Borgo di Gaoile, Siena, Italy

Consists of 50 apartments with 1 and 2 bedrooms, some with private garden or terrace.
8 Villas, 3/4 and 5 bedrooms, some with private garden or terrace.

Here is where you will find yourself surronded by the famous rolling hills covered with vineyards and olive groves, which give the name to some of the most prestigious Chianti wine and more appreciated olive oil. Silence travels along with you on the country roads that follow the top of the hills, giving you at every corner a breathtaking view over the country side, each time better than the previous one.
It is the perfect place both for those who like to enjoy peace and relaxation, living in harmony with nature but spoiled by all the nearby services such as typical village shops, markets, banks, and schools, not to mention excellent restaurants.

Wine, Olive oil, truffles, cheese, delicious cold meats and the world wide famous " chianina" steak, are the essence of the lifestyle of this region.

The prices of the properties in this region are constantly on the increase because the offer cannot follow the demand, being a protected area where new licences are rarely granted.Borgo di Gaiole srl managed to obtain the licenses from the local administration because they married the philosophy, not that of building "houses" in Chianti, but that of creating from new an ancient village respecting the traditional way to build in the past.
