Set high in the Chianti hills, this former retreat for travelling priests offers a restful escape in the rolling Tuscan hills. The stone villa has been lovingly restored, with private terraces and a sunny garden where you can linger over long lunches or sip a glass of wine straight from the vineyard below. Days here fall into an easy rhythm: a dip in the shared pool, a game of tennis, a stroll along woodland trails that wind through the estate. Within minutes you can reach Lecchi or Monti for simple family-run trattorias, or venture to Siena and Florence for culture and history.

About Siena
The sound of hooves clattering along stone paths, flags flying the crests of ancient contrade, and fierce rivalries that date back hundreds of years – visit Siena during Il Palio to experience one of Italy’s most chaotic yet atmospheric traditions.
