Description

Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, our 200 y. o. stone farmhouse is on a hilltop with a spectacular view over the Greve valley - filled with ancient castles, picturesque villages, and farms where you can taste genuine local products. Ancora del Chianti Country BB & Art Retreat in Tuscany provides bed-and-breakfast accommodation with double and twin rooms in a converted Chianti farmhouse.

Think of Tuscany and you probably picture somewhere like Ancora del Chianti. That means hospitality, a friendly atmosphere and magnificent scenery. Free WIFI connection in common areas only.

Your hosts are Laura and Filippo. Laura will be taking care of you during your stay. She decorated the house herself and spends her spare time sewing and painting the flowers in the beautiful garden. Each morning she provides breakfast on the terrace. Filippo has devoted himself to the vineyards and the olive groves producing Chianti and olive oil.

This is the perfect spot to relax, in the courtyard and on the lawns which surround the house. But when you venture further afield you'll find plenty to do. There are local castles, villages, and farms to visit, as well as excellent local walks, horse riding, mountain biking, tennis, lake fishing and much more. Laura and Filippo are also happy to offer suggestions about wine tours with tastings in Chianti, Montalcino, San Gimignano and Montepulciano; visits to the major cities such as Florence, Siena and Arezzo; and shopping at the hottest fashion outlets.

What guests say

Reviews consistently highlight the property's stunning views and peaceful location amidst the Chianti countryside. Guests praise host Laura for her warmth, helpfulness, and local recommendations. Rooms are described as clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. Breakfasts are generous and enjoyed in a friendly, communal atmosphere. Some mention the narrow or unpaved access road, though most agree that the tranquility and scenery more than make up for it. This property suits those seeking a relaxing, authentic Tuscan experience.

Although the hotel's location is somewhat far from the town, it is situated in a wonderful place, with spectacular views where you can enjoy nature and the tranquility of the countryside. The lovely treatment of its owner Laura, who is always attentive to your needs, is remarkable. We will definitely come back!

The garden is very beautiful, with some very panoramic areas, and well equipped with tables, chairs, benches, deck chairs, sunbeds, distributed in different areas, so that each guest can choose whether to isolate themselves from others, or socialize on the terrace also used for breakfast. The road to get there in some stretches is very narrow, but fortunately it is rare to meet other cars.

I must say it's really a nice place, just a bit out of the way. The manager of the structure (Mrs. Laura) is very kind and puts you at ease right away. Very peaceful place with a beautiful view.

This haven of peace, ideally located to discover Tuscany and especially Chianti, is run by Laura who knows how to warmly welcome you and give you advice. What a luck to be able to come back in the evening after our excursions to the quiet of this beautiful property with a breathtaking view of the olive trees and vineyards.

We unfortunately stayed only one night at this property but it was a spectacular experience that we will definitely repeat very soon. Laura and Debora were very kind and professional, the room and everything in general extremely clean, well furnished, and nothing left to chance. Breathtaking view, and a very suggestive breakfast in a veranda outdoors immersed in the quietness. To reach the property, you have to take a dirt road, but nothing impossible, it's worth it. Free parking. Highly recommended.

Welcomed by Laura and Philipo we had a great stay at Ancora del Chianti. A very pleasant room in a beautiful property located in this beautiful Tuscany that our charming hostess helped us discover. And what about the breakfasts and the kindness of Daniella or Valentina, too good! Enchantment.

Really enjoyed our stay. Laura was a very welcoming host and made our stay very enjoyable. She also booked us on an olive oil tour and tasting as well as a tour of a castle owned by a family that produces very fine wines (Verrazzano) and they served us a fantastic lunch.

Excellent facility in the heart of Chianti. The owners and Alessandra were very welcoming and helpful. Alessandra's cakes for breakfast were fantastic.\n\nTo reach the B&B, you have to drive along a long dirt road but it's worth it considering the magnificent view you enjoy once you arrive.

Beautiful structure with a large capacity for hosting (groups, activities of so-called "cultural" and/or "artistic" dimension). Cosmopolitan welcome ++; great performance regarding breakfast. Small kitchen available to holidaymakers. Thanks to Laura, Alexandra and Emmanuelle.

The ex Farm is freshly redecorated in style. Laura charms everyone and is very knowledgeable on the surroundings.\n\nAlexandra serves the best breakfast at one big table and entertains the guests so that everyone starts talking. The best B&B we stayed at.

We stayed in 4 and we had a very good experience in all respects. Friendly and professional managers and a very comfortable structure in a good location in the Chianti area and well positioned to visit the main Tuscan cities. We will be back.
