About this villa rental

Located in Castellina in Chianti in Tuscany, Italy, 'Isola Serena' is a beautiful private luxury villa on 4 acres of land with the most breathtaking views in the Tuscan countryside. Overlooking Siena and covered in vineyards, olive groves, and captivating forestry, this brand new villa just finished restoration in June 2014 and recently expanded in 2023 to include 2 additional guesthouses. The property now has a total of 10 bedrooms and can sleep up to 23 people, making this one of the biggest villas in Chianti and a self-contained private resort. The villa was restored by local Italians of the highest standard to maintain the Tuscan culture, artisanal tradition, and craftsmanship, whilst complemented by modern furniture and contemporary amenities.

Some of the finest quality local materials that were used include hand-made terra cotta floors, Italian marble and travertine for the terraces and bathrooms, chestnut windows and doors, and walnut for the kitchen and library.

The main house is 440 sq metres (4500 sq ft) with 6 bedrooms and all ensuite bathrooms and a library which can be used as a proper bedroom. It includes a large terrace overlooking the countryside, a beautiful brand new large 66 x 13 ft private infinity pool, a small plunge pool, multiple barbeque areas, a newly built children's playground with enclosed sandbox onsite, a gym, full kitchen, dining room, library, free WIFI, satellite TV, and all modern amenities that are perfect for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing.

In 2023, we recently expanded the property to also include 2 additional beautiful private guesthouses (each guesthouse is 600 sq ft) with each guesthouse having two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. 1 guesthouse has one bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and kitchenette, and adjacent to it, there is a second separated bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The 2nd guesthouse is a private house with two bedrooms that each have ensuite bathrooms, a kitchen, and a TV area.

We were a group of 23, ranging from 18-70. We used Isola Serena as our base to take day trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena and the location is perfect. The Villa is simply a dream come true. Everything you can read about it is far from what you will experience. The rooms, the kitchen, the pools, and the insane terrace view is one we will never forget. Then the attention from the online booking from the Kalen Property team to the onsite personal attention with Rafaella who was always on top of everything made this perfect. Don’t hunk about it.. book this beautiful Villa and enjoy a Tuscan life! You will remember it forever.. I know we will. Grazie!

We can highly recommend this villa. Well placed close to a charming little village, nice bedrooms and living rooms, a great pool and a fantastic view. A wonderful place for a big group of people, in our case our entire family. The local host, Rafaella, is very helpfull and nice.

We looked at many properties, both online and during a December visit to Chianti. This villa was by far best location we found. Everything was perfect, from our communication with Serena, to the reception by Raffaella, and then a stay in an amazing villa in an amazing setting. We were a group of maximum 9 persons, ranging in age from 20 to 60, and all were pleased with the amenities, especially watching the sunset across the vineyards and hills of Tuscany from the terrace. We will be looking to come back, maybe in the fall when the grapes have been picked and the tourists have all left for home. Bravo!

We cannot recommend this villa highly enough!! There are no words to fully describe the beauty of Isola Serena. The main villa & new guesthouses, along with the outdoor spaces, were so thoughtfully and beautifully restored - the property was both luxurious and authentic to Tuscan style. It was easily the most beautiful place we have ever had the opportunity to stay, with views that almost seemed like they couldn't be real! The hosts, Serena and Peter, were so kind and communicative before & during our stay. They provided an extensive list of recommendations - each one we visited was excellent! We especially loved our private dinners @ home with Chefs Andrea & Paola. Raffaella, the property manager, was so kind and showed us around the villa at check in. Both Raffaella and Serena were quickly available for any questions we had throughout our stay. Castellina was a perfect location - we loved driving into town each morning and visiting many of the local restaurants and wineries (which were spectacular). It was also a central location to adventure out to Firenze, Montalcino, and Montepulciano (all within about 1 hour or less). Even in April, we loved lounging by the infinity pool - it was straight out of a magazine! Sunsets were completely picturesque from the upper patio. Every night, we used the smaller pool which was perfectly heated to serve as a hot tub. Thank you SO much, Serena, Peter & Raffaella - you made Castellina feel like home, and we can't wait to return!!

Our stay at Isola Serena was an unforgettable experience! The villa was very clean and the private gym and infinity pool are fantastic perks, especially after a day of sightseeing to nearby towns, cities, and vineyards, all of which were in great proximity to the villa. The property is perfect for large groups of families or friends, as every bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there is 1 main house and 2 guesthouses, so everyone could still have some privacy while still being together. It is also very kid-friendly as the villa has a children's playground and sandbox, so the kids kept themselves busy as well as spent time in the large infinity pool and small plunge pool. The owners were excellent and made booking very easy as they answered all of our questions, gave us many great recommendations, and their onsite local property manager, Raffaella, was great and very attentive, showed us around the entire property, and continuously checked in on us throughout the week. Highly recommended Isola Serena for those seeking a luxurious yet cozy retreat with the full Tuscan experience! We will definitely be back again!

Isola Serena is just a dream come true for anyone seeking a slice of Italian paradise! We were blown away by the panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside – the pictures just don’t do it justice! We stayed in the guest house, Casa Oliviero, and it has one of the best views overlooking the beautiful large infinity pool and vineyards. The other guesthouse, Casa Matteo, was furnished with Italian style windows and doors that also made it super charming. We spent most of our time relaxing at the villa and the infinity pool was perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun. Our group also loved the location of the villa and how convenient it was to pick up groceries and supplies at the local town, Castellina in Chianti, which has everything that you need, including a great grocery store, restaurants, cafes, shops, gelato, and wine tasting. It was a week we'll never forget, and we can’t wait to be back again with a drink in our hands watching the sunset behind the rolling Tuscan hills every night!

The pictures do not do the villa justice. The views from the villa’s terrace, infinity pool deck and splurge pool patio are all amazing…looking over the Tuscan countryside. Spectacular sunsets too. The interior is nicely decorated and perfect for our group of 9 adults. Each bedroom has its own ensuite and all are spacious. The house manager Natalia is very responsive - even to an urgent maintenance issue. We will definitely be back!
