Bella Vista

5 inviting vineyard apartments in the heart of Chianti. Pool and beautiful surroundings. Walking distance to restaurant.

When you turn into the courtyard in front of the apartments at Bella Vista, you are struck by the magnificent view. The buildings have been completely renovated and were opened for rent in the autumn of 2011. The apartments and the annex are separated from each other by private patios with tables, parasols and chairs. New beautiful pool area, with panoramic views. Around the property are vines and olive groves. Walking distance to the local bar and trattoria where delicious Tuscan food is served. At the local bar you can start the day in Italian style with a cornetto (croissant) and cup of espresso.

The Italian family that owns the place runs a vineyard opposite. Here you can taste the proud owner’s products. The place produces wine, olive oil, vin santo and grappa.
