About this property
Luxury converted barn with hilltop views in chianti wine region, Tuscany
The Barn at Bagnaie is a luxury 3-bedroom Tuscan villa, which we have modernised and furnished to a high standard. The interior mixes traditional materials with Italian modern design. The large living room features an open log fireplace, original terracotta tiles and wooden doors leading out onto the south terrace and gardens. There is a separate kitchen/dining area fitted with marble worktops and equiped with all the utensils a serious food lover needs to be able to enjoy local market produce and Le Bagnaie's kitchen garden. There are also double doors from the kitchen leading out to the terrace and the vine-covered pergola. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms which all have their own private ensuite bathrooms. These have all been fitted with Italian marble tiles and powerful rain head showers. All the bedrooms have wonderful views out over the beautiful hills and vines surrounding the house. The villa's private landscaped garden - rich with cherry, pomegranate and fig trees and with a built-in BBQ - surrounds the property and enjoys 360-degree views of the countryside, including the distant Duomo of Siena to the south and the towers of San Gimignano to the west. Our villa sits in the small hamlet of Bagnaie, where we share our hilltop with 7 other houses. We have a full time gardener who maintains the extensive gardens and grounds as well as the shared 20m pool, which is solar heated. There is also a tennis court can be used all year round and a boules pitch. We have a swing and play area for kids on the site. Well behaved pets are welcome. We have a local property manager (English and Italian speaking) who will be available during your stay to assist you where necessary. We can arrange for our local cook, Serena to come and make you an authentic home cooked meal at the house. She will cook using local and seasonal produce, often from our kitchen garden or her own garden from the nearby village. She will conjure up a 4-5 course meal for you while you can sit on the terrace and watch the sun set or enjoy a candle lit meal under the stars. She will serve you dinner and do all the washing up as well!

A beautiful place in the heart of Chianti. Definitely off the beaten path, so need a vehicle to get there. Close to good wineries. Castellini in Chianti was a quaint village to shop at and eat in. Pool was nice, but wasn’t heated, so couldn’t take advantage of it in late April. Dinner with Serena was worth it.
The house and the setting were beautiful. Corin was a wonderful and communicative host before and during the stay. Her recommendations were excellent - we had Serena make us a wonderful dinner on our first night and everyone loved it. The location was great for getting to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, etc. The house is off a long gravel road, which adds some time to all of the drives, but the location is well worth it.
One of the best vrbo we have experienced. The location was perfect to explore the Tuscany Chianti region. Host was accommodating and had the best recommendations from restaurants to vino!
Loved cooking in the kitchenLoved the outside, couldn’t have been more comfortable!Loved the view!!My only problem was the lighting - dining/living room was dark, bathroom and bedroom too.And we had a problem with beetle bugs!
I wish we could have stayed longer; such a beautiful location. The villa was very nice and comfortable. We enjoyed meals prepared by Serena twice during our visit; she cooked multi-course dinners that were delicious. Highly recommend the property and Serena’s cooking. We look forward to going back!
The barn was the perfect Tuscan escape. To return back to the property after short day adventures through the Tuscan hills, or just to spend the day on the property, and by the pool, playing tennis, reading, sketching, the occasional nap, only to pull from the garden to help prepare dinner. The sunsets wound down the day and the views never get old!We lived our best lives in the Tuscan hills and couldn’t be more thankful for it!
Really enjoyed the property and views. As an option, having Serena prepare meals was a great decision. She was just a fantastic as her cooking. The place was clean, well maintained and just what we were looking for. Owner was very helpful and responsive too. Definitely a property I plan to stay at again.
Everything about our stay was perfect - the house was absolutely incredible and the view was unmatched. Serena was the best part of our stay. Her food was incredible and she was a joy to have around. The best dining experience we had in all of Tuscany! We will definitely be referring all of our friends to this home and hope to come back many more times ourselves.
The property is actually undersold on the website. Such incredible views and beauty it is hard to capture in the limited photos. Location excellent, accommodation’s excellent, great place to relax, cook and drink wine with family and friends. Having Serena cook for you is an absolute must! Can’t wait to come back!
Comfortable home amid lovely gardens and spectacular views. It’s just as pictured. Loved being able to eat straight from the garden or be pampered by Serema’s excellent cooking. I wanted to bring the estate kitty, Gino, home with me but he’s already living his best life at this truly singular estate
Serenity, Beautiful views and the cherry on top was a stellar meal cooked by Serena. DO NOT miss that opportunity. It will be a highlight of y our experience. This was the perfect location to visit so many other amazing parts of the Tuscany and Umbria region. What more could one ask for? 5 stars!
We had the chance to spend 9 nights at the Barn. This place is beautiful and you feel at home. You will have fun contemplating the landscape and the sunsets from the terrace. We are traveling with two young children and we had access to two bassinets and high chairs. The bath also very useful with young children. We recommend this place which is very strategically placed to discover many of the attractions of Tuscany. We recommend and can't wait to come back!
We absolutely loved our stay at picturesque Le Bagnaie and hope to return. The property is breathtaking with panoramic views. The home is clean, comfortable and decorated with charm. The owner and the property manager are attentive and responsive to questions. We thoroughly enjoyed having Serena cook for us one evening and highly recommend it. We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful experience during our trip to Italy. Grazie mille to the owners for sharing their beautiful home!
This is one of those conflicted reviews. I’d like to keep Le Bagnaie secret so we can book in future but I can’t resist posting about the experience. I can’t fault anything about the stay. The check in instructions were easy, property is well appointed and spotless, spectacular views, great pool and beautiful district. We drove around the surrounding towns and wineries. The meal from Serena was a real highlight. We didn’t want to leave
The stay at the Bagnaie was perfect. The location is the best for visiting the surrounding area. This is our third trip to Tuscany and we enjoyed this place the best. The pictures online does not do the views justice. Dinner on the patio area overlooking Tuscany at sunset is amazing. Book Serena to prepare meals for you. JUST DO IT! She is wonderful to come back to after a long day of touring and eat her delicious cuisine and watch the Tuscan sun slowly set from the patio. Perfection. The owner answered all my questions so quickly. We had an excellent week in Tuscany. It just went by too fast.
I stayed at the Barn with my elderly parents, my sister, my husband, and our 7-year-old son. The property accommodated all of us beautifully (although if there is more than one couple in your group you'll need to negotiate about who gets the lovely master bedroom!). Note that all bedrooms and bathrooms are located upstairs. The entire property is peaceful and serene, with gorgeous views of the countryside and surrounding vineyards. It wasn't quite warm enough for pool use during our stay, but this would be quite an asset during the summer months. We booked Serena for a dinner, which I highly recommend! She was professional, friendly, and efficient, and her food was delicious. Property manager Jacky checked in on us and had some great suggestions for local day trips. Overall, I recommend this property.
Our stay was delightful in The Barn. It is located down a 2 mile dirt (“white”) road, but has spectacular views of the Tuscan hills and vineyards. Corin, the property owner, was very helpful with suggestions, answered questions asked and responded to inquiries quickly. Jacky, the property manager, was also helpful. There is a fairly large community pool immediately adjacent to the property; it can be somewhat crowded at times, but is well maintained by the full time maintenance man, Cosimo. All bedrooms and bathrooms are on the upper floor; having a bathroom on the main floor would have been handy, but the layout was very workable nonetheless. While we were there, temperatures reached 90F; all bedrooms have ceiling fans and are supplied with an additional portable fan, which helps in such weather, but air conditioning would have been ideal. One absolute bright spot was Serena; Corin suggested we consider having her cook for us and it was one of the best things we could have done. She is an absolute doll and her food is fantastic! We would highly recommend her—if you have her come but once, you will be disappointed you didn’t have her come more often. She is very popular and booking her in advance would be highly recommended…
I spent 6 days in October in the Barn, along with my husband and two other couples (ages 50 -72). The house itself was perfect for us. We did lots of cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, and used the wood BBQ outside most days as well. Serena cooked a meal for us and it was amazing. The living room also had ample room, and we used the wood fireplace a couple of nights, which was lovely in October. The house has 3 bedrooms, each with an ensuite, which was important for us and not easy to find. All the beds and baths are upstairs, which could be an issue for some travellers, but it worked for us.
The views are spectacular! We planned to use the barn as a base to explore the area, but we ended up spending most of our time on the property because it was so lovely. We used the pool most days. The Barn is the closest home to the pool, but there were not many other guests in the other homes, so it was pretty quiet. That may not be the case in a busier season, but there is plenty of distance and trees between the pool and the Barn, so it is very private.
The nearest town is about a 15 minute drive, so we did our grocery shopping there.
We spent 2 weeks in 3 locations in Tuscany and this location and home was the best of them all. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities one would need. We would love to come back and would surely recommend it!
