Welcome to a private realm where luxury meets authenticity. This one-of-a-kind property, set in an extraordinary location, offer more than just a stay—it invites guests to explore, reconnect, and be inspired through curated experiences in well-being, culture, and nature.
The Club House
History & Story
The hotel was inaugurated in spring 2022, after twelve years of renovation of an 18th century farmhouse, bringing new energy and splendor to this corner of Tuscany, driven by a deep love for the region and a desire to add value to the area.
The Club House’s aim is to create a unique blend of local history and tradition with modern and immersive luxury hospitality. The choice of materials, such as stone, wood and traditional roof tiles, offers a touch of elegance and homely coziness. Guests are invited to fully immerse themselves in the romantic and private atmosphere of Chianti, allowing themselves to be inspired by the beauty that surrounds them.
Date Renewal
The last restoration coincides with the property renovation ending in March 2022.
