Blu
This four-poster room is in the fienile, or barn, an ancient building with wooden beamed ceilings and terracotta tiles. Blu has a glorious Tuscan fireplace and retains the original stone walls. Antique furniture, original paintings and luxurious soft furnishings enhance the charm and character of the barn.
On one side of the bedroom, large double doors and shutters open onto a garden with seating area, overlooking the swimming pool, with panoramic views of the Tuscan hills beyond. On the other side, large double shuttered doors open to a courtyard area with seating.
The en suite bathroom used to be the community pizza and bread oven where locals would bring their dough to be baked. As it had collapsed beyond reclamation, it has been sympathetically restored and now has a large walk-in shower, vanity wash basin, toilet and small opening window.

Recently refurbished, we have retained the simple elegance of the look of retro terracotta and white tiles around the 12 x 6m pool, with its graduating steps to slide into the turquoise water. Nestled by dry stone walls flanked with olive trees and terracotta pots, this sun trap area also has shady places under the shelter of oak trees. Magnificent views of the Chianti hills stretch out beyond

Our hamlet is on a white road or strada bianca, one of the many ancient and protected roads that criss-cross the Chianti hills. We are 280m above the village of Greti which is just outside the medieval town of Greve in Chianti. Continue walking up the hill to enjoy the most magnificent views across the valleys and hills, with the Appennini mountains in the distance. Nearby are Montefioralle, Castellina in Chianti, Panzano and Radda, all of which are medieval towns and villages steeped in the history of wine and olive oil making. Our entrance is located at PUFF THINKING FIGS on What3words.
