If you didn't think that rustic tradition and decadent splendour went hand in hand then you've never been to Tenuta Ceccatelli. A gorgeous, centuries-old estate of incomparable beauty and yet filled with contemporary splendour, Tenuta Ceccatelli will steal your heart away.
Located amongst the rolling hills of the world-famous Chianti wine region, Tenuta Ceccatelli rests in the heart of Tuscan natural wonder and is surrounded by historic villages and towns. The charming local village of Fonterutoli is just four minutes away and 25 minutes will see you to the ancient walled town of Monteriggioni. The airport is only 50 minutes away and Florence is within easy reach for day trips. The home itself is treated to panoramic views across noble vineyards, shining olive groves and whispering wild oak forests.
The estate is formed of two spaces: the main house and the granary, making it perfect for a large group or families sharing. Both villas are characterised by incredible wooden-beamed ceilings, beautiful stone walls and warming wood and terracotta floors. The furnishings celebrate relaxation in splendour with opulent chandeliers, vintage ivory-hued furniture and plush, deep sofas.
The main house boasts a magnificent custom, chef's kitchen - including a Lavazza espresso machine - and a glorious living room both with authentic Tuscan fireplaces. The living room also hosts a fabulous SONOS sound system. There's a gorgeously elegant dining room and a boutique home gym.
All the bedrooms are havens of splendour and comfort, with vaulted wooden-beamed ceilings, sumptuous beds decked in Frette linens and gorgeous bathrooms. The five ensuites in the main house include two masters - one of which provides a king bed and adjacent small study, whilst the other offers an original wood-burning fireplace. Two queen suites have private terraces and a final queen suite includes a walk-in closet and particularly spectacular views.
The granary has especially wonderful original stonework and includes a custom chef's kitchen with Bardiglio grey Italian marble countertops and an Ofyr grill. There's a lovely open living room with a separate, delightful dining room. The two master suites - one king, one queen - boast amazing lofty ceilings, double Roman showers and incredible panoramic views.
Outside even more delights await in a multitude of al fresco dining spaces and magical secretive nooks to discover. There are two pergola-covered dining areas with one featuring an outdoor stone kitchen including a professional grill. The other is a fairytale, wisteria-draped space that oozes romance and includes a 14-seat travertine table.
There's a graceful curved swimming pool set in a sweeping stone deck surrounded by luscious greenery and replete with loungers. There's also a bocce ball court and table tennis. As the sunshine hits the gleaming, ancient stones around you, and the twining plants fill the air with their fragrances, you'll find your heart has gone out to this magical place and its enchantment won't end in a hurry.
