Located in the mountainside above the charming market town of Greve in Chianti La Tana sits in a small 100-acre estate with a large pool, and offers total peace and quiet with all the modern day conveniences. As seen in the Sunday Telegraph
Recently renovated by a team of English and Italian architects, La Tana consists of a large main house, and an adjacent Granary that in the past was used to weather and dry the grapes for Vin Santo and similar wines. The house is approached from Greve by an old gravel road leading up the mountain through olive plantations and vineyards. A high suspension car is recommended, and a Discovery is available for hire with the house.
The villa is surrounded by terraces containing mainly olive trees, and by a gentle oak and chestnut forest. The pool and adjacent granary overlook these terraces on all sides. There are fantastic views looking across the valley to Montagliari and Panzano in Chianti, and then on to San Gimignano. The views from the main terrace are quite breathtaking.
La Tana’s large swimming pool is set in a very secluded part of the gardens close to the house. The pool is surrounded by a hillside on one side and mature planting and trees on the others making this a very private area. The paved surround is furnished with sun loungers, tables and umbrellas.
Near to the pool is a large vine covered loggia with dining table and chairs underneath. There is also a working wood-fired bread oven which can be used for all types of outdoor cooking. This is the perfect spot for long leisurely meals, or relaxing with a glass of local wine overlooking the valley below.
The ground floor of the main house is where you will find the large well equipped kitchen with oven, five burner gas hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer with icemaker.
The kitchen also has a large open fireplace that can be used for heating or indoor wood fire barbecues.
The adjacent dining area has a dining table which can seat from 12 – 20 people and doors leading out onto a terrace which has lovely views of the surrounding wooded hillside. A further doorway leads into the lounge.
