Nestled on the Chianti hills between forests and streams, there is an organic farm, with an historic wine cellar in operation since 1404. Halfway between Florence and Siena, this farm appears, in an uncontaminated landscape of streams, forests and ancient hamlets scattered on the hills surrounding it. It is an estate with magnificent gardens, forests and agricultural land that covers over 400 hectares on the hills between Greve and Panzano in Chianti. The heart of the estate is its renaissance villa, built in 1300 by the Gherardini family, and surrounded by gardens that fill the spaces between rows of cypress trees, vineyards and olive groves.
In the heart of the estate, on the banks of the peaceful Greve River, lies Podere dell’Orto, a homestead immersed in nature. Surrounded by a lush, natural garden, the little stone hamlet is ideal for families and groups of friends wanting the tranquillity of the countryside, and complete privacy. It is available for weekly rental. Podere dell’Orto, an old farm surrounded by fruit trees and once renowned for its vegetables. Settled on the green Montagliari plain, on a route enjoyed by hiking enthusiasts, Podere dell’Orto has been faithfully restored, retaining its original structure. The homestead is a picture of cheerfulness and tranquillity on the banks of the river, perfect for anyone who enjoys wide open spaces in nature
