Accommodation in the Tuscany countryside, close to Siena, Italy

Castellare de' Noveschi, Siena

Set in the secluded village of San Sano, in the heart of Italy's beautiful Chianti region, the Castellare de'Noveschi, Siena offers a quite magical venue for your vacation in Tuscany. The old tower, recently restored to offer luxurious accommodation, sits 19km from Siena and not far from the city of Florence. This is the typical Chianti: a medieval village immersed in olive groves and vineyards. Strolling down the streets of this Tuscan town you seem to be breathing the unspoiled peace of a past almost forgotten. Here you will quickly relax into a way of life still dominated by the Arcadian rhythms of old Italy.

And there are plenty of the fruits of Tuscan nature to enjoy too - Chianti is famously home to some of Italy's finest wines, and Tuscany has superb cuisine: simple, wholesome, enjoyable. But while you are enjoying a return to the simple life, there is no need to forgo your modern luxuries. The rooms at this Chianti hotel boast air conditioning, direct modem link and direct dial phone, minibar, DVD player and VCR, in-room safe and hairdryer. The staff at the Castellare de'Noveschi, Siena will arrange transfers to and from the airport and baby sitting services. And trips into the magical city of Siena are a must - simply ask your hosts.
