San Demetrio, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena and Chianti Seeking a villa oozing with Tuscan character but don't want to forsake mod-cons?  The secluded idyll of San Demetrio strikes the balance you're looking for. A great choice for a family with grandparents in tow, or two families. Plus, this restored villa really looks the part: a large, handsome stone-built property set in extensive grounds with a hinterland of olive groves and vineyards. You'll discover that the homely, though smart exterior belies a high-end internal finish. The refurbishment has retained the original features, such as terracotta tiles on both floor and – more dramatically – the high ceiling. All bedrooms have the same exquisite touches of finesses and charm that characterise the rest of the property. You'll find that both the stone courtyard and covered terrace are just the spot for al fresco dining (the stone walls take the edge off the heat of the day). The private pool enjoys a dramatic setting, too, while children and adults can bond in the shade of the stone outbuilding that houses a table-tennis table and a darts board. Wherever you settle – in the grounds or on the terrace – you will be assured of sublime views of the Chianti hills. Ground Floor Hall Table, bench, fireplace.
