About the host
Hosted by Chuck Irwin
I moved to Siena in 2005 to spend a few months taking Italian classes. The few months turned into many months with weekends spent exploring the entire Tuscan region. I wandered into San Sano one afternoon, and found one of the most amazing villages I have ever seen. A borgo was under renovation, a transformation of a 700 year old structure into something inviting. It was a re-imagination of old into new. It had my name all over. Now, I can share it with you.
Why they chose this property
The village of San Sano, in the heart of the Chianti in Tuscany is one of the most beautiful villages I had ever seen. It was the location for the film, Stealing Beauty. The village, just a 20 minute drive from Siena, sits atop a hill, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. The little village, population 60, consists of building built from the 14th thru 16th century, but all lovingly restored. It is quiet, safe, remote, yet convenient. Visitors to the village have often asked me 'Is this a private resort?'. Imagine - an entire village that seems like a resort, all at your doorstep. Our property has its own small vineyard surrounding the gardens with the pool set on the edge. It is an amazing place.
What makes this property unique
First and foremost is the peace and quiet. There are few places left on earth accessible where you will find absolute quiet. It is so convenient to all Tuscany has to offer, but because it sits atop a small hill, off the beaten path, you will find it to be safe, charming and quiet. Although the buildings are over 700 years old, they have been lovingly restored with all the features that make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. The luxury queen beds, feather pillows and jacuzzi bath will ensure a restful nights sleep after a day of touring. I also have a small outdoor garden area complete with teak wood table, chairs and umbrella to dine al fresco or just sit and take in the beauty of our small vineyard and pool area.
