About this villa rental
Villa Marielena is a beautifully restored Tuscan farmhouse located in the prestigious Castel in Villa area of Gaiole in Chianti, one of the most renowned wine regions in Italy. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the villa offers privacy, panoramic views, and direct access to the landscapes that make Chianti famous.
The property enjoys a privileged position for exploring Tuscany’s wine country. The vibrant town of Castelnuovo Berardenga is only 8 km away, while Siena and many of the region’s most celebrated wineries are within easy reach. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while remaining close to excellent restaurants, local trattorias, and Michelin-starred dining.
The villa is set within a fully private garden that surrounds the entire property, creating a peaceful and secluded atmosphere with open views across the rolling hills of Chianti.
Outdoor living is at the heart of the experience here. A traditional Tuscan outdoor kitchen and dining area invite guests to enjoy long dinners under the stars, while the panoramic terraces provide the perfect setting to relax and take in the surrounding landscape.
The villa features a premium heated hot tub for six guests, offering a comfortable and relaxing experience throughout the year. It is refreshing during warm summer days and especially enjoyable in the cooler evenings of spring and autumn, when the Tuscan countryside becomes even more atmospheric.
Villa Marielena combines authentic Tuscan stone architecture with contemporary interiors, creating a comfortable and elegant setting for enjoying the Chianti countryside.
To make your stay even more memorable, a selection of experiences can be arranged:
● Private Car Service: Comfortable transfers and day trips throughout Tuscany.
● Private Local Guide: A licensed guide can meet you directly at the apartment for a private walking tour of Siena.
● Private Dining & Cooking Experiences: Enjoy a private chef dinner prepared directly at the villa, or take part in a hands-on cooking class to learn the secrets of traditional Tuscan cuisine.

● Scenic Bike Tours: Explore the countryside and nearby medieval villages such as Monteriggioni.
Your villa booking includes dedicated support from our local travel experts Francesca and Ambra before, during, and after your stay. Included in your rental rate is a custom pre-arrival itinerary tailored to your personal style, as well as full assistance with extra services and logistics along the way: from airport transfers and private chef to guided wine and bike tours. You’ll also enjoy a smooth, in-person check-in with a dedicated vila representative and 7-day concierge support, giving you total freedom with complete peace of mind.

The place itself is great! Perfect if you want to get away from all the busy cities or small towns and really be out in the Tuscany countryside!
Three rooms and three bathrooms and all the main common space is all together. The fourth bedroom and bathroom are separated by a common wall and that space has its own small kitchen. Worked great for our group of eight (4 couples).
The only thing that could have been better was more control of the hot tub. The owner “locked” the temperature at 32 degrees Celsius I believe, but a little warmer would have been nice. There was no way to change it. But that’s not enough to not give this place five stars!
Plus the owner, Elena, was friendly and great!

Great stay at the Villa!!! In the middle of Olive Trees and Winyard. The house was an excellent place to relax and enjoy the olive trees. Though it was a short visit, it was memorable. A special thanks to the host’s mom who did take care of us during the check in and check out time.

A beautiful farmhouse in a beautiful location. The views from the location were some of the best we’ve had during our trip (I dare say even nicer than Val d’orcia).
The house is freshly renovated with three spacious rooms with views of the rolling hills and olive groves. What sets the place apart from anywhere else though is the sense of immersion one has in the Tuscan nature itself. Almost as if one becomes part and parcel of its very fabric. That, and the warm hospitality of the owners that is the perfect example of Italian kindness and care make this place somewhere to return to again and again.
