A 14th century Roman-style chapel marks the entrance to the idyllic village of Casanuova di Ama. The village itself is comprised of a small cluster of houses surrounded by the vineyards of Casanuova di Ama, the wine and oil-producing farm of the marvelous Bencini family. Centered between the medieval towns of Radda and Gaiole in Chianti, Casanuova di Ama is an easy 1-hour drive to Florence and a mere 25 minutes to Siena.
The hamlet has several local residents however they do not use the large swimming pool which is for use only by 3 villas. The pool is in a lovely sunny position with excellent views of the vine covered hills and valley below.
This pretty little hamlet is a few minutes drive from Lecchi in Chianti, a village which has a good restaurant, small shop and wine bar/cafe. Also nearby there is one of the five main Chianti towns, Radda in Chianti, which is the perfect place to spend an afternoon taking in the local atmosphere. This town has all amenities. Casanuova di Ama has excellent views from its hillside position. It is also ideally located in the beautiful countryside so that you can take many interesting walks through the vineyards and olive groves that surround the hamlet.
