Five (5) nights at an artfully restored 16th Century Farmhouse Estate tucked in the vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico.  Five luxurious bedroom suites, all with their own spa-like bedrooms.  A new chef’s style kitchen (with an original fireplace), outdoor terrace with a pizza oven and dining areas create space for gathering and celebrating.  Cypress trees surround a gorgeous, heated swimming pool, lounge areas and bocce court with panoramic vineyard views. In the town of Gaiole, less than an hour’s drive from Florence and only a half hour from Siena. With you own Experience Curator who will take care of you as if you were his dear friends.  https://www.cuvee.com/villas/italy-tuscany-tuscan-farmhouse/
