Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena, Tuscany, Italy

This fully renovated second-floor apartment is in Ponte a Bozzone, a quiet residential village in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, at the gateway to the Chianti wine country. It's ready to move into and needs very little upkeep, so it works well as a holiday home, a lock-up-and-leave base in Tuscany or a permanent home.
