Life here centers on wine, bringing guests together for sommelier masterclasses, communal wood-fired dinners, and cocktails on the central piazza.
“Guest rooms are simultaneously cozy and sumptuous, with exposed brick walls and rough carved wooden armoires juxtaposed with neutral-hued bedding and terra-cotta tile floors.”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
This boutique bolthole sits amid Tuscany's vineyards with panoramic views that hypnotize.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Vino Nobile vineyards stretch in every direction, and the medieval hilltop town of Montepulciano is a fifteen-minute drive away.

The rooms
Carved wooden armoires furnish the bedrooms, and larger suites open onto private terraces with views across the grounds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers and tall cypresses line the swimming pool, looking out across the surrounding estate vineyards.
At the table
Il Ciuchino serves seasonal Tuscan fare inside a glass conservatory, and The Flying Monk pours regional wines beneath brick arches.
How it began
Built in 1780, the estate was a working farmstead before American hoteliers restored its five stone buildings in 2022.
