The Tenuta di Lupinari is in effect a hamlet all of its own, lying amidst 750 acres of woods, vineyards and centuries old olive trees. The area has remained miraculously unspoilt and unchanged across the centuries, and today offers a striking oasis of peace and tranquility.
Tenuta di Lupinari is one of the largest private, family-owned estates in Chianti. The Castello Lupinari, home of the owners, was designed by the famous Italian architect, Coppede, at the turn of the century in the style of a mediaeval castle. The hamlet ('borgo') lies behind the castle, and has been completely reconstructed into 10 large and nicely appointed apartments designed for holiday rentals.

Each apartment has one or two bedrooms, a discreet kitchen and an out door terrace for dining al fresco. Many are split level, some have large walk in wardrobes and /or open fire places. The bigger apartments sleeping six or more people have dishwashers.
All come with telephone, satellite television (two English stations) and luxurious European style feather counterpanes in winter.
Air conditioning in all the bedrooms
Garden The pool (20 x 8 meters)is in it's own garden. It is well furnished with tables, chairs, umbrellas and sun lounges and several charming wrought iron pagodas that are in keeping with the architectural style of the main villa.

The gardens abound with rose beds, lavender hedges, geraniums in pots and acres of immaculately mown rolling lawns. The property is approached by a regal avenue of ancient Cyprus trees.
