Villa Uccelletti

About this property

Stepping through the gate at Villa Uccelletti, you find yourself in a garden framed by vines and olive trees, the Chianti hills spilling out in every direction. The villa’s stone façade glows in the afternoon light, leading you inside where cool terracotta floors and exposed beams speak of its history as a Tuscan barn.

A few steps bring you into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfectly arranged for shared meals that flow easily from indoors to the shaded terrace. The living room, with its pastel walls and deep sofas, invites you to pause and look out to the pool. The three bedrooms, two on the ground floor and one on the first floor, each have their own bathroom and windows that frame the surrounding hills like paintings.

Outside, the saltwater pool glistens against a backdrop of cypress and vineyard, with space to dine, lounge, or simply watch the light change over the valley. Just beyond the garden, the quiet hamlet of Galenda connects you to the heart of Chianti, with Radda and Gaiole only minutes away.

Villa Uccelletti sits in Galenda, a tiny hamlet in the Chianti Classico region between Radda and Gaiole. Here, the rhythm of life follows the seasons of the vineyard, and local winemakers welcome visitors into their cellars for tastings.

In Radda, medieval streets lead to small piazzas, artisan shops, and family-run restaurants, while Gaiole is a hub for the famous Eroica cycling route. The surrounding countryside offers endless walking and cycling trails through olive groves and chestnut woods. Food lovers will find trattorias serving pici pasta and wild boar, while history enthusiasts can explore Romanesque churches and centuries-old farmsteads.

Within easy reach, Siena’s Gothic splendour and Florence’s Renaissance treasures offer world-class culture, yet the villa is located within beautiful countryside.
