Description
The property
Among the most authentic hills of Chianti , where time passes slowly and the light draws geometric patterns on the ancient stones , stands “Archi e Pietra”: a farmhouse that combines the charm of Tuscan tradition with the lightness of contemporary details . Here, the countryside is not just landscape, but a living presence, entering the house through large arched openings, transforming every room into a natural picture.
Interior details
Spanning approximately 285 square meters on multiple levels, the residence offers generous spaces and rooms designed for everyday living and hospitality. Two large living rooms , a convivial kitchen, five bedrooms, and six bathrooms , as well as several utility rooms, reflect the rich textures of the original materials— exposed beams, terracotta floors —reinterpreted in a contemporary style. Arched windows amplify the light and views, creating a harmonious continuity between interior and exterior.
Exterior details
A garden of approximately 1,000 square meters surrounds the house in a peaceful setting of greenery, with panoramic terraces where the sun lingers longer. Beyond this are approximately seven hectares of diverse land . The heart of the outdoor space is the dramatic swimming pool , with its soft lines and dark bottom that reflects the sky and hills: a touch of design that interacts with nature without overwhelming it.
Position
Away from the noise , yet close to everything that matters. The village of Castellina in Chianti is just minutes away, Siena is about 20 km away, and Florence is less than an hour's drive. An ideal location for those seeking the tranquility of Chianti without sacrificing convenience.
Light in the frame
Not just windows, but eyes wide open onto the countryside. The arches that punctuate the façade transform light into architecture and the landscape into a living work of art. Through these openings, the Chianti wine enters the house unfiltered: in the morning it colors the rooms a pale gold, at sunset it fills them with warm reflections, while at night it reflects in the glass like a secret. This is the detail that makes "Archi amp; Pietra" a place where every day becomes a story.
