Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of a sweeping 40-hectare estate in Monteriggioni, Italy, Borgo Gallinaio is an extraordinary vacation rental that captures the timeless elegance of 15th-century Tuscan architecture. Framed by a lush expanse of Turkey oaks, holm oaks, and olive trees, this historic fortified hamlet sits within the area of the Sienese Montagnola, offering guests an immersive retreat into one of the most evocative landscapes in all of Tuscany. The original architecture of the borgo has remained beautifully intact, with the characteristic stratification of its centuries-old buildings still clearly visible, lending the property an authenticity that is rare and deeply compelling. Once through the surrounding walls, guests are welcomed into a generous internal courtyard, around which all the entrances to the residential units open, creating a sense of community and grandeur that defines the entire experience.
The property is exceptionally well-equipped for large groups, offering a private swimming pool set within a vast park, extensive outdoor yard areas thoughtfully arranged for relaxation and al fresco dining, high-speed Internet WiFi connectivity throughout, and a large dedicated parking area adjacent to the structure. The generosity of the outdoor spaces, combined with the scale and beauty of the interiors, makes Borgo Gallinaio an ideal setting not only for extended family stays but also for events and ceremonies of the highest caliber.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Borgo Gallinaio are nothing short of remarkable, extending across approximately 4 hectares of parkland that form the immediate surroundings of the borgo. These grounds encompass areas paved in traditional terracotta, adorned with seats and small tables, alongside sweeping lawns embellished with tall trees, olive trees, fruit trees, and dense clusters of aromatic herbs. The central courtyard, onto which all the residential entrances open, has been thoughtfully arranged as an outdoor dining area, complete with tables and chairs, a wood-fired oven, and a barbecue, making it a natural gathering point for guests. A large loggia positioned a short distance from the courtyard, together with the terrace on the first floor of the main house, provides ideal spaces for quiet relaxation and contemplative enjoyment of the panoramic views that stretch across the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
The non-heated swimming pool is located in the section of the park that borders the woodland, surrounded by tall shady trees and accessible from the courtyard via an internal path of approximately 350 metres. Rectangular in shape and measuring 8 by 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, it is lined in PVC and bordered by terracotta paving. The pool is equipped with chlorine purification, a metal ladder for water access, and internal lighting that extends throughout the surrounding area. The adjacent lawn serves as a sunbathing area and is furnished with umbrellas, sunbeds, and a cold-water shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Beyond the park, a further 48 hectares of land surround the borgo, distributed among extensive woodland, vast arable fields, meadows, and a sprawling olive grove, all of which are freely accessible for walking and sporting activities. It is worth noting that the property photographs were taken in spring, meaning that the flowering of plants and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
Unit Layout
Borgo Gallinaio is structured according to the classic typology historically known as a courtyard house, comprising a main body and a separate annex positioned opposite, together totalling approximately 1,200 square metres of interior space organised around a central courtyard. The property accommodates a maximum of 32 guests across 16 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, distributed between the two buildings.
The main body is arranged over 3 floors. On the ground floor, the main entrance from the courtyard opens into a spacious living room with sofas and a television area. A short corridor connects this space to the dining room, which in turn leads to the professional kitchen. The kitchen opens through a French window onto the courtyard dining area and is complemented by a service bathroom on this level. The ground floor also contains 3 double bedrooms, 2 of which feature divisible beds, each with a private bathroom with shower. An external staircase beside the main entrance ascends to the first floor, where a furnished terrace with tables leads into a living room with a fireplace. This floor accommodates 6 bedrooms: 1 double with an ensuite bathroom featuring both a shower and a bathtub, 1 twin room with joinable beds served by a bathroom with both a tub and shower, and 4 double bedrooms, 2 of which have divisible beds, each with an ensuite bathroom with shower. The second floor, accessed from the first floor corridor via a spiral staircase, contains 1 double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
The annex, located directly opposite the main building, is arranged over 2 floors that are not internally connected. On the ground floor, 3 double bedrooms are available, each with an ensuite bathroom with shower and independent external access, with no internal communication between units. 2 external staircases on the front façade lead to the first floor: the first staircase accesses 1 double bedroom with a divisible bed and an ensuite bathroom with shower. The second staircase leads to a landing serving 2 independent bedrooms, both with divisible beds: 1 double with an ensuite bathroom featuring both a shower and a bathtub, and 1 double with an ensuite bathroom with shower. The laundry facilities are housed in a dedicated external room located behind the kitchen.
Amenities Included
Borgo Gallinaio is comprehensively appointed to ensure a comfortable and refined stay for all guests. Each of the 16 bedrooms is equipped with air conditioning, providing a welcome respite during the warmer Tuscan months, while heating is available throughout the property for cooler periods. The living room on the first floor of the main body features a fireplace, adding warmth and atmosphere to evening gatherings. Entertainment is well catered for with satellite TV available within the property.
The professional kitchen is fully equipped for large-scale catering and includes a dishwasher, making it practical as well as impressive in scale. A dedicated laundry room located in an external space behind the kitchen houses a washing machine, ensuring that guests on extended stays have everything they need for day-to-day comfort. The property also welcomes pets, making it a suitable choice for guests who wish to travel with their animals.
Other Information
Borgo Gallinaio is a property that lends itself naturally to large gatherings, family reunions, and group celebrations, thanks to its scale, its layout, and the breadth of its facilities. The estate within which it sits covers 40 hectares and offers ample space for outdoor activities, nature walks, and sporting pursuits in a secluded yet accessible setting. The property reflects the architectural heritage of a 15th-century Tuscan borgo, with its original structure and courtyard configuration preserved in their historic form.
