Your Tuscan home
Ancora del Chianti is a stone, hilltop farmhouse close to Florence and Siena with spectacular views over the valley of Greve in Chianti. It is surrounded by lush gardens, vineyards, olive groves and boasts stunning panoramic views. The spring welcomes us with fields full of anemones, daffodils, tulips ad wild gladioli with a variety of colours and shapes. This blissful, secluded gem is the perfect environment to relax and reconnect.
The property has retained its typical tuscan, rustic style. Each room is different in terms of size and furnishings and reflects the owners’ passion for art, creativity and the Chianti countryside. In the bathrooms, toiletries (hand soap, shampoo and shower gel) have a rich nourishing formula based on Tuscan olive oil with a pleasant and fresh natural fragrance.

Getting there and Away
|
Ancora Del Chianti is located 5km from Greve in Chianti, roughly 25km from Florence. The farmhouse is closest to Amerigo Vespucci Airport in Florence and Santa Maria Novella train station central Florence. The second closest airport is the Pisa Airport, Galileo Galilei. However, sometimes it is easier to fly to Rome, then take a fast train to Florence. Amerigo Vespucci Airport is located only four kilometers from the center of Florence. Transportation costs are not included in the retreat fees but it is possible to coordinate private transport from Florence for a fee of €200 each way. Rental cars can be hired and will allow you the freedom to enjoy the Tuscan countryside on your own. |
