The villa

A private villa in the Chianti hills.

Villa Aurora is in the Chianti countryside near Certaldo, among olive groves and vineyards. Certaldo Alto is 10 minutes away by car, San Gimignano 25 and Florence 45. The house is set back from the road, so it stays private.

The villa sleeps up to 8 guests in four bedrooms, with four bathrooms. Inside, the shared rooms are bright and look out on the countryside. Outside there are panoramic terraces, a private hot tub, an olive grove and a lagoon-shaped natural pool set into the landscape.

Villa Aurora is booked exclusively to one group at a time. With four double bedrooms it suits a family or up to four couples travelling together. Nobody else uses the pool or the terraces during your stay.

The natural pool is surrounded by olive trees, with the hot tub on one side. From the terraces you look out over the Chianti hills.
