VILLA DELLA CANTINETTA - GREVE IN CHIANTI

6 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
With a tranquil setting on ten hectares of olive groves, vineyards and gardens, this six-bedroom villa is ideally located to explore Tuscany’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Situated in the heart of Chianti and enjoying a privileged position between the charming towns of Florence and Siena, Villa della Cantinetta represents the perfect location for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

In just one hour by car, you can easily reach Siena, the medieval walled city famous for the twice annual Palio horse race. You could spend hours wandering through the warren-like maze of streets that branch out from Piazza del Campo, the shell-shaped public square crowned by an iconic bell tower. In just one hour by car, you can also reach Florence, a treasure trove of art with an astonishing contemporary vibe. Beyond the extraordinary artistic heritage, the best way to enjoy Florence is to stroll along the riverside avenues at sunset or to get lost among the city’s alleyways of the Oltrarno.

In just one hour by car, you can also reach San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval villages.The historic center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, and strolling through the cobblestoned streets will make you feel like you have stepped back in time. For beautiful bowls, vases, and other decorative items made of alabaster, head to Volterra: the town is known for its alabaster workshops, like Rossi Alabastri, which you can visit to learn more about the craft. Wandering around the historic center, you will find plenty of shops selling items made with this translucent stone.

In less than two hours by car, you can reach Chianciano Terme, one of Tuscany’s largest thermal baths. The Chianciano thermal area has five springs, with waters of differing mineral compositions and temperatures, suited for different treatments. If you are not here for the waters, probably the most interesting part of Chianciano is the old town, which lies to the north. In less than two hours by car, you can also reach Pisa, famous for its iconic Leaning Tower. The main sights are located in Piazza Del Duomo, also known as Piazza dei Miracoli, which comprises the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Camposanto Monumentale and the Bell Tower.
