About the Property
Located a short distance from Castellina in Chianti, on the slopes of the Chianti, this real estate complex is offered for sale, distinguished by a high level of privacy and a commanding position. The property consists of a historic settlement whose origins date back to before 994 AD, set within a preserved natural landscape.
During the Late Middle Ages, it was an important fortified center located in strategic positions, cited in the peace agreements between Pisa and Lucca in 1155, and as a stronghold of the Florentine army during the famous Battle of Montaperti in 1260.
The hamlet rises on a rocky spur at the confluence of two streams, occupying a site of strategic importance for millennia. The original core includes a small church.
The modern hamlet owes its fate to a family of Swiss origins, who purchased the property in near-ruin in 1946. Under their guidance, the ancient village located in Castellina in Chianti underwent a careful restoration aimed at preserving its medieval magic.
In 1955, the hamlet officially became the first albergo diffuso (a widespread hotel) in the entire Chianti region, initially hosting relatives and friends, and later travelers seeking to discover the most authentic Tuscany.
