Villa Amarika

This stunning newly restored luxury villa rental is located in the Chianti region of Tuscany, famous for its wines. Just a ten minute drive from the ancient village of Castellina, the villa makes a great central point from which to explore the region. The villa is designed in the traditional Tuscan style with stone walls and a tile roof. Bougainvillea and ivy soften the stone facade while a swimming pool offers a refreshing break from the heat. With seven ensuite bedrooms, a small fitness room, a bocce court, an outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and BBQ, this villa is an ideal choice for a large family or group of friends.

Comfortably yet elegantly furnished and decorated, the interior offers guests all the amenities of a twenty-first century home while maintaining a rustic charm with wooden beams, stone walls and tiled floors. There is a formal dining room, a comfortable lounge area and generous chef eat-in kitchen. Two ensuite bedrooms are located on the first floor and three more ensuite bedrooms are on the ground level. Two additional ensuite bedrooms are located on the first floor in the annex.

Set on three acres, with olive trees and mature trees framing the house, the villa is very private. An outdoor kitchen, BBQ and fire pit make the villa ideal for alfresco entertaining. Wisteria drapes the gnarled vines that give shade to the outdoor dining area, creating a magical space for dining.
