Villa Aurora, a Chianti villa with a natural pool.
A private retreat in the Chianti hills.
Villa Aurora sits in the Chianti countryside near Certaldo, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and rolling Tuscan hills. The setting is private and authentic — a short drive from Florence, San Gimignano and Siena, yet far enough from everything to feel completely your own.
The property accommodates up to 8 guests across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with bright communal spaces, panoramic terraces and a lagoon-style natural pool integrated into the landscape. A private hot tub, an olive grove, and scenic outdoor dining areas complete the property.
Booked exclusively to one group at a time, Villa Aurora is the right base for couples, families, and small groups of friends — designed for slow Tuscan days, long outdoor dinners, and the kind of privacy only a fully reserved villa can offer.
Slow mornings by the natural pool, afternoons in the olive grove, evenings on the terrace as the Chianti hills turn to gold.
Spaces, light, and the view.

Three things that make this stay different.
A natural pool, not a concrete one
The lagoon-shaped pool is integrated into the landscape — surrounded by olive trees, with a hot tub on the side. Reserved exclusively for guests of the property, never shared.
Total privacy, real Chianti
Booked exclusively to one group at a time. The olive grove, the terraces, the gated parking — the entire property is reserved for you, with no shared spaces and no overlapping bookings.
Authentically Tuscan, perfectly placed
Far enough from the road to feel completely private, close enough to Florence, San Gimignano and the Chianti wineries to make day trips easy. Self check-in, private gated parking, fast Wi-Fi.
Curated by MANERI, on request.
