The Villa
It was while holidaying nearby that an Austrian family stumbled across a pair of ruins on the other side of the valley. Having purchased them both, they tasked a local architect with their restoration. Five-bedroom farmhouse Podere La Piana, which is surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and rolling hills, was completed in 2019 (sister property Borgo Castelletto followed a year later). Rustic-modern interiors marry exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings and vintage wooden furniture with bold artwork, velvet sofas and shimmering statement lighting. The ground floor living room, kitchen and dining room all open out onto the garden where there’s a shady loggia for eating outside; upstairs, the bedrooms are all en suite (the largest have walk-in wardrobes). The lower ground floor houses the gym, steam room and wine cellar, which is stocked with buyable bottles from the winery. Games for all ages, such as table tennis, boules and table football, provide fun entertainment during downtime.
The Location
Of all Chianti’s quintessential Tuscan hilltop towns, Radda takes the top spot, with its medieval tangle of streets, charming old houses and 360-degree views over the surrounding vineyards and golden hills. It’s in the heart of the Chianti Classico DOC, a designation with a history that dates back more than 300 years, and some of the best wines in the world. The food is just as good, with local restaurants creating the most delicious dishes from the top-quality seasonal local produce, and in fabulous settings.
