Property Description

Our farm is located in the heart of the region of Chianti Classico near Greve, looking out over Montefioralle, a splendid medieval village, in an untouched natural setting. It is on the top of a hill (1400 feet above sea level) with a magnificent 360 °view. Even in the summer it stays cool, with a fresh breeze
The property includes a cluster of four houses that once served as a stopping place on the ancient salt road (there's still a trace of the road in the path which goes by the pool) as well as approximately 10 hectares (20 acres) of land, including four hectares of vineyards, an olive grove, a stand of cypress trees, meadow and woods. When we bought the farm in 1994, it was semi abandoned and the buildings were in terrible disrepair. Since then we have dedicated ourselves to restoring them as closely as possible to their original form, using only local and environmentally compatible materials and personally supervising every phase of the restoration down to the last details
We have now finished restoring three of the four buildings of the original settlement: we live in the largest where we have obtained also an apartment for our guests furthermore we've made two apartments out of the second, the former storehouse. The third, once a barn, we've converted into another apartment. We added also a large swimming pool to the complex
This year, we can offer our guests four completely restored apartments.Two of them are in the former storehouse: one, “la Cantina� is on the ground floor and the other, “il Forno� is above the former baking area, both with lovely views of the vineyard. A third apartment, “la Capanna� is in what was once a small cottage and is completely separate from the others.
At last "la Piazzetta", a two floors apartment that belongs to the main building

Local Area Information

The swimming-pool, (12x6m) with its breathtaking view, is situated among the olive-trees not far away from the apartments.
Behind the apartments there is a playground area dedicated to children, where they can play.
In the property there are also some mountain-bikes available for guests who want to discover the country around.
It is also possible to organize for interested guests "trekking a cavallo" (horse trekking) on one or some days along the paths of Chianti
Nearby, guests can visit interesting villages: the Pieve di San Cresci, S.Pietro a Sillano, the medieval village of Montefioralle and the beautiful Badia a Passignano.
Some shops, chemists, banks and post offices are available not far from the property
