Tuscan Dream on a Chianti Wine Estate - NEW
Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany

About the Wine Estate: The Quercia di Castellina Commercial Farm extends over the communes of Castellina and Radda in Chianti and covers a surface of 47 hectares, 11 of which are cultivated as a vineyard and 3 dedicated to olives. 

The “locality called Querceto”—which dates back to before the XVI century—and the main farmhouse has maintained every trace of its history and evolution over the centuries. This not only makes it extremely original but also of considerable historical and architectural interest.
The apartments, newly renovated, are comfortable and functional but maintain the charm and colors of the past. Inside, they maintain their authenticity, thanks to the typical furnishing, cotto floors and wooden beam ceilings. Each unit has a fully equipped masonry kitchen and telephone service.

 At Querceto you can spend a peaceful and relaxing holiday completely immersed in nature,.
