RELAIS RISERVA DI FIZZANO

The Relais Riserva di Fizzano is a medieval “borgo” (hamlet), owned by the Rocca delle Macìe winery, which rises up on a hilltop in the heart of the Chianti Classico production zone, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The hamlet, which dates from the 11th century, has recently undergone a painstaking renovation, overseen by architects Fabio Zingarelli and Lucia Peretti, which has made the most of the existing architectural structure, equipping it with every imaginable comfort to provide guests with highest-quality services and unrivaled privacy in an exceptionally relaxing atmosphere. Here, guests can enjoy a vacation that places them in direct contact with the natural world, in every season: fall offers the warm colors and aromas of the harvest; winter is full of crystal-clear days and invigorating air; spring affords the opportunity to experience at first hand the glorious reawakening of nature; and, last but not least, summer offers wonderful breezes, a relaxed atmosphere, the joys of the swimming pool and the spectacle of the fireflies’ nocturnal illuminations. Located along the ancient “Via Francigena”, halfway between Siena and Florence and close to San Gimignano and Volterra, the Relais comprises six buildings, which play host to a total of 19 apartments, along with gardens and extensive landscaped areas, a chapel, two swimming pools, a bar, a restaurant and a small retail outlet selling the wines, olive oil and honey made by Rocca delle Macìe. Original tiled flooring, vaulted wooden ceilings, grand fireplaces and ancient feeding troughs are just some of the features that you can find inside the apartments, all of which are furnished with understated elegance in rural Tuscan style to evoke the magic of times past. At the Riserva di Fizzano, you will enjoy a wonderful vacation that’s all about the flavors, colors and atmosphere of the Chianti production zone – you are sure to experience all of the emotions that this unique, inimitable land succeeds in evoking in everyone who sets foot here.
