Villa Pecille
The Conca d'Oro, or "Golden Shell," is one of the Chianti's most scenic stretches, and precisely one rental property has a prime perch amid the vines surveying it all. The magnificent stone casa colonica known as Villa Pecille has been converted into five spacious apartments, decorated in a traditional Tuscan style with terra-cotta floors, antique furniture, high ceilings, and firm beds. The largest unit, four-bedroom La Loggia, comes with its own mezzanine terrace that catches the morning sun. A cook and a driver are available on request, and there's also a free tour of Fontodi winery offered to all guests. Nearby Villa La Rota and Villa I Canonici have also been converted to guest accommodations. All this, of course, comes at a price, but everything here is done to a high spec, and the location is unbeatable.
