What guests are saying about this villa.... “The setting was beautiful and picturesque — on a vineyard in an olive grove. Our setting was so perfect, we could hardly leave each day to see the hill towns.” — DK & RK, Exton, PA

Piccolo Peccioli is located within a two hundred year-old casa colonica — one of several traditional farmhouses on a large Chianti wine estate. The small village of San Vincenzo a Torri, just a mile away, offers the conveniences of a bakery and a grocery store. Montelupo Fiorentino, three miles away, was an important center for ceramic production during the middle ages and the Renaissance, and today visitors to the town can explore its intriguing museum-the Museo Archeologico e della Ceramica. Florence itself is only ten miles away and can be reached by a public bus from a nearby town. The closest train station is in Montelupo (6 km). Although it is possible to use public transportation for some destinations, a car is required at Piccolo Peccioli.

Charming medieval hill towns dot the surrounding landscape-Siena and San Gimignano both make outstanding day trips. To best appreciate the Chianti scenery, follow the SS222, or Strada Chiantigiana-the ancient wine road traversing the countryside between Florence and Siena. The property is also strategically located for forays to the beach, Lucca, Pisa and the Carrara marble quarries. For the sports-minded, a swimming pool, a golf course, tennis courts and horseback riding facilities are all found within easy reach.

Occupying half of a traditional farm cottage, Piccolo Peccioli is built on two floors and enjoys access to a wonderful covered and furnished terrace with an outstanding view of the hilly countryside, olive trees and vineyards. Rustic and comfortable antique-style furnishings set a warm, welcoming tone that is maintained throughout. The sunny living room has a large fireplace and opens directly onto the terrace. The kitchen is bright and tidy, with a dishwasher, and there is a full bathroom with shower on this level.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. A queen-bedded room and a bedroom with twin beds that can be made up separately or together have beautiful views over the hillside. There is also a twin bedded room and a full bathroom with tub. Amenitues include TV, clothes washing machine, window screens in the bedrooms, and parking. A child's bed can be added on request.

Pecciolino occupies the other half of the cottage. Rented together, the two properties are ideal for two families wishing to travel together with separate living quarters. La Casina is on the same estate. The three properties share a large swimming pool with a beautiful view.
