EXPLORE TUSCANY

Perfectly placed
for getting wonderfully lost

One of the greatest luxuries of staying at Tenuta Ceccatelli is knowing that you don’t have to choose between peace and possibility.

Set in the heart of Chianti Classico, the estate feels blissfully secluded, yet some of Tuscany’s most beautiful towns, wineries and landscapes are all within easy reach. One morning, you’re wandering the backstreets of Siena. Next, you’re lingering over lunch in Greve before taking the long way home through the vineyards, where every winding road seems to reveal another hilltop village. Or follow the historic Via Romea del Chianti, once travelled by pilgrims making their way to Rome. Whether by car, Vespa, bicycle or on foot, there’s no need for a fixed itinerary.

Some of the best discoveries are the ones you never planned.

Day Trips Worth Making

From medieval towers
to vineyard valleys

Within an easy drive of the estate, Tuscany unfolds in every direction.

Lose an afternoon among the towers of San Gimignano, browse artisan workshops in Volterra, lunch in a traditional trattoria in Chianti, or explore the Renaissance treasures of Florence. If you’re happy to venture a little further, the rolling landscapes of the Val d’Orcia, the celebrated wineries of Montalcino and Montepulciano, and the timeless streets of Lucca, Arezzo and Cortona each make a memorable day out. Every road leads somewhere worth stopping.
