Stylishly rustic, this country home sets the tone for a restorative retreat in the heart of Chianti. Dating back to the 10th century, the house has a wonderful sense of character with plenty of space for groups to relax and enjoy the garden views. There’s also a private swimming pool and a terrace – perfect for alfresco dining. Your host can help organise a range of extra services here, including private chefs and guided tours – a great option for those looking to explore the region. From here, it’s just 4 kilometres to Castellina, while cities such as Florence and Siena are also within driving distance.
