Visiting Tuscany - in the Chianti countryside between Arezzo, Florence and Siena, this holiday farm offers accommodation in rental apartments and a small hotel. The farm also has an excellent restaurant.
Fattoria di Rendola is an old estate in the open hills of Chianti, surrounded by an extraordinary scenery of castles and old farms, and with a spectacular view over olive groves and vineyards. The Fattoria is 4km from the town of Montevarchi. Of historical interest and well worth a visit, it is also a commercial centre with a rail station connecting to Florence (40km), Arezzo (29km) and Siena (35km).

The fattoria offers apartments as well as rooms in the pretty Hotel Relais La Ramugina, an 18th century building. The larger apartments are in the older farm building, Castagnoli, next to the centuries-old gardens of the manor house. The smaller apartments are in the former granary, next to the wine cellars. During restoration great care was taken to maintain the beauty of the historical building while satisfying modern demands of comfort.
In the gardens of the house is a 16-metre swimming pool with hydro-massage tub.
