La Vigna

Nestled in the heart of unspoilt, rural Tuscany, it is clear why this charming and pretty little cottage has taken the name 'La Vigna'. Sitting almost amongst the actual vines themselves it is difficult to find anywhere more in keeping with the true character of Chianti.

With views over the magnificent rolling countryside and vineyards so typical of the area, this rare find of a small but good quality house in Chianti is a treat for couples wishing to explore the myriad little towns & villages of this most quintessential area of Tuscany.

Set in a large garden area, both La Vigna and the shared pool are privately located, well away from the main house, and the proximity of its helpful and unobtrusive owners who often welcome guests is seen by many of our guests as a huge advantage of the house.

Room Description

The property is set on 12 hectares of land.  The owners cultivate vines, olives and fig trees on the land and live a separate  house with its own independent and totally separate access about 50 meters away in a raised position with respect to La Vigna.

Welcome Provisions included

Food Hamper

Can be arranged for an additional cost and service charge payable locally. For guests who are arriving late or who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. Shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday. We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party.
