Tenuta Castellina
It originated as a medieval casa da signore, or nobleman’s house, and developed as a wine farm from the 14th century onwards, clinging to the contours from which it derives its name. Most of it is densely wooded, at a median altitude of 1,600 ft.
All the apartments, which accommodate two or four persons, have lovely views over the vines. They have maintained their rustic character and the furniture combines comfort and elegance, many items being made for us by local craftsmen. Each apartment has its own sitting-out area, with a table and garden chairs. Most have either an open fireplace or stove, and all have central heating for cooler months. The galley kitchen includes fridge, full-size cooker with four burners and oven, and comes fully equipped. All have comfortable, upholstered armchairs or sofas in the lounge, a dining table and dining chairs. Mosquito screens available in some apartments.
Available on site: a nice little restaurant where we serve a buffet-breakfast every day except Sunday at a little supplement and two traditional homemade tuscan dinners per week. A lounge with library, satellite TV, Wi-Fi internet connection and wine bar. A mosaic-lined swimming pool with sun terraces. A barbecue and covered pergola with picnic table. A covered loggia, a public phone and a small laundry.
GARDEN & SWIMMING POOL
The swimming pool (5 x 10 meters, depht 1.40 meters) provides a relaxing place to cool off in the summer season and enjoy the beautiful views.
All of the domain is surrounded by woods; and because it is well off the public highway with no roads on its perimeter peace and silence are guaranteed. This seclusion means it is a sanctuary for flora and fauna. Visitors have identified 36 species each of butterflies and birds as well as seven different types of wild orchid.
The estate's uncultivated area is covered mainly with holm oaks, cypresses and pines while the vineyards are dotted with cherry, pear, apple, peach, walnut, olive and fig trees as well as native ginestra (broom), juniper bushes, dog roses, prickly pears and bramble berries typical of Chianti. There are romantic woodland walks and tranquil picnic spots to discover in a landscape that is itself truly "classico", like our wines.
