Tenuta Ceccatelli

Tenuta Ceccatelli is a unique 17th-century estate located along the iconic Chianti Classico Wine Route in Tuscany, which has a heritage dating back to the 6th Century BCE. The estate comprises two artfully restored buildings and can accommodate up to 14 guests. Steeped in history and offering a perfect blend of luxury and eco-friendliness, this villa is the ideal choice for a countryside escape. The estate is a private oasis surrounded by forested hills, rolling vineyards, and olive groves. A heated saltwater pool is bordered by lush gardens, offering a tranquil space for a quiet dip. For relaxation post-dip, the pool area features sun loungers for soaking up the rays and a shaded lounge area. Outdoor living is a key feature of this luxury villa. Guests can unwind on sun-drenched terraces, savour a coffee with a view in a tranquil corner, or relish al fresco meals under cascading wisteria vines. Two outdoor stone kitchens with professional grills and one with a wood-fired pizza oven offer a casual and inviting dining experience. A cosy fire pit is perfect for cooler evenings, offering a place to gather, make s'mores and stargaze. Meanwhile, a recreation area - with a bocce court, table tennis, and a trampoline - promises hours of fun for all ages. The estate offers all the mod cons combined with eco-friendly features. From solar power and 100% renewable energy to rainwater harvesting, it epitomises barefoot luxury and Italian country living. Guests can enjoy boutique Chianti wines and extra virgin olive oil, both organically produced from the estate's own vineyards and groves. The estate also offers a curated selection of gourmet food products, premium meat cuts, cured meats, and cheeses, all sourced from the family-owned Bottega dating back five generations to 1890. At Tenuta Ceccatelli, guests experience a true gourmet journey that reflects the estate's dedication to quality, authenticity, and the soul of Tuscany. Exquisitely restored, the estate's main house and granary seamlessly blend timeless character with modern elegance, creating the perfect home-from-home for immersive travellers. Both buildings feature spacious living areas, custom-designed Tuscan kitchens, and sumptuous suites. The spacious interiors of the main house feature beautiful wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta tiled floors, and original fireplaces. Plush sofas around a crackling fireplace provide the perfect setting for relaxation, while the dine-in kitchen offers space for convivial dinner parties. A small gym is ideal for those keeping up their fitness routine. Finally, there are three master and two guest suites, all with en-suite or private facilities. Just a few steps from the main house lies the granary, a building steeped in historic charm. Once used for storing grain and farm animals in the Middle Ages, it has been transformed into a stylish home with nods to its past, such as the original stone backdrop behind the living room's dining table. Its impressive chef's kitchen features Italian marble countertops and a kitchen island, making it an elegant and social space. The granary also features two spacious bedrooms with en-suite facilities. Elegantly blending historic elements with modern amenities, Tenuta Ceccatelli is the ideal villa for a luxury escape to the Tuscan countryside. Whether for multigenerational family trips, small groups, corporate retreats, or romantic getaways, the extraordinary beauty and cultural richness of this magical residence are ready to be experienced by guests.
