Secluded on a hill, this ancient farmhouse sits atop a sea of vineyards framed by olive groves and forest. Casalta dates back to the 1700s, and the original stables and farm workers' lodgings have been beautifully converted and restored into six apartments, all but one opening onto a small courtyard. The owners live on the property with their two small children, and are always available to help in any way possible. Fluent English is spoken.

Casalta is situated between the villages of Panzano (5km) and Castellina-in-Chianti (8km), on the scenic Highway 222 from Sienna (27km) to Florence (35km). This places you in the heart of Chianti, ideal for sightseeing. The 1.5km drive to the property is along an unpaved road that winds its way up through the vineyards that belong to Melini. 
Here you can completely relax and unwind, perhaps choosing to read under the olive trees in the garden, or lounge about in the 7x11m pool which is an enclosed, separate area with breathtaking views out over the hills. Or maybe a stroll - we promise no cars will disturb you.

All the apartments have been furnished to the highest standards in genuine Tuscan style. Local ceramics have been used throughout. Each kitchen is fully equipped with oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and iron

How to get to Casalta

From Florence, take the A1 Autostrada direction Rome and exit at Certosa. Then take the Siena Superstrada and exit at San Donato. Turn left towards Castellina at the temporary-looking traffic light, turn left at the signs for Panzano, Radda and Greve. Follow this windy road past Piazza all the way to the end (approximately 10 mins). At the bottom, turn right in the direction of Castellina. After 500 m, turn right taking the unmarked road in between the two little houses. You will also see signs for Casalta along the road.
