Villa Montesassi

Villa Montesassi is set within twenty private acres on a wine-producing estate. The luxuriously planted gardens that wrap around the property feature an array of Mediterranean flowering shrubs, oak trees, private vineyards and centuries-old olive groves. Climbers and creepers scale the exterior walls of the four-hundred year-old stone farmhouse, allowing the property to blend into the surrounding landscape.
Perched at the end of a private driveway, Montesassi ensures maximum privacy and peacefulness on a secluded hilltop. Just 400 metres from the property lies La Piazza, a sleepy medieval village with one of the best restaurants in the area. Located in the heart of the Chianti winelands, some of Italy’s most celebrated wine dynasties including Antinori nel Chianti Classico, Castello di Ama and Tenuta Tignanello, are just 20 minutes by car. One of Tuscany’s prettiest hilltowns with an array of wine bars and restaurants, Castellina in Chianti, is just 10 minutes by car.
Accommodation at Montesassi is spread across three floors with fully air-conditioned sleeping quarters. Three spacious living rooms adorned with a fine collection of antiques and bookcases are quipped with comfy sofas and grand fireplaces. The Tuscan country style kitchen and a large dining room that seats 14, though you will probably take most of your meals prepared by your in-villa cook, al fresco on the multiple outdoor dining terraces. An abundance of drowsy terraces furnished for lounging and dining; manicured lawns with hidden paths, and a dreamy pool area bathed in sunlight, cater for al fresco living. Lush green lawns wrap around the private swimming pool that melts into a natural stone terrace. The floodlit clay tennis court is great for evening matches.
