Overlooking the medieval hamlet of Artimino, these self-catering apartments have a lovely hilltop location, surrounded by rolling hills, ancient olive groves and vineyards. A restful and relaxing holiday is guaranteed here with just the rustling of olive trees in the gentle breeze to disturb you. Drink in the magnificent views over the surrounding countryside, lie back on a sun lounger on the terrace overlooking the village or take a refreshing dip in the pool. Staying here, you have the best of both worlds as you can enjoy the serenity of your countryside retreat before taking a five minute stroll to the cobbled streets of Artimino where you can explore the artisan shops, stop for a delicious gelato at the family-owned ice-cream parlour and dine at one of the superb local restaurants. Guests of the Artimino Apartments are welcome to use the facilities at the nearby Hotel Paggeria Medicea, which is just a ten minute walk away. The hotel has a larger pool, tennis courts and bikes for local exploration, as well as the Biagio Pignatta restaurant which serves fresh Tuscan cuisine made with ingredients from the Artimino Farm and fine local wines. The air-conditioned apartments have been converted from historic farmhouse buildings and they remain typically Tuscan with a rustic style. Studios are split-level with one bedroom and a dining area with kitchenette. The One and Two Bedroom Apartments – some of which are set on two levels – are more spacious and feature a separate living room with sofa beds.
Steeped in history and bursting with rustic charm, this romantic 14th-Century farmhouse has beautiful gardens, pretty courtyards and a charming cloister. Take a short uphill walk to the outdoor pool, which is free for hotel guests, although there is a charge for the hire of sun loungers and parasols. Inside the Villa, there's an indoor pool, plus a sauna, steamroom, Jacuzzi and Turkish bath. The wellness centre offers a wide range of treatments designed to soothe, rejuvenate and relax. The noble floor of the Villa is an actual museum adorned with Florentine, Sienese and Umbrian paintings alongside other interesting artefacts. Wine lovers will be fascinated by the wine cellar, still complete with antique machinery and large oak barrels used in ancient production. The restaurant serves authentic Tuscan cuisine along with international dishes and, during the summer, the pretty ivy-draped courtyard provides a delightful setting for meals. During the winter months you can dine in the evocative antique hall. The renovated rooms feature classic décor and modern amenities including air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The Classic Rooms are located on the second floor and are accessible via a small courtyard while the Comfort Rooms are set in the main wing.
Hidden in glorious vineyards with spectacular views of Chianti’s rolling hills, this 11th-Century former monastery has been beautifully restored into a luxury hotel where the gardens are adorned with aromatic vineyards, olive groves and shady cypress trees. There’s a choice of three swimming pools to cool off in and although it’s tempting to spend all day relaxing, there’s the opportunity to leave the hotel by bicycle and explore the beautiful surrounding area. For days of pure relaxation and pampering the Wellness Spa caters for every need. Dining at the Castel Monastero is a unique experience as both restaurants are overseen by Gordon Ramsay. The elegant Contrada overlooks the piazza and serves gourmet Italian cuisine. For a more authentic Tuscan experience, book a table at La Cantina which is set in the monastery’s medieval wine cellars, and enjoy fresh, local produce accompanied by an excellent selection of fine wines. The rooms and suites feature a contemporary design and charming views of the courtyard, the gardens or the surrounding countryside. Deluxe Rooms are slightly larger than Superior Rooms. The elegant Prestige Rooms are even more spacious and have an inviting lounge area while the Tuscan-style Junior Suites feature a lounge and are ideal for groups of up to four.
