Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Cottage Dolcevista is a remarkable vacation rental set in the scenic hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Italy. This modern stone farmhouse was born from the eco-conscious restoration of a former 19th-century hay barn, with the renovation carefully preserving original materials such as Chianti stone and exposed wooden beams. The interiors are further enriched with artistic details inspired by the historic Palio di Siena tradition, creating a space that seamlessly blends rustic heritage with contemporary comfort. Perched atop a hill at approximately 600 meters above sea level, the cottage commands breathtaking panoramic views across the Tuscan valleys, stretching as far as Mount Amiata and Mount Cetona. The property sits within a fully-fenced park of approximately 2,000 square meters, offering guests a private and tranquil outdoor environment surrounded by the authentic beauty of the Chianti landscape. A panoramic swimming pool, sunbathing area, and outdoor dining space complete the outdoor offering, while private parking for multiple vehicles is available within the fenced grounds. Wi-Fi internet connectivity ensures guests remain connected throughout their stay, and the property's thoughtfully designed yard, with its ornamental olive trees, medicinal plant beds, and sustainably chosen creeping plants, reflects a genuine commitment to the natural environment.
Outdoors
The grounds of Cottage Dolcevista extend across a gently terraced hillside setting, where outdoor paths, natural stone steps, and organic level changes create a landscape of great charm and privacy. The park, covering approximately 2,000 square meters within a two-metre high perimeter fence, features stony ground adorned with flower beds of medicinal plants and succulents, as well as areas planted with ornamental olive trees. Towards the pool area, a sustainable planting project has introduced singular species of creeping plants suited to dry, sloping soil, helping to minimize water consumption while maintaining the natural beauty of the surroundings. The outdoor dining area, positioned alongside the house, is shaded by an umbrella and offers a comfortable space for alfresco meals. A fixed barbecue is located just a few steps away, making outdoor cooking a natural part of the experience. The above-ground octagonal swimming pool, measuring 6.40 x 3.40 meters with a constant depth of 1.20 meters, is situated approximately 30 meters from the cottage on a lower level, reached via a short sloping path laid with Chianti stones in a distinctive lost steps pattern. The non-heated pool is lined in PVC and equipped with internal lighting, a chlorine purification system, and a wooden ladder for water access. The surrounding solarium area is shaded by oak trees and furnished with sunbeds and deckchairs, while a cold-water shower is conveniently located at the side of the pool. The pool is available from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and the appearance of flowering plants and garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
