What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
a sleek modern retreat that nevertheless feels as if it’s always been part of the landscape.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked at the end of a private dirt track near Radda, the estate sits steps from the neighboring Brancaia winery.
The rooms
Suites pair antique oak floorboards with rough travertine walls, minimalist custom millwork, and walk-in showers finished in dark cotto stone.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool sits on a stone terrace, looking out past tall cypress trees toward the Chianti valley.
How it began
A 15th-century Tuscan farmhouse was painstakingly restored and connected to a minimalist pavilion to create a modern countryside retreat.
