On the hills of Chianti, in the province of Florence, we find this small 4.8-hectare wine estate with Chianti Classico DOCG / Toscana IGT vineyards and a boutique accommodation business. The property is well established: the vineyards allow producing up to 10,000 bottles of wine per year, while the guests can rely on 7 bedrooms. A small olive grove (180 trees) allows producing roughly 500 liters of excellent extra-virgin DOP olive oil.
The services for daily needs are available in the nearby town (about 1 km reachable on foot) where there are restaurants, shops, and schools. In less than half an hour, one can also reach Florence and from there use the motorway network to move throughout most of Tuscany to the sea.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (339 m² – 3,648 ft², 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is a rural building, recently renovated, spread over two levels. On the ground floor, the central entrance divides the kitchen, a dining room, and a large lounge. The corridor leads to a service bathroom and the first bedroom with private bathroom. From the living room, there is access to a secondary room with a service bathroom. On the first floor is the sleeping area, composed of four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
The old barn (214 m² – 2,303 ft², 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) has been completely renovated and today hosts the tasting room for the company's products with a service bathroom and a two-level residence. On the ground floor are two kitchens (one habitable, the other with access to the veranda) and a bedroom with a bathroom; the upper floor is entirely occupied by a beautiful suite with a private bathroom and walk-in closet.
A paved stone courtyard separates the two buildings and offers a pleasant outdoor living area ideal for outdoor dinners and gatherings. The 4,300-m² garden behind the house hosts a 12 × 6 m swimming pool overlooking the vineyards.
Completing the property is a small wine cellar (42 m² – 452 ft²) with various sheds to shelter agricultural tools and equipment.
