What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Pieve Aldine is, like its French cousins, an absolutely classic rural escape — in this case, a beautifully historic 10th-century residence and agricultural estate surrounded by picture-perfect Tuscan hillsides.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched along the Chiantigiana wine road near Radda, the estate sits within an hour of both Siena and Florence.
The rooms
Beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, and sixteenth-century frescoes frame views across the vineyards in quietly restored accommodations.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated swimming pool looks out across rolling olive groves and cypress trees toward the Chianti valley.
The spa
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Rondini
Tables sit under a draped timber pergola, serving seasonal Tuscan dishes and Chianina beef on the garden terrace.
At the table
Breakfast is set outside under the olive trees, with fresh juices and pastries spread along the stone terrace.
How it began
Count Piancaldoli gifted this estate to his wife Aldina in 1043 before it became a summer residence for Sienese bishops.
