Between the towns of Radda and Gaiole in Chianti, two key
production centres in the history of Chianti Classico, there
extends a large farm of approx . 500 acres, called ÒFattoria
di VistarenniÓ.
The 16th century Villa Vistarenni dominates it from a hilltop
500 m above sea level.
Vistarenni, that stems from ÒFisterinneÓ, Etruscan name that
means Ògood viewÓ, was a small, fortified settlement that still
existed in the year 1000 in the site where the villa stands
nowadays.
A former property of the Florentine Strozzi family, and later
of the Sonnino family, which gave birth to some senior
officers of state in early Italian governments, now belongs to
the Tognana family.
Vistarenni can offer beautiful holidays in the Villa, summer
residence of the owners, in the apartments on the second
floor of the Villa and in the country house from the 16th
century built in local stone.
This mansion, a summer residence of the owners, may on
request be leased year-round, as it is equipped with a
central heating system. It is a perfect solution for whoever
likes living in the countryside without neglecting the comforts
of modern life.
The salons fronting direct on a private garden are very
homey, and the large living room in the first story induces a
pleasing feeling of relaxation, thanks also to the presence of
a fireplace.
All of the four bedrooms have private bathrooms, and the
windows, overlooking the Chianti hillside, offer unforgettable
views.* Accommodation: 7 persons, 500 mq
All the apartments are entitled the use of outdoor areas and
of a portable barbecue and guests can visit the historic
cellars and make wine tasting.
