Located on a small family-run farm in Montespertoli, nestled in the gently rolling hills of Chianti, is this ‘Forno’ brick-style Italian home. Start your first evening here with the bottle of wine from your welcome basket which has been produced on the vineyard here, as you enjoy the incredible views from your private garden. Then, when you wake the next day, start your morning with a sugary sweet coffee – also provided in your welcome basket – before you relax in a deck chair with a good book. For those who love walking or cycling, this beautiful setting provides the perfect area for exploring, as the farm is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and woodlands that you can wander freely. In the early evening, we would love to stop at the shaded terrace overlooking the large gardens to taste the farm’s wines, while admiring the view of the surrounding hills. Then for dinner, why not take advantage of the barbecue, and cook some delicious Spiedini skewers, to enjoy in Italian alfresco style with a glass of refreshing wine, accompanied by the fantastic vista on offer. When you retire inside, the home’s natural elements of stone walls, terracotta floors and wooden ceilings will keep the rooms pleasantly cool in the summer and warm in the winters, while the twentieth-century furnishings provide comfort for relaxing hours before bedtime.
