Villa Vistarenni, Renaissance villa in Gaiole in Chianti, Italy.
Villa Vistarenni is a 16th-century-style residence in the Chianti Classico area of Gaiole in Chianti, given its present appearance between 1914 and 1919 by architect Ludovico Fortini. Its facade is marked by a broken staircase split into two flights. A chapel dedicated to Santa Maddalena de' Pazzi stands in the park.
The structure was originally a fortress first recorded in 1033 in documents from the monastery of Badia a Coltibuono. It underwent transformation from medieval form to Renaissance style during the Pianigiani family period.
The villa's name changed from Fisterinne to Vistarenni over the centuries; the earlier name appears in a 1033 charter from Badia a Coltibuono. In the park stands a chapel dedicated to Santa Maddalena de' Pazzi, inscribed with the date 1584 and the letters D.O.M.; it was also used as a private burial place by the Sonnino family.
The property is situated roughly 60 kilometers from Florence Peretola Airport and surrounded by rolling countryside. The accommodation offers breakfast, cellar access, and internet in public areas to all guests.
The property contains a private chapel dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene of Pazzi with 1584 carved into its stonework. This small church served as a burial site for members of the Sonnino family.
