About this property
Completely renovated ancient villa and tower in the heart of Chianti, Tuscany!
This is a unique and historic wine country villa set in the heart of one of the most famous wine countries in the world, Chianti. The Tower was built circa1085, making it nearly 1000 years young. The interior has been completely remodeled and outfitted with all of the modern amenities. Contemporary and comfortable furnishings throughout complement the ancient walls of this Tuscan villa.
Nearly every room boasts views of the mountain atop which the ruins of Montegrossi Castle are perched. Torre di Cancelli was, in fact, built to protect the highly coveted castle. A mild hike up the hill will take you inside this historic monument.
A short walk down the road leads you to the stunning Badia a Coltibuono, a former monastery that bottles its own wine and olive oil. Cooking classes, a restaurant, wine tasting, and tours are just a few of the things the abbey has to offer.
8km away, Radda in Chianti is a prized and ancient town in the area. A favorite local restaurant is Bottega da Giovannino. Be sure to say hi to Monica, the owner. She's quite the wine enthusiast and the food is excellent.
In the main house there are 5 bedrooms. 2 additional bedrooms in annex for a total of 7 bedrooms.
For those parties greater than 10 people, the annex with 2 bedrooms (max occupancy 4) will be opened. Those parties of 10 or less, will be hosted in the main house and tower only. If you desire the all 7 bedrooms and you have 10 or less guests in your party, you must make additional payment. Please inquire with owner before completing your booking.
MAIN HOUSE:
Ground floor: 1 bedrooms with king, 1 bedroom with queen size beds; 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds.
In the tower: 2 bedrooms: 1 with queen size (3rd floor), 1 with 1 twin and one double (2nd floor bunk beds), 1 full bath (2nd floor).
ANNEX:
1 bedroom with queen size; 1 loft with queen size.
1 Full bath.
GROUNDS:
10 acres of private property.
Outdoor pool, wood fire oven (perfect for pizzas), pool side gazebo and solarium.
Bocce court.
Outdoor dining with gazebo and BBQ.
Large stone patio between the main house and annex, great place for a wedding party, reunion or luxury vacation.

I was raised in Italy and moved when I was in elementary school to the USA.
I'm a dual citizen and reside in USA. I've always wanted to own property in Italy and have been able to realize my dream. I hope you enjoy this place and make very special memories.
