The Tenuta Lupa is a hamlet 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 Lupa is one of the largest private, family-owned estates in Chianti. The Castello , 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.
There is a very large pool, a restaurant, and estate produce is available for sale to guests. Bucine is just to the south and west of Montevarchi, between Arezzo and Siena.
The official vineyards of Chianti begin here and extend to the east, giving visitors ample opportunity to explore the small roads and hill towns of Tuscany. The town of Bucine is small but complete, with a Wednesday morning market and an excellent simple restaurant.
The apartments in the borgo are all fully serviced, have large bedrooms with ensuite facilities, spacious living rooms, large gardens and terraces.
The apartments have been carefully restored with elegance and taste, and are furnished with antique pieces.
A high level of comfort is ensured by each apartment (sleeping from 2 to 6 people) being supplied with its own telephone, television, kitchen and individual heating system.
An unpaved road takes you past a double row of beautiful old cypresses and up past the old houses of the farm to the newly reconstructed borgo.
A splendid pool (20 x 8 metres) occupies a sunny field to the south of the borgo, furnished with tables with umbrellas and chairs for reclining.
The expansive view is picturesque with the mixture of trees, fields and small towns.
In the evenings, guests can complete a perfect day with a traditional Tuscan meal Tenuta Lupa's own private restaurant.
