Located on one of the Antinori estates in the Chianti Classico area, this is a beautifully renovated and restored stone hamlet with breathtaking views of vineyards and rolling hills. The hamlet is located midway between Florence and Siena, 8 km from Greve, and close to the small town of Montefiridolfi (1 km, basic shops). The town of Mercatale Val di Pesa is about 10 minutes away. The exit from the Superstrada is Tavernelle Val di Pesa. The estate consists of the main complex comprised of 17 apartments (Bianco apartments), reception desk, and pool area with taverna, and one farmhouse (Rosso apartments) housing seven beautiful apartments on the hillside. Access to the Rosso farmhouse is via about 2 km of a steep, unpaved road (common in the Chianti region). The apartments share a swimming pool (open May – end of October). Guests staying in the Rosso apartments can drive down the unpaved road to the pool, or, prepare for a long walk downhil (and uphill to return!). In addition, there is a gym, Turkish bath and sauna, and tennis court located at the main complex.

Enjoyed Most:
The apartment was wonderful and way more than we expected. The pictures on the website don't even come close to capturing how beautiful the area truly is and how much the apartment blends farmhouse charm and authenticity with modern comfort. This villa is a great recommendation. Our entire two-week trip went without one negative incident except for a metro strike in Roma that left us stranded at the Vatican. You may use our experience as one that was completely positive.
