Fabulous Rental Series:

Beauty and Peace Amongst the Vineyards

in Chianti

I am thrilled to announce that I am officially opening a new division of my company called Bella Vita Italia Rentals. There will be about 25-30 wonderful properties to choose from located in the Italian Riviera, Chianti, the Lucca hills, Forte dei Marmi and the Maremma (Tuscan coast).

I thought I would introduce you to one of my newest properties, Villa Rupoli, which I think is very special and perfect for anyone looking for that “Under the Tuscan Sun” experience! Here it goes...

Just a few kilometers outside of the charming hill town of Panzano, Villa Rupoli is a gorgeous home with private pool, situated upon landscaped grounds with several terraces and gardens, and panoramic views of Chianti countryside. The villa is about 350 m² and was restored to a very high standard using top-quality, local materials.

On the ground floor you will find a fully equipped kitchen, spacious and bright dining room which opens to the large living room with Tuscan fire place and the panoramic terrace, a studio, a sitting room with fire place, one full bathroom with shower plus a laundry and storage room (separate entrance).

On the 1st floor, there are 3 air-conditioned bedrooms and two bathrooms (one of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom).

Below, on the garden/terrace level, there is another kitchen leading out to a beautiful garden with covered terrace and lovely views for dining al fresco, plus a storage room and full bathroom with shower.

One level below, you will find the infinity swimming pool strategically positioned to appreciate the surrounding vistas, offering the perfect place for sunning and relaxation.

The property is approached by a private gravel road through woodland and vines.

Amenities included: daily cleaning service 3 hours a day, towels changes 3 times a week, bed linens changed twice a week, cold welcome dinner, ingredients for the first breakfast, satellite TV, Internet, air conditioning & final cleaning included in rental price.

You can read all about Villa Rupoli and see more photos on my web site (FYI - new, fancy web site coming later this year!).

Let me know what you think!
