Villa Clio is a traditional Chianti stone farmhouse finely restored with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a fabulous position and wonderful views. The towers of San Gimignano can be seen in the distance on a clear day.

Located in the Chianti hills near Poggibonsi, halfway between Florence and Siena, Villa Clio has been transformed by the present owners into a beautiful countryside residence thanks to an attentive restoration.  Its position makes a superb base for excursions to the surrounding vineyards and medieval hamlets of the area.  The antique Tuscan traditions are all there but they have been even more refined by the choice of color and materials used.   Many of the floors are laid with terracotta tiles.  The solid chesnut beams are original and have been left natural as have the wooden floors.  The fabrics, stone walls and furnishings all create a harmonious picture and produce an atmosphere of light, brightness and freshness throughout the house.

The house is tastefully furnished combining charm and tradition with contemporary comfort. The living areas are furnished with high-quality fabrics, antiques, fine custom linens and tableware.  The large state-of-the-art kitchen leads onto a terrace and includes a stove, large refrigerator with icemaker, freezer, stove, oven and dishwasher.  The beautifully laid out and well-tended garden rolls gently downward from the house toward the swimming pool, which is situated in a panoramic position with expansive views over the Tuscan countryside. There is an abundance of high quality outdoor furniture and a covered loggia overlooking the swimming pool (7m X 14m) provides shade for relaxing and outside dining.   Here there is a refrigerator, changing room,  bathroom with shower and a sauna.  Other Villa Clio amenities include fast internet, air conditioning, fireplace, internet, barbeque, washing machine, stereo and satellite television.
