On the edge of a small 17th century village centered around the Griccioli family Villa, all the farmhouses have been restored. These houses were renovated and furnished with special care to preserve the wooden beamed ceilings and tiled floors. The views are outstanding, particularly the view of Siena in the distance and the panoramic view of rolling hills with vineyards and olive groves.Guests enjoy use of their own pool in the garden, while tennis, horse riding and mountain bike hire are available nearby. Home-produced wine and olive oil can be purchased from the main Montechiaro estate, were Alessandro, wine producer and Sommelier will let you experience his "Montechiaro wine experience", sharing his wine in a unforgettable wine tasting. Available also for external clients who want to discover Chianti wines.
