From restored farmhouses, ancient towers, wine estates and charming manors set in the countryside, Abercrombie & Kent’s collection of private estates delivers an ultimate luxury escape experience.
Catering for multi-generational families and small groups (of up to 19 guests), the Chianti Collection of A&K private estates have been curated to the highest standard and feature five stunning properties ranging from 5 to 10 bedrooms.
A private estate in Italy
Located in the wine region of Chianti, the most quintessentially Tuscan part of Tuscany stretching between Florence and Siena. The region is home to world famous wines, medieval castles, and hilltop villages, with an undulating countryside studded with cypress and olive trees.
The Luxury Villas
Each with their own distinctive flair and historical significance, the five luxury Italian Villas in this collection include:
1. Il Cellese – Private wine estate
A 20-year restoration has transformed the ruins of this family-run private wine estate in Castellina into a drop-dead gorgeous villa that sleeps 19, a vision of Tuscan tradition given a cool, contemporary twist.
2. Palazzo Bellavista – 18th Centaury Villa outside Florence
A deeply romantic 18th-century villa in sun-dappled grounds just outside Florence.
3. Podere La Piana - Restored Tuscan Farmhouse
Just 3km from the medieval town of Radda in Chianti, this sensitively restored five-bedroom Tuscan farmhouse sits on a family-owned wine estate.
4. Podere La Gloria – A medieval hilltop tower hideaway
A sunny hilltop hideaway conjured out of a medieval tower, in a secluded spot between Florence and Siena.
5. Borgo Castello – A medieval vineyard villa
Set on a working wine estate, a country mile from the medieval hilltop town of Radda, this six-bedroom villa has sensational views of Chianti’s olive groves and vineyards.
Charming service that extends beyond the villa
Guests staying at an A&K private estate will experience VIP treatment and complete range of services that extend well beyond just the keys to the delightfully appointed villa. Each stay at a private estate includes:
