Casetta Erika, Castellina in Chianti, Siena and Chianti What could be quainter than a little pink cottage in a wood, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves? Casetta Erika is bound to put a smile on your face as you pull into the drive and take in this one-storey villa with its suntrap of a terrace, flower-filled garden and welcoming pool. Long days lingering on a lounger in the sun beckon, only to be broken by a little light sightseeing, ambling around Chianti’s wineries and the cobbled streets of medieval towns including nearby Castellina. This one-storey house will suit a party of six well, with its open-plan area for cooking, dining and relaxing, of which you’ll find three good-sized bedrooms and two large bathrooms. The vibe here is modern meets country cottage, with a nod to traditional Tuscan-style with the terracotta floor tiles. Casetta Erika exudes a homely atmosphere that can be made cosier still in cooler months by gathering around the fireplace. We’re sure it will soon become your home from home.
