Borgo Gallinaio 32

Descriptif de la Propriété

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of a sweeping 40-hectare estate in Monteriggioni, Tuscany, Italy, Borgo Gallinaio is an extraordinary vacation rental that captures the timeless allure of a 15th-century Tuscan hamlet. Framed by a lush canopy of Turkey oaks, holm oaks, and olive trees, this remarkable property sits within the Sienese Montagnola area and offers direct access to the celebrated Via Francigena. The original architecture of the borgo has been preserved in its entirety, and once through the surrounding walls, guests are welcomed into a grand internal courtyard around which all the residential units are arranged. The estate is ideal for hosting large family reunions, group celebrations, and private events, combining seclusion with proximity to some of the most prestigious destinations in Tuscany. The property benefits from a generous yard spanning approximately 4 hectares, complete with terracotta-paved areas, lawns adorned with tall trees, olive trees, fruit trees, and aromatic herb bushes. A non-heated swimming pool set within the parkland offers a refreshing retreat during the warmer months. High-speed Internet Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and a large dedicated parking area is conveniently located next to the structure, ensuring effortless arrivals and departures for all guests.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Borgo Gallinaio are as generous as they are beautiful, offering a variety of settings for relaxation, dining, and recreation. The park pertaining to the borgo extends for approximately 4 hectares and encompasses terracotta-paved areas furnished with seats and small tables, expansive lawns embellished with tall trees, olive and fruit trees, and dense clusters of aromatic herbs. In the central courtyard, which serves as the social heart of the property, a dedicated outdoor dining area has been arranged with tables and chairs, accompanied by a wood-fired oven and barbecue, making it an ideal setting for convivial gatherings. A large loggia situated a short distance from the courtyard and the terrace on the first floor of the main house provide perfect spaces for relaxation, where guests can sit and take in the sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Beyond the borgo itself, the wider estate encompasses 48 hectares of land distributed among extensive woodland, vast arable fields, meadows, and a large olive grove, all of which can be freely explored on foot or used for sporting activities. The non-heated swimming pool is located in the section of the park that borders the woodland and is surrounded by tall, shady trees. It can be reached from the courtyard via an internal path of approximately 350 metres. Rectangular in shape and measuring 8 by 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, the pool is lined in PVC and bordered by terracotta paving. It is equipped with chlorine purification, a metal ladder for water access, and internal lighting that also illuminates the surrounding area. The adjacent sunbathing lawn is furnished with umbrellas, sunbeds, and a cold-water shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Please be aware that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colours of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
