Property 1651263792 - CASTELLINA IN CHIANTI

10 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this magnificent property is ideally situated to explore Tuscany’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Located in the heart of Chianti, just a few kilometres from the charming towns of Florence and Siena, Property 1651263792 represents the perfect base for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

The vineyards in this picturesque part of Tuscany produce the grapes used in the renowned Chianti and Chianti Classico, world-famous red wines. The Chianti region is a landscape where you will encounter historic olive groves, honey-coloured stone farmhouses, dense forests, charming Romanesque churches, Renaissance villas, and imposing stone castles built in the Middle Ages by Florentine and Sienese warlords. Chianti’s northern area lies in the province of Florence and is a popular day trip from that city.

In forty minutes by car, you can reach the walled town of San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval villages. As you crest the nearby hills, the fourteen towers of the town rise like a medieval Manhattan. Today, even the plague would not deter the swarms of summer day-trippers, lured by a palpable sense of history and the enchanting rural setting. The historic centre is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and strolling through the streets will make you feel like you have stepped back in time.

In forty minutes by car, you can also reach the medieval town of Siena. Its ancient red-brick buildings, the scallop-shaped main square Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, make it an absolute must for anyone travelling to Tuscany. Effectively an open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, Siena boasts secular monuments that have retained both their medieval forms and their exceptional art collections, providing plenty to marvel at.

The property is also a few kilometres from Volterra, one of Tuscany’s most dramatic hilltop towns. Despite its many attractions, Volterra sees fewer tourists than other Tuscan towns, so you can expect to share its winding stone streets with locals and explore its ancient sites without crowds. Founded by the Etruscans and surrounded by medieval walls, Volterra has a notable historic centre filled with fascinating Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and alabaster workshops.

In one hour by car, you can reach Florence, a treasure trove of art with an astonishing contemporary vibe. Beyond the extraordinary artistic heritage, a testimony to its centuries of civilisation, the best way to enjoy Florence is to stroll along the riverside avenues at sunset, or to get lost among the city’s myriad alleyways of the bohemian Oltrarno or the narrow little streets of San Niccolò, where it feels like you have ended up in another time along its centuries-old walls.
