Borgo Ai Castagni

Description

Borgo ai Castagni is a portion of a stone farmhouse housed in an ancient convent dating back to 1060, and is located in Dudda, a hamlet of Greve in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the Via Francigena.
Immersed in nature, surrounded by fairytale chestnut woods, meadows and olive groves, it is a quiet, welcoming and relaxing corner where peace and silence dominate.
The farmhouse is divided into two apartments, one on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom, and one on the first floor, organized on two levels, with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both equipped with living room and kitchenette.
It is the ideal place for families, a group of friends or for a romantic getaway, where to embrace the beautiful Tuscan countryside in all its beauty and idyllic peace and where only the chirping of birds or the sound of the creek can "disturb" your relaxation.
Our mansion is the ideal place both as a base for your excursions to discover the villages, farms in the area, and Tuscan cities famous all over the world, and as a welcoming refuge to relax on the return of your days of visits, comfortably seated in the cool of the outdoor area or immersed in the private olive grove.
It is also an ideal starting point for those who love hiking or biking: Chianti is in fact a wonderful area, which offers beautiful routes of all levels, to be explored on foot or with any type of bike, whether they are hybrid, racing or mountain bikes.
The property is located in Case di Vico, in the hamlet of Dudda, an ancient small village of Roman origin in the Chianti area, 11 km from Greve in Chianti and 30km from Florence and consists of 2 apartments, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor and will welcome you in an intimate, familiar and authentic environment.
You will breathe the atmosphere of ancient times, thanks to a faithful and refined recent innovative renovation, that has been able to enhance the uniqueness of the structure.
The careful selection of valuable materials and particular furnishing typical of the past, expertly restored and brought back to life, coexist with the efficiency of modern comforts in a simple and sober way.
