Your Perfect Tuscan Villa Rental Awaits

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Relax and settle into a different rhythm at Podere Erica, our family’s farmhouse in Chianti.

View of the house with surrounding vineyards and forest

Podere Erica is perfectly located for exploring the quaint hilltop towns in Chianti as well as Florence, Greve, Siena, San Gimignano or Volterra. You can walk to the charming village of San Donato in Poggio, explore local wineries, or just “stay home” and enjoy the pool, the wood-burning pizza oven, the beautiful woods, cooking classes or lessons on wine tasting. Get to know the real Italy!

Massimo loves to roast meat in the wood-burning oven

Our family would love to share this special place with you. See more photos and a complete description of the property at www.chiantivacation.com

While the farmhouse is over 800 years old, we have recently remodeled the entire house. You can see Massimo’s handiwork throughout the house – from the gorgeous stone tile in the bathrooms to a rustic kitchen hood, salvaged from the previous ancient fireplace. Throughout the remodel, we made every effort to retain the authentic rustic Tuscan charm of the house.

There are still a few weeks available for this rental season so book now! For availability and rates, contact Jan Dempsey.

The pool is adjacent to the house and overlooks the surrounding forest.
