The Villa
With interiors of terracotta tiles and exposed beams and bold abstract art on the stone walls, Il Cellese fuses quintessential Tuscan charm with state-of-the-art modernity. Headline acts include the indoor and outdoor pools, an open-air yoga studio and indoor wellness area with gym, sauna and steam room. The estate’s nearby winery offers a private restaurant space that invites oenophiles to sample wine produced by the villa’s own vineyard, where custom barrels are painted by artists Santiago Ydáñez and Miki Leal. (Take home your favorite bottles in the villa’s custom-made crocodile leather trunk.) In the beautifully landscaped gardens is a wood-fired pizza oven and barbecue for those who love to cook, with a terrace for under-the-stars suppers overlooking Chianti’s hills and Il Cellese’s rows of vines.
The Location
The cute Tuscan town of Castellina is a 10-minute drive from Il Cellese. Those interested in architecture and history will be curious to learn about its connections to Filippo Brunelleschi, founding father of Renaissance architecture. This authentically Italian neighborhood is home to a handful of low-key, family-run trattorias serving delicious, simple, Mediterranean flavors and time-honored recipes alongside fabulous homegrown wine. Castellina’s hilltop position provides a fresh perspective on the vine-lined countryside that rolls out like a green carpet in every direction towards Siena and Florence.
