San Donato in Poggio, Italy Information

This building is the Castello di Cortine whose history was already being documented in 1037.  The structure is an admirable example of architecture.  In a dominating position in the very heart of the Chianti Classico, this zone is steeped in Etruscan and Roman history where deadly duels have been fought.  Now the Castle dominates tranquil woods, olive groves and vineyards – peace prevails. It has been transformed to make two beautiful, self-contained houses, completely independent of each other in every way.  An immense, formal Italian garden is private and exceptionally lovely, as is the 16metre swimming pool.  Original features have been retained – arches, vaulted ceilings - and new murals adorn some walls.  The interior is also very spacious with large rooms, high ceilings and the floor area is approximately 300sq. metres.  The furnishings and fittings are fabulous, colour co-ordinated and tasteful.  A most impressive kitchen will delight those with culinary skills.
