Main Description
Beautifully restored farmhouse set among 50 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and woodlands. Excellent craftsmanship went into the renovation maintaining the unique old-world charm. Of course, the bathrooms and kitchen are up-to-date with all the modern conveniences.
Up to 20 people can easily be accommodated in 10 bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. Heating and cooling are provided for with an in-floor system that circulates hot water in the winter and cool water in the summer.

The wood-burning oven is perfect for cooking your own pizzas! A separate barbecue area located off the main kitchen is also included.

The pool and spa area make this villa an ideal place to come and relax in the Tuscan countryside. The Spa room includes a Jacuzzi and sauna with UV lamp. The pool area is completely furnished with a gazebo area. Relax by the pool and enjoy the view looking over the landscape below.

Villa Rapale is located between the Arezzo and Siena provinces, in a charming position over the Chianti hills, which dominate the beautiful view all around the villa.

Siena is only at 22Km, Arezzo at 34 Km, Florence at 65 Km and Perugia at 90 Km.

In the 13th century a small romanesque parrish was built where today we see the villa, the surrounding territory has been the site of heavy battles between the Siena and the Florence Republic, which finally overtook Siena.

The small Parrish became the reason of fighting between the Siena and the Arezzo Churches, and a stone column is still there indicating the boundaries between the two diocese.

Through the years, the parrish was demolished and in its place a rural centre was built, which was left untouched up to 1960/1965.
Successively it has been abandoned and only in the year 2001 was restructure of the estate started.
The surrounding territory has been the site of heavy battles between the Siena and the Florence Republic, which finally overtook Siena.

Comments from Previous Renters
Villa Rapale is an excellent choice for larger groups of 7-10 couples looking for a relaxing villa in the southeastern Chianti countryside. The location is excellent for exploring Siena, Arezzo, Chianti wine country, Florence and many smaller towns in Tuscany like Montepulciano and Cortona -virtually all within an hours drive or less. It is clean, well kept, with spacious bedrooms that will please every couple. The large dining room and group table was a big plus for social dinners. Michele and his family are gracious hosts. A few things that could be improved upon, but overall highly recommended. Rental Date
