Luxury agriturismo amidst the vineyards of the Brunello

As a lover of fine wine it was strange that I still did not have a nice agriturismo near Montalcino, known for the world famous Brunello wine. So that had to change. But it turned out to be not so easy as I thought, because I could only find expensive resort accommodation. Until I came across this beautiful winery. I live only 20 minutes away from Montalcino, so I quickly made an appointment with the friendly owner Francesco.

Breakfast, wine tasting & pool

It must be said that this vineyard also belongs in the category "special luxury", but it certainly is worth it! From the agriturismo you have beautiful views of the Val d'Orcia. It is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, just 2 km from the charming town of Montalcino. The whole family, two brothers and a sister, are involved in wine production and the reception of guests. The apartments are about 200 metres from the agriturismo’s own wine cellar. They were built in completely authentic Tuscan style. The interior is contemporary and equipped with all modern conveniences. The agriturismo has a nice pool, with separate shallow end. Naturally wine tastings are organised (on request) and you can also have breakfast. There is no restaurant, but nearby (ca. 2 km) is a restaurant where the agriturismo’s wine is served. They would be happy to reserve a table for you!

The apartments

The agriturismo has five apartments of various sizes. The stylish interior is specially striking and the apartments are equipped with air conditioning, wifi, satellite TV and mini-bar (of course with their own wines). All apartments have an outdoor terrace with table and chairs. The kitchens are small but functional (a two-burner induction hob).

In short

A luxurious and elegant agriturismo amidst the vineyards of the Brunello near the charming town of Montalcino (in Val d'Orcia). An absolute must for lovers of good wine and comfort!
