Villa description and location
This beautiful Tuscan resort is comprised of three clusters of wholly restructured and newly equipped farmhouses surrounded by vineyards. The origin goes back to 1400 when travellers between Florence and Siena would rest and drink from the spring that still passes through the village nearby. Located only 15 km from Florence and 20 from Siena in the heart of Chianti hills, it is completely surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and woods. Very easy to reach from the fastway Siena/Florence, it is the ideal base for your trip around Tuscan most famous places.
The main building today houses the reception and common areas: swimming pool, restaurant, conference room, wellness centre, tennis and several apartments. The other two farmhouses are located on the hill facing Santa Maria and are easily reached by following a picturesque country road that intersects the vineyards. Each of the charming apartments is named after grape or olive varieties, reminding one of being in one of the most famous wine and olive oil producing areas in the world.
