TENUTA CASTELLINA - CASTELLINA IN CHIANTI

7 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this magnificent, recently restored estate is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and natural wonders. Offering wonderful views of the surrounding landscape, this exclusive seven-bedroom property is perfect for unforgettable day trips to Tuscany’s most beautiful towns and provides a unique opportunity to admire its splendid scenery while soaking up the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

Tenuta Castellina is surrounded by some of Tuscany’s most prestigious wine producers. Just down the road is Fonterutoli, a charming historic hamlet where visitors can enjoy a wine tasting. In the opposite direction lies Castellina in Chianti, a picturesque town with numerous activities that merit multiple visits. Enjoy a stroll through the town’s mediaeval streets, explore the local bottegas, and treat yourself to gelato. In the summer, the town’s piazzas offer a delightful setting for dining while experiencing authentic Tuscan life.

In half an hour by car, you can reach the mediaeval town of Siena. Its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the striped Duomo, make it a must-see for anyone travelling to Tuscany. An open-air museum celebrating Gothic architecture, Siena boasts secular monuments that have preserved their mediaeval forms and exceptional art collections, offering plenty to marvel at.

In less than an hour by car, you can reach San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved mediaeval towns. From afar, San Gimignano resembles a Renaissance painting: a circle of 13th-century walls enclosing tall, teetering stone towers. Its towers are instantly recognisable, but the art treasures within its walls are equally remarkable. Although small, the town offers enough art, architecture, and fine food to keep you engaged for more than a day.

The Property
Found amidst the hills of the world-famous Chianti wine region, Tenuta Castellina is a 17th-century estate offering peace and relaxation.

It is the ideal home base for families with children, groups, and romantic escapists looking for a private retreat into the Tuscan countryside. The estate can accommodate fourteen guests in the main house and the granary.

Tucked into the south side of the oak-forested Cambolli hill, Tenuta Castellina is an intimately private retreat cradled by forested hills, breathtaking skies, and rural horizons. Offering the perfect blend of contemporary comforts and traditional luxuries, both buildings feature master and junior suites with king-size beds, fluffy duvets, and crisp sheets. Eco-friendly and utterly divine, Tenuta Castellina is powered by solar panel systems, using 100% renewable energy and rainwater harvesting.

Panoramic views over vineyards, olive groves, and wild oak forests transport guests into a world so magical it must be seen to be believed. Outside, this magnificent property boasts a saltwater pool and a generous poolside area furnished with comfortable sun loungers.

The convivial living rooms welcome world-weary travellers to kick up their feet and relax into the dolce far niente, the Italian art of doing nothing. Food and wine connoisseurs will love the custom Tuscan kitchen in the main house, where delicious Italian meals and lively conversation take place around a large farm table. Imagine a morning painting the Tuscan vistas, followed by an afternoon of leisurely reading by the pool, al fresco dining at sunset, and stargazing long after dark.
