What we inherit, we care for

The estate has been restored preserving its historic character while introducing systems that reduce environmental impact. Rainwater is collected to irrigate the gardens, filtered drinking water is available throughout the estate, and solar energy helps power daily operations. Low-consumption fixtures, efficient heating and lighting, and an electric vehicle charging station all contribute to a considered way of welcoming guests.

We are proud to produce award-winning organic wines, extra virgin olive oil and seasonal specialties using traditional methods and locally grown ingredients on this land. That connection naturally extends to the estate today, where private chef dinners, seasonal menus and curated tastings celebrate the flavors of Chianti. Guests are also invited to discover the wider region through visits to local wineries, olive groves and artisan producers.

The estate dates back to the seventeenth century, and a simple principle has guided every restoration decision: preserve first. Original stonework, terracotta floors, timber beams, and handcrafted details have been restored in collaboration with local artisans whose knowledge keeps traditional skills alive.

The Tenuta Ceccatelli team are local, bringing generations of knowledge, warm hospitality and genuine pride in the surrounding landscape. From private chefs to local guides, every recommendation is shaped by lived experience rather than a script.

The family’s commitment extends beyond the estate through ongoing support for cultural, educational and charitable organisations in Italy and abroad. From local institutions such as St Apostoli Church, ANT Onlus Foundation, The American Academy in Rome’s Sustainable Food Project and Corri la Vita, to international initiatives including the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Bradley Hospital, the first psychiatric hospital in the United States devoted exclusively to children and adolescents. Whether preserving local heritage, supporting healthcare initiatives or investing in community wellbeing, these partnerships reflect the same values that shape life at Tenuta Ceccatelli: respect, generosity and long-term care.

At Tenuta Ceccatelli, our aim is simple: to protect what has been entrusted to us, so future generations can experience the same beauty, tranquillity and sense of belonging that guests discover today.
