The alchemy with history and the surrounding “terroir”, infuses Castello di Spaltenna with an authenticity that especially in the Chianti area, has become a rare commodity. The centuries-old echoes from the ancient monastery and restored complex, date back to the Middle Ages offering a deep connection with Tuscany’s feudal past and Romanic style ecclesiastical architecture. Bygone memories, also resonate within the magical cloister where during summer months, the Michelin-starred restaurant Il Pievano performs its en plein air candle light service. At arrival, guests are greeted by a row of iconic cypress trees and by the millenary profile of Pieve (church) dedicated to Santa Maria in Spaltenna. Inside its stone walls, the castle offers a synthesis of discreet elegance and calmness through charming rooms decorated with period furniture, lush gardens and a spa area with open air swimming pool overlooking vineyards, woods and hills.
