Description
If you're looking for an inspirational setting for your holiday, look no further than Villa Falti. A recently restored farmhouse positioned on the grounds of a castle and surrounded by idyllic Chianti countryside, it's pretty special.
And this is the place to immerse yourselves in true Tuscan country style. The villa itself is one of five properties on the castle estate (including the delightful Casale Brigida). Boasting bountiful olive groves, vineyards and even saffron fields, there are so many ways to explore the vast grounds, and the castle itself. You can even join a tour of the castle, where you'll get the chance to step into the ancient underground cellars for a tipple of the estate's renowned wine.
But, firstly, to the villa. A beautifully renovated farmhouse complete with rustic wooden beams and typical Tuscan furnishings, it's elegant yet cosy and comfortable. Villa Falti comprises the main villa with seven beautiful and spacious bedrooms, seven shower rooms and an independent annex with two additional bedrooms. It's the ideal place for an extended family or group of friends to enjoy the villa and its surroundings.
If you can manage to draw yourselves away from the gently sloping hills of Chianti and enter your villa, you'll be pleased you did. The kitchen is stylish, generously-sized and undoubtedly ample for cooking up a big Italian feast, using all the seasonal produce available to you of course. There's even a farm shop on-site - cinnamon jam anyone? But, if you're not quite in the mood for cooking, no worries, there's a restaurant in the grounds too - another opportunity to taste all that lovely olive oil and wine.
This is a self-catering family holiday made easy. If you want to take a night off from cooking, you can; if you've run out of anything, there's a shop on-site, if you're looking for things to do, there's plenty. You can even take cookery classes - and who wouldn't want to in Italy!
For the kids (and you, of course), there's a lovely private swimming pool where you can enjoy breathtaking views out towards the ancient walls of Castello del Trebbio. Or, just amble around the grounds. With so much of it to explore, you'll never tire of this beautiful, natural haven. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 - 6.00 p.m at the latest. /n Departure time /n 9.00 - 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Included in the rental price.
