Prestigious apartments in this award winning development in Tuscany. Castello San Donato, once owned by the Strozzi family, is a working wine estate set deep in the Tuscan countryside south of Florence. The castle at the centre of the estate, and other farmhouses on the estate, have been restored and converted into luxury apartments. The company responsible for the restoration continues to own and manage the wine production business. It also owns and runs a Relais et Chateau 4 star Hotel in Radda in Chianti.

The Castello is situated at about 500 metres above sea level in between the two most important towns in the Chianti Classico region Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti. The castle enjoys a hill top location with panoramic views over what are generally considered to be Tuscany's most beautiful views.

The restored estate consists of traditional stone farmhouses and 15 luxury apartments varying in size from 80 to 220 metres. The restoration has been completed to the highest standards, using only the highest quality materials such as hand manufactured terra cotta tiles, stone and chestnut. Where ever possible original features dating back to the sixteenth century have been restored to their original beauty.

The properties range in size from one to four bedrooms, but a common theme is one of typical rustic Tuscan charm, which is predominantly due to the listed nature of the buildings which are subject to approval by the Fine Arts commission. This has been combined with many modern features like jacuzzis, air conditioning, walk in wardrobes and all the mod cons required for 21st century living.

The historic part of the castle hosts a banqueting hall, a wine cellar, a library, and meeting and receptions rooms.

Residents of the estate will also benefit from a swimming pool, positioned amongst the olive groves, extensive gardens, patios and terraces, a restaurant, wine bar and a general store for daily shopping.
