Casale del Giglio

Basic information

is a charming country house located in the heart of Chianti, Tuscany?s rich and fertile winemaking area. Just a few minutes drive from the lively village of Greve, the property is in fact part of a winery owned by an aristocratic Florentine family, famous for producing one of Italy?s finest wines. Surrounded by vineyards, Casavecchia stands in a large garden with its own private pool. It has a spacious veranda from where you can enjoy commanding views of the surrounding landscape - rolling hills, vineyards and medieval villages - the ideal venue for al fresco dining and evening aperitifs. The winery itself stands a few hundred yards from the house and the owner would be delighted to invite guests staying at Casavecchia to a special wine-tasting and to the celebrated cuisine classes organised nearby. The three bedrooms on the first floor all have air conditioning.
