of Castellina in Chianti, in the hilly green countryside between Siena and
Florence in the heart of Chianti Classico, a beautiful region famous
throughout the world for its picture-postcard views and for the excellence
of its wines. It enjoys a privileged position on top of a hill, overlooking
the beautiful landscape dotted with olive trees and vines and is surrounded
by dense wooded vegetation, ideal for taking long walks in close contact
with nature. Inside the exposed stone exterior is a fascinating interior:
every room, from the warm intimate bedrooms to the cosy living area, has
been designed with great attention to detail, with fine furnishings and
accessories, combined with beautiful upholstery that recalls the
unmistakable hues of the Sienese countryside. The result of shrewd
restoration, this farmhouse reinterprets classic Tuscan architecture,
adapting to the sloping terrain due to which both floors have outside
access, especially on the lower floor where the brightly-lit rooms of the
living area open out to the private garden, an authentic corner of
tranquillity enriched by an attractive pergola for relaxing outdoors and by
a beautiful swimming pool nestling in the vineyards that produce one of the
finest wines in Chianti Classico. We are, in fact, within the Castellare di
Castellina, a prestigious and well established farm estate which covers an
area of about 80 hectares and which produces excellent extra virgin olive
oil and some of the most select wines of Chianti. The winery, open for
tasting and for the sale of wine and olive oil, is about 2 km from the
farmhouse. Not far from the property is the scenic Chiantigiana, a
panoramic bridge that connects Siena to Florence, which you can take to
make day trips to the well-known localities of Radda, Gaiole, Greve and
Panzano, rich in art treasures, churches and Renaissance villas perched on
scenic hills. N.B. The house has a separate entrance and is about 50 m from
the owners' villa from which it is separated by hedge screens to ensure
maximum privacy. The Emma Villas Concierge Team can be reached for any
emergencies, or further information you may required during your stay. All
useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents.
