Description
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.
