Villa Bernardi is a beautifully restored Tuscan country house dating back to the 11th century. Surrounded by forests and the vineyards of the Monte Bernardi estate, it offers complete privacy and a refined base for anyone wishing to explore the Chianti at its most authentic.
Just three kilometres away lies the charming village of Panzano in Chianti, known for its culinary scene and local character. It is home to the famous butcher Dario Cecchini, whose traditional shop and celebrated restaurant Officina della Bistecca attract food lovers from around the world. A lively market with fresh regional produce takes place every Sunday. Other well-known Chianti towns such as Greve, Radda, Gaiole, and Volpaia are also within easy reach. Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano are perfect options for memorable day trips.
The house, built from natural stone, is set in spacious, well-tended gardens with large lawns, colourful flowerbeds, and furnished terraces decorated with terracotta planters. Several outdoor seating areas invite you to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A highlight is the 15-metre pool, nestled among trees that open up to reveal sweeping views of the Chianti hills.
Inside, Villa Bernardi combines historical charm with modern comfort. Wooden beam ceilings, brick vaults, exposed stone walls, and natural tones create a warm and elegant atmosphere. Antique furnishings blend with contemporary design, soft textiles, and hand-picked décor. On the ground floor, a well-equipped gym is also available for guests who want to stay active during their stay.
