Description Chianti Classico: Radda in Chianti

High up in the hills of Chianti sits this magnificent eighteenth-century residence, flanked by olive groves, rose gardens and lemon trees. The sublime archway structures harken back to the traditional Italian palazzo, and the interiors – prizing terracotta tiles and antique furniture – have a distinctly regal feel. With grounds that sprawl out over multiple hectares and rolling hills surrounding you, you’ll feel like royalty staying here. The dining room is prime for opulent banquets, while the arched patio and the poolside area will answer all of your relaxation needs. When the sun heats up, head down the terracotta steps for a cool swim under the Mediterranean sun. Even better, you’ll be surrounded by the lush vineyards and beautiful food of the Chianti region. What more could you want?

Home truths:
*You'll need a car to explore this area. There's free parking on site
*The pool is open from the end of April to the beginning of October
*Steps within the home and at the entrance mean it isn’t suited to those with limited mobility
