Cresta del Chianti, Castelnuovo Berardenga - Siena and Chianti

11 bedrooms 9 bathrooms 18 guests Private Pool 5 - Superb - Superb 5

Open hilltop views, extensive private gardens and country comforts are awaiting your Chianti get-together at Cresta del Chianti. Sitting on the ridge between the vineyard rich Valdelsa and Chianti valleys there are views in all directions. On a stroll around the enclosed grounds, you'll see Siena's Duomo to the south, San Gimignano's towers to the west and southern Chianti dotted with strategically placed castles and watchtowers to the East.

The exclusive country retreat of Cresta del Chianti could not feel more apt for gatherings. The luxurious bedroom suites with reception areas provide the restored farmhouse with a perfect set up for family and friends to enjoy their own space, while the ground floor's superb open aspect is made for being together.

Cresta del Chianti has something for everyone. Those who are looking to relax will find the ample grounds are decorated with furnished terraces that offer superb views over the patchwork vineyards and olive groves of the Chianti beyond. The active may want to use the Cresta del Chianti's volleyball court or explore the endless marked walking and biking trails in the surrounding countryside. The basement gymnasium offers a place to work out or perfect your table football and American pool skills and the large swimming pool is ideal for a refreshing afternoon dip.

Day-trippers will be inspired to visit Siena 15Km away, San Gimignano at 30Km and Florence at 50Km, while village life can be found closer to home at Vagliagli's restaurant 1.7Km away or at the Chianti towns of Castellina, Radda and Lecchi all within 10Km. Wine lovers will not be disappointed to hear that Cresta del Chianti's terroir is as good as it is beautiful, there are ten wineries within 5Km of the villa and the villa has its own private wine tasting room in the basement.

After another perfect day in Tuscany, all may want to return home for a grill or pizza evening on request to the house manager, then return to the fire pit to experience the fireflies, open skies and summer moon spectacular across the Chianti hills.

A fantastic week. We loved the villa, its surroundings and the fabulous views. We were 3 generations of the same family, grandparents, grown up children and grand children. We all had great bedrooms and bathrooms. The common areas, kitchen, dining etc., were superb and well equipped with excellent facilities. Everywhere was spotless and we also got a mid-stay clean. Beds were all comfortable. The grounds and facilities were outstanding with a lovely pool, gym and plenty of areas for the kids to run around. They loved it. Sampath was a great host and very helpful.
Local attractions There was an excellent range of visits and experiences to choose from, all arranged by our host Sampath. Highlights were the visiting chef Claudio and his wife Elizabetta cooking us a 4 course meal from scratch in the villa, a cookery class another evening also from Claudio teaching the whole family pasta and pizza making, food which we then ate, and visits recommended and arranged by our host to the nearby Ristorante La Taverna Di Vagliagli and La Torre, both of which gave us a super meal and evening. We also enjoyed visits to the nearby town of Castellina in Chianti. In addition to visits to other nearby hill towns, we had a great day out in Siena, wandering the streets and lunching on the famous Piazza del Campo.
