The property’ s ancient castle tower built about the year 1000 sets the tone for the silence and peace that reigned here and prevails today at the impressive spa that offers wellness retreats. The extraordinary and creative cuisine of Chianti is prepared by Chef Fabrizio Borraccino for the fine restaurant Il Pievano and for La Terrazza, the stone tavern that serves only lunch. Wines from the estate’ s own Sangiovese vineyards and other labels may be purchased in the wine cellar, La Cantina, and ordered at meals. All rooms and suites retain a traditional, rustic style— authentic representations of Tuscany and Chianti.
