Outdoors
The garden surrounding Villa delle Upupe adapts gracefully to the natural slope of the terrain, seamlessly merging with the vineyards, woods, and hills that form its picturesque boundaries. Lavender bushes, wild roses, jasmine, strawberry trees, aromatic herbs, and borders of rosemary frame the dry stone walls and short stone paths, creating a fragrant and visually stunning outdoor environment. A panoramic pergola positioned just outside the living room French windows provides an ideal setting for relaxing in the shade and enjoying the sweeping views of the Chianti hills, particularly at sunset. The rectangular swimming pool, which is non-heated, is located behind the villa on lower terracing and is reached by descending a few steps near the pergola. Lined in grey PVC, it measures 3 x 9 metres with a depth ranging from 1.40 to 1.60 metres, and features 3 steps for easy water access along with a chlorine purification system. The sunbathing area surrounding the pool combines stone paving and lawn, and is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas. Dry stone walls and a thick screen of vines provide natural enclosure on either side, enhancing the sense of privacy. A cold-water outdoor shower is also available. The pool is accessible from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
