What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
The social and sleeping spaces mix earthy tones and modern styling to create bold expressions with character and soul.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in rural Cavriglia above the Valdarno valley, quiet roads wind past olive groves and medieval hamlets toward Florence and Siena.
The rooms
Interiors pair exposed timber beams and warm wood flooring with polished Tuscan marble and minimalist line murals overhead.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A commissioned face mosaic lines the bottom of the swimming pool, ringed by sun loungers and scalloped parasols.
The baths
Five indoor pools form a Roman bathhouse circuit alongside brass hydrotherapy showers, a timber sauna, and a hammam.
Padel and gym
A glass-walled padel court sits among the wooded hills, steps from the indoor Panatta-equipped fitness centre.
Main Bar
Dark green wood panelling and red marble booths line the bar, where bartenders mix aperitivi beside arched courtyard windows.
At the table
Whitewashed brick arches shelter tables at Osso, which serves regional meats flame-grilled beside an outdoor dining terrace.
How it began
Developer Marco Cilia expanded Chapter Italia from urban Rome into the Chianti hills, reviving a long-dormant sixteenth-century agricultural hamlet.
