The estate is situated in a fantastic position in the centre of the Chianti region and is composed of the owners manor house, which origins date back to the 11th Century, a farmhouse and hayloft which have been recently skilfully restored into 6 beautiful apartments.

The little village of Marcialla with its local shops is a handy walking distance of just over 1 km away.

The apartments themselves have been recently restored paying great attention to detail. All of the original characteristics such as beamed ceilings, and exposed stone walls have been retained and only the finest local materials, such as Florentine handmade terracotta tiles, marble, and wrought iron fittings have been used. Each apartment has its own individual character and all have fireplaces, and are furnished in a mixture of modern and antique styles creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The addition of today’s comforts of brand new bathrooms, kitchens with microwaves and dishwashers, safes, satellite plasma screen televisions, telephone/fast internet connection (on request), air conditioning and central heating create the finishing touches.
