Castello di Santa Maria Novella
The 10th century castle, a national landmark, stands on the highest point between Florence and Siena, in the incomparable Chianti region, above one of the best scenery you'll find anywhere in the world.
Destroyed and reconstructed three times, it has been formerly a lookout post for the Florentine army, giving a commanding view of the whole central Tuscany : from here you can see Florence, Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano and Pisa.
This tranquil corner of the Tuscan countryside provides the castle guests with a unique environment for study and reflection and a suggestive atmosphere, stepping in the past without straying too far from the present.
The castle's estate, two hundred and fifty acres' property, is a working farm and produces its own wine, extra virgin olive oil, Vin Santo and honey.
