This medieval hamlet, surrounded by nearly 1000 acres of nature reserve in the heart of the Chianti hills, has been lovingly restored and converted to a 4-star hotel. Tenuta Di Ricavo is composed of a manor house and 4 surrounding farmer’s cottages. Rooms are available in different buildings and most have a traditional Tuscan design. This is a historic property that does not have a elevator. The rooms are reached by stairs. Tenuta Di Ricavo is tucked away from the noisy main roads and busy urban centers. However, despite its quiet location, the hotel is extremely central, exactly on the border between the provinces of Siena and Florence. When you are not relaxing in one of the hotel’s 2 swimming pools or reading in the library, you can stroll on the marked walking paths around the hotel or enjoy a work out at the gym. The hotel is open from April to October.
