Ancient 15th Century Village in Castellina in Chianti: Historic Charm in the Heart of Tuscany Description Along the ancient Roman road between Siena and Florence, just 2 km from the renowned village of Castellina in Chianti, this magnificent property from the late 1400s stands. For over five hundred years, this place has hosted pilgrims and farmers, attracted by an ideal microclimate and precious natural springs. Today, the former farmhouse is a private village of rare elegance, part of a thirty-hectare estate. The structure in exposed stone, enriched by terracotta tiles and imposing arches, creates a unique architectural movement that preserves the authentic soul of Chianti Classico. The main farmhouse, approximately 660 sqm, is divided into five independent units. The ground floor hosts a reception, a tavern with a wood-fired oven, laundry, and evocative storerooms with vaulted ceilings. There is also a three-room apartment with a loggia and a studio apartment. The first floor features interconnected units that can form a single prestigious main residence with four bedrooms and a solarium terrace, plus an additional independent studio with a fireplace. The separate cottage of 112 sqm, a former barn over two levels, offers a living room with fireplace and two bedrooms, overlooking a splendid paved terrace. External Spaces The property is surrounded by a manicured park with lawns, centuries-old trees, Mediterranean plants, and an olive grove, set on a land of 10 hectares. In a secluded position is the swimming pool, 11x5.5 meters, made of natural stone with a sunbathing area. Multiple convivial spaces include a stone courtyard of 30 sqm, covered loggias, and a 60 sqm terrace with a pergola in front of the cottage. A second annex of 31 sqm is dedicated to hobbies and outdoor dinners with park views. Condition and Finishes Restored between 1999 and 2003, the complex highlights noble Tuscan materials: exposed stone, original terracotta, wooden beams, and brick vaults. The systems are modern, with LPG heating and Wi-Fi. Water supply is guaranteed by the municipal aqueduct, with the possibility to restore a private well to utilize underground natural springs. Potential Uses The property represents an excellent investment thanks to an established international hospitality business. Its versatile structure makes it ideal both as a boutique charm hotel and as a luxurious private residence. The ground-floor spaces offer potential for residential expansions or the creation of a spa. Location Strategically positioned, the estate is 2 km from the services in Castellina in Chianti. In about half an hour, Siena, Florence, and San Gimignano are reachable. Florence Airport (48 km) and Pisa Airport (98 km) ensure quick connections for owners and international guests.

Nestled within Tuscany’s rolling vineyards and olive groves, it is well-positioned for quick access to the cultural richness of Florence, just 50 minutes away.
