Lodging in Chianti

Exteriors  

Housed in what once was a hayloft built in the 19th century, the fine strikingly coloured apartments of Corte del Chianti have today turned into, after a thorough restoration, outstandingly beautiful lodging that maintains the old structure intact but has incorporated modern comforts and fine details.

Its setting is the greenery of Florentine hills in Castelfiorentino, where unsurpassed vistas of nature, vineyards and olive groves provide an unrivalled beauty playground. A wealth of history and customs is captured in this land. For the height where this lodging in Chianti lies, on a hill’s ridge at 200 m above sea level, the commanding view of the scenery will stun the viewer.

The huge garden of 2500 m2 wraps the lodging and immerse guests in refreshing and regenerating nature. The olive groves have been part of the premises even before the hayloft was built.

The garden area of each apartment becomes perfect for summer dinners al fresco with crickets chirping at the background.
 
The swimming pool of about 60m sits amidst the perfectly tended garden. By the poolside guest will soak up the Florentine sun and loll up in the spacious solarium fitted with deckchairs that looks over a magnificent panoramic view of the hills around the premises.
