In the hills of Chianti, Pieve Aldina brings Fontenille's quiet sense of place to a former episcopal residence beside the Romanesque church of Santa Maria Novella. The estate feels deeply Tuscan without becoming theatrical: stone facades, frescoed interiors, cypress-lined gardens and views across vineyards and olive groves. Suites are calm and pared back, with historical details left to breathe, while days move between the pool, Le Rondini's regional cooking, wine roads and villages between Siena and Florence. It is a refined country stay shaped by heritage, restraint and the soft light of the Chianti hills.
