La Casa del Chiu’ is a serene red brick farmhouse and converted barn nestled in the Valdichiana with a private swimming pool, air-conditioned bedrooms and plenty of outdoor space for a family getaway. Swathes of vivid green countryside surround the villa, which looks out across a dramatic backdrop of Tuscan hills, while stone pines and cypress trees offer guests ample privacy and seclusion. You can even see Cortona lit up at night and twinkling away on its hilltop in the near distance. Inviting guests to enjoy a slower-paced side of Italy, there is a pharmacy, pizzeria and greengrocer just 500m away, with plenty of local trattorias also on the doorstep.
Originally built in the 1930s, it is hard to believe that La Casa del Chiu’ was a working farmhouse until the early 1960s. The ground floor, which was once a cosy home for some of the region’s famous Chianina cattle (think Bistecca alla Fiorentina!) is now a bright open-plan living space that flows seamlessly together. The neighbouring barn conversion that was once a storage space for hay is now a lofty studio and function room for a calming morning yoga session or even an in-villa art retreat.
The main approach to the villa is marked by steps that lead up from a large parking area and garage. Wrap around French doors open up onto each of the main ground floor living spaces and flood the farmhouse with light. The main entrance is sheltered by a pretty vine-covered pergola which provides plenty of shade for the spacious al fresco lounge and casual dining area, the perfect spot for evening antipasti or a sociable lunchtime respite from the summer sun.
