Profile


 
Every corner of the Tuscan landscape is full of traces of ancient culture. As a unique example of this, at only thirty miles from Florence, built on a hillside near Castelfiorentino, strategically positioned on the Francigen Way, connecting France to Rome, the Castello di Cabbiavoli stands.
 
Its history dates back to 1210, when the Conti Alberti family from Certaldo, the powerful and influent Lords of the Longobard Elsa Valley, built their castle. This wonderful building was later converted into an elegant Villa. The Conti Alberti family owned this property until the XVII th century. You may still see what remains of the 12th century castle observing the square brick tower and the walls next to the Villa.
 
The Chianti Valley surrounds the castle with its soft hills and undulated landscape, the land of historic and worldwide famous Wineries. Within this scenery, the converted barns of the Cabbiavoli Castle offer an ideal accomodation for whoever is looking for a comfortable and relaxing holiday.
 

Elegantly furnished and accurate in any detail,
the estate was restored leaving the charm of its antique Tuscan style untouched, with a careful and pleasant furnishing which will make your stay warm and homely.
 
Cabbiavoli Castle offers its guests a magnificent swimming pool, a bowls field, a table tennis, a trekking route, a barbecue and open-air children's games. Those who like horse-riding can turn to the nearby riding-school Fattoria "il Mignano", where group riding excursions are organized. For those who love sport, tennis courts are available just a few minutes drive from Cabbiavoli, as well as golf courses at Castelfalfi, at fifteen minutes drive.
 
Who loves the recipes of the Tuscan tradition is welcome in the typical homely restaurant, which is at walking distance and is partner with the estate. The factory produces Chianti Putto "Fattoria di Cabbiavoli", an extremely pleasurable and round red wine, and an extra virgin olive oil made by cold-pressing our olives.
