Located in the heart of Tuscany between Florence and Siena, Chianti is one of the most celebrated wine regions in the world. Rolling vineyards, cypress-lined ridges, and stone hamlets define its landscape, while centuries of winemaking tradition shape its identity.
Viticulture here dates back to the Etruscans and Romans, and during the Renaissance, the Medici family formalized the region’s reputation, investing in estates and promoting Chianti wines across Europe. Today, the Chianti Classico designation reflects strict production standards and a continued commitment to quality.
Chianti villa rentals allow you to experience this heritage from within the countryside itself. Rather than visiting for a tasting or day trip, you wake among vineyards, dine outdoors overlooking olive groves, and return each evening to your own private estate.
Rental Escapes curates a collection of Chianti villas selected for their architectural character, panoramic settings, and service level, offering a refined base for exploring one of Tuscany’s most iconic regions within Italy.
Like the region itself, Chianti estates are steeped in history. Restored farmhouses with stone walls, terracotta roofs, and expansive terraces are common throughout the countryside. At the same time, many properties incorporate modern amenities such as heated pools, private gyms, gourmet kitchens, and full staff support.
Villas are spread across the region’s most desirable villages, including Greve, often considered the gateway to Chianti; Panzano, known for its culinary reputation; Castellina, with its Etruscan roots; Radda, encircled by medieval walls; and Radicondoli, a serene hilltop retreat.
Wherever you stay, panoramic vineyard views and fresh countryside air define the experience. Dedicated Concierge service ensures each stay is both seamless and personalized.
