The Tenuta di Lupinari is in effect
a hamlet all of its own, lying amidst 750 acres of woods, vineyards
and centuries old olive trees. The area has remained miraculously unspoilt
and unchanged across the centuries, and today offers a striking oasis
of peace and tranquility.
Tenuta di Lupinari is one of the largest private, family-owned estates in Chianti. The Castello Lupinari, home of the owners, was designed by the famous Italian architect, Coppede, at the turn of the century in the style of a mediaeval castle. The hamlet ('borgo') lies behind the castle, and has been completely reconstructed into 10 large and nicely appointed apartments designed for holiday rentals. |

There is a very large pool, a restaurant,
and estate produce is available for sale to guests. Bucine is just to
the south and west of Montevarchi, between Arezzo and Siena. The official
vineyards of Chianti begin here and extend to the east, giving visitors
ample opportunity to explore the small roads and hill towns of Tuscany.
The town of Bucine is small but complete, with a Wednesday morning market
and an excellent simple restaurant.
The apartments in the borgo are all fully serviced, have large bedrooms with ensuite facilities, spacious living rooms, large gardens and terraces. The apartments have been carefully restored with elegance and taste, and are furnished with antique pieces.
