CHIANTI VILLA & studio, max12, super-large pool, hilltop secluded fab views,
Restored from the ruin of a typical Tuscan farmhouse Podere Scopeto sits high on a hilltop at 600 meter above sea-level (which means summer nights are just perfect outside) The Main House of Podere Scopeto sleeps 10 so with the Capanna (about 60m away from the Main House) included it is 12 all together, but there is also a small sofa/bed for a toddler in one of the bedrooms. We do have 2 more put-up cots for tinies and two old wooden high-chairs. Scopeto overlooks woods, vineyards and the medieval towns of Radda and Castellina. The nearest town is Gaiole (15 min) in the triangle of Siena, Florence and Arezzo. It is in the middle of the Gallo Nero classic wine region with Brolio, Castello Meleto, Coltibuono on your doorstep. We have a large saltwater pool (5m x 14 m) with spacious sun terraces and pergolas which offer our guests boyant relaxation, but for the more energetic there are miles of woods and hills to walk in beyond the 30 privately owned acres surrounding the house. It has a huge BBQ with enough chairs and tables to seat 12-18 comfortably on the three terraces. More secluded hammocks and picnic places are dotted around the property under the shade of our olives and sweet chestnuts. We have reliable crystal clear water from our own well and faultless heating and plumbing system. Our bathrooms are modern and work perfectly and every bed- and bathroom has at least one anti-mosquito screen in a window. 2 fireplaces cheer our winter visitors. From the main road you drive 2 and a half km through the woods on an un-tarmaced road which is not suitable for low-slung vehicles, caravans or bikes but fine for normal cars driven slowly. We are happy to let you stay for the annual 'Eroica' traditional bike-race in October though, which takes place every year in Gaiole. Puede alquilarlo por muy poco para estar seguro de estar solo en la propiedad... y tener aún más espacio.

Beautiful get away in the Chianti mountains
We had a great time during our stay. The house was spectacular, amazing view of the Chianti hills, clean, spacious and we had all we needed to cook. The pool was wonderful and they came to clean it mid way so it was always clean. We rented a 4 wheel drive SUV which was recommended by the host and it was helpful for the last bit of road that leads to the house. We were able also to visit several small towns close by that were very charming. It was a good central location for someone who wants to get a flavour of Tuscany. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home and property!
Our family of 7 stayed at the house and it is a wonderful layout. Pictures don’t do the home and grounds justice. Kitchen is great to cook in and well stocked. The pool is lovely and great to lounge around. There are numerous outdoor locations to dine, gather and enjoy your time together. Purchase your groceries, paper products and toiletries before you arrive :) Marina’s home is well located for Siena and many of the locales you’ll want to visit. We would definitely rent here again!

Wonderful oasis in the middle wine heaven
We recently visited Borgo Scopeto with 3 families and the accommodations and location could not have been better. As mentioned by others, the road in is a little rough (2.5 kilometers of narrow and steep gravel), but once on pavement you are 50 minutes from Florence, 30 minutes from Siena, and a stone's throw from lots and lots of great wineries and hill towns. And once at the place, the bumpy drive out encourages one to stay put, enjoy the enormous pool, and connect with your family and friends. I would change nothing about the location.
Marina was a joy to deal with, there were zero issues with the place, and I would go back tomorrow were it not for the real world getting in the way of my recreation 😊

Amazing Villa!
Spent a week here with 6 friends for my 70th birthday. Best celebration ever.
The kitchen is the best equipped I've seen and my daughter brought her friend who is a chef, so we had amazing meals. But, we also went out to eat and there are many fine restaurants in the surrounding area.
The house was a dream. So beautiful and well appointed. Great WiFi, modern bathrooms and plenty of them. Lovely comfortable bedrooms. And great fireplaces which we use in the evenings.
We spent alternate days traveling the countryside and other days just enjoying the villa and the pool. The water was cold (in late October) but the owner agreed to keep it open for us and we spent time enjoying 75 degree days by the water. Some of us even took a dip.
Marina was so helpful with all of the information she sent ahead of time. Great communication! And, Elizabetta came midweek to tidy up. Cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen, took out garbage, etc. What a lovely help that was.
The view from the Villa is exquisite and the grounds are beautiful. We also rented the Capanna which is a lovely extra 'apartment'.
Such a great location to tour the countryside and enjoy the beauty of Tuscany in an authentic villa.
Thank you Marina for opening your lovely home to us! We couldn't have chose a better spot. I miss it already!

Incredible property in the most beautiful area, entrance road not for wary drivers!
Everything from booking to leaving was perfect! The host was wonderful to speak with, very attentive, and very easy to communicate with! I rented the house for a group of friends as we were attending a wedding nearby, and this house was perfect for what we needed it for. The house has everything you need, and we were able to relax and unwind as if we were at our own home.
The house is in the deep countryside, so bugs, insects and the occasional wild boar is a given, but I would not expect anything less, and the property is so beautiful, you don't really notice! We had a few hot days where we could use the pool (which in my opinion is one of the best pools of the area!) and it was just a complete heaven!
The only point I would really emphasise: RENT A 4X4 - We rented a Landrover after reading the previous reviews (and we were a group with luggage) and I am so glad we did, the entrance road is mountainous, with a sheer drop to one side, and quite bumpy. Low / small cars may struggle, and if you're a wary driver this may not be the road for you. Taxi's do not like driving it (as we found out.. eek!) so just make sure your car is prepared! It's about a 5 minute drive from the main road to the property, but then when you see the house and the view, my god it's worth it. Grazie Marina, we'll see you again soon!

Beautiful property in stunning Chianti countryside. Best kitchen & pool we've ever had in a rental
A wonderful stay in this beautiful property. All very homely and comfortable. All the owners information, advice and instructions made sure we got the most out of our week. (I think we saw all wildlife on the list: wild boar with young, deer, porcupines...) The swimming pool was the best we had in any rental - big & deep ! And very friendly, welcoming local Osteria's everywhere... We had wonderful days in both Siena & Florence, both only a short distance away. All in all a fab family holiday.

A great place to really getaway.
Our group of 6 loved staying in this beautiful Tuscan Villa. Marina’s instructions were very thorough, and we did not have much of a problem at all getting to and into the property. Everything was very clean, Marina’s communication was perfect, and her Villa is beautiful.
I would caution anyone looking into this stay to read the property info before booking. It is very much a remote Villa in the Gaiole di Chianti area, and the windy, gravel road to the house does make exploring the nearby towns difficult after dark.
Vi er netop hjemkommet fra en skøn ferie i Scoopeto. Alt fungerede og levede til fulde op til det vi forventede.
En nat med uvejr betød at der var en beskidt pool om morgenen, men her kom Stefano forbi og rensede den, så den hurtigt kunne tages i brug igen.
Vi kan virkelig anbefale dette sted og kunne sagtens finde på at komme tilbage

5 Punkte!
Sehr persönlich und äußerst geschmackvoll eingereichtes Ferienhaus mit ebenso einzigartigem Nebenhaus (Capanna). Für 12 Pers. bestens geeignet. Sehr großer Pool mit traumhaftem Blick ins Tal. Sehr angenehmer Kontakt zur Vermieterin.
Was man allerdings wissen muss: Die Zufahrt ist lang und recht steinig.

Meravigliosa perla sulle colline toscane
Maggio 2018 , un week end con amici e rispettivi bambini, dai 10 mesi ai 6 anni.
Casa spaziosa e organizzatissima , con un bellissimo giardino e piscina solo per noi, che abbiamo potuto godere nonostante non fosse ancora stagione. Pulizia della casa buona, biancheria e stoviglie presenti, la dependance dista 50 m ed è un bijoux, c’e Tutto ed è molto romantica. Unica pecca attenzione alla strada sterrata che porta alla casa perché le auto fanno un po’ fatica, è stretta e molto impervia in alcuni punti ma percorribile con fuoristrada e suv, andando piano e stando attenti .
Però ne vale la pena... è un po’ isolata rispetto al paese di Gaiole, ciò la rende adatta a chi ama stare in relax
