Villa Oratorio is a classic stone farmhouse going back to 1500. It started out as a chapel and in 1876 underwent its first transformation into a farmhouse. Today, thanks to a careful renovation, the house has been transformed into a lovely country residence. Villa Oratorio is part of the old Lilliano estate, close to Castellina in Chianti, standing on a hill, where you can take in a beautiful panorama of Chianti near Siena as far as the medieval towers of Monteriggioni. Large, furnished external spaces surround the house, with no borders with the surrounding countryside. There is a nice loggia with a table and barbecue, a 7x14m irregular-shaped swimming-pool with toilette and dressing-room. Access is along 200 metres of untarred road. There is parking within the grounds. The furnishings are simple and very comfortable. Air-conditioning on the first floor. There is a laundry with washing-machine. On request to be paid on the premises: extra hours of domestic help, cook, bed- and bath-linen changes during the week, guided tasting of wines in the medieval wine-cellars and of olive-oil produced by the farm, typical local buffet dinners to try local products, organized by the farm once a week. A cot for children is available.
