Podere 1384

A 14th-century podere on 123 acres of meadow, vine, and olive above the Pesa valley, restored with quiet confidence into one of the most intimate luxury properties in Chianti. With only six rooms and a four-bedroom villa, there are never more than 22 guests on the estate — a scale that allows a level of personalised attention rare in any category. The restaurant, Il Sorbo 1384, is a serious draw in its own right: an à la carte kitchen drawing on the kitchen garden and local producers, housed in a setting of extraordinary stillness. The infinity pool looks out over an unbroken arc of Chianti hills.
