geluk' gehad het Main House (dat te huur is voor grotere groepen) te kunnen bekijken en bij wijze van uitzondering van een Toscaans diner met de eigenaars hebben mogen genieten. Marina zou er evt. ook nog een B&B van kunnen maken ;-) Vanaf deze plek zijn diverse stadjes en grotere plaatsen in 30-60 min te bereiken. De laatste 2,5km over het onverharde berg(grind)pad naar de woning(en) garanderen deze oase van absolute rust. De ondergaande zon boven de Toscaanse heuvels en 's nachts een fantastische sterrenhemel, met alleen het geroep van een uil af en toe, hebben bijgedragen aan onze heerlijke tijd van onthaasten. Een absolute aanrader voor stellen, of (kleine) groepen die op zoek zijn naar een idyllisch, afgelegen huis(je) en echt de rust zoeken.
