 "Poderi Val Verde": this privately owned beautiful old estate from the 16th century with its buildings of local quarry stone is situated in the heart of Tuscany - in the famous Chianti Classico region - nearby the wellknown small town of Castellina in Chianti (1,5 km) - half way between Florence (approx. 30 km) and Siena (approx. 20 km) on the famous panoramic road from San Donato to Siena. Silver cypresses guard the entrance. Already a few meters off the valley opens with a breathtaking view onto the romantic hamlet "Casanova di Ricavo" (559 m ue. d. M.) and onto the surrounding pine and oak forest as well as broom and juniper covered evergreen macchia slopes of the natural preserve "Oasi del Chianti". The guest house "Casa Pineta" - ex servant quarters and stables, the lovely small villa "Casa Capannina" - have been restored with lots of love and expenses. Romantic - the various small interlocking buildings, which cover various floors and still have their old beam ceilings and original cotto floors that have been left untoched as far as possible. Together with its typical local furniture this guarantees the special Tuscan countryside charm expected by our sophisticated international guests. The large community swimming pool (5,5x11 ) with its pavements of natural quarry stone and grass
leisure areas is situated on the windprotected sunny slopes slightly below the guesthouse.
Umbrellas and solitary trees provide shade. The comfortable shallow entry platform (3x3m) offers space and security also for the smallest of our guests.
All buildings are set in an extended wellcared garden park - the pride of the German owner and her staff. Cascades of flowers, rose bushes, citrus fruits as well as the surrounding meadows with many rare types of orchids and wild herbs create the unforgettable image of a lost paradise. Many cats, 2 big kind freeroaming male dogs , 1 lively female dog as well as various feathered animals bring life into this country paradise.
