ISOLA SERENA Newly Expanded Private Luxury Villa, Tuscany, Infinity Pool & Views

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 ensuites, a library which can be used as a proper bedroom, and it can sleep up to 15 people. 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 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. 1 guesthouse has one bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, and a pullout sofa 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 with a pullout sofa.

An unforgettable experience.
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!

Amazing Stay
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!

Beautiful villa
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!

Best week ever!
We stayed at Isola Serena for my 50th birthday trip/celebration. There were 3 couples and 3 single women in our group. The property was even more beautiful in person than the beautiful photos you see on the listing. It’s indescribably gorgeous. We loved that every bedroom was en suite. The kitchen was well appointed. Matteo and Natalia provided anything we needed and facilitated a smooth check-in and out process. The Sonos system was awesome! We would play music by the pool and different music in the kitchen. We hired Chef Matisse for 2 dinners. We would defined recommend him. The hikes around the property were a perfect way for us to work off the pasta and wine. The pool was also wonderful for laps or hanging out. The views are unbelievable. The location is perfectly central for visiting all of the adorable and historic towns around Chianti. The beds were comfortable and we woke up every morning rested and ready for a new day of exploring the region. The patio was also a wonderful spot to hang out. We had a few dinners outside, as well. This was literally one of the best weeks of my life and Isola Serena was a key part of it. I cannot wait to go back. I am in love with Italy and in love with this property. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Large home with beautiful views
Our group had a wonderful stay at Isola Serena. The views are amazing and the house is well stocked with everything needed. The pools are lovely and kids enjoyed swimming. We can’t say enough good things about the house manager, Natalia. She helped us many times with dinner reservations, recommendations and made sure we knew to get groceries as things are closed sundays. She is one of the best managers we’ve encountered in our travels! We highly recommend this house for a big group.
