Agriturismo Fattoria Sant Appiano

This small farming estate is hidden in the Tuscan countryside, among the small roads that lead to unknown corners of the beautiful Chianti area, which have maintained their original features.

During your stay you can explore the area to find the ruins of rural houses, ancient Churches, like Sant Appiano, and Medieval hamlets, like Linari. The farm itself is next to the church of Sant’Appiano, built in the 9th century it is the oldest medieval Romanesque parish church in Tuscany with fine frescoes and paintings by the Florentine school of Ghirlandaio and Giotto, a baptismal font in pietra serena stone and delicately ornamented pillars and capitals.

The apartments include: two in the main farm; two in a house inside the hamlet; and four in a grange near the swimming pool. The simple style of the apartments, equipped with simple Tuscan furniture, will let you spend a holiday near to the rural life of the country.
The Sant’Appiano Farm consists of 15 hectares of vineyards, extending in a south-east position, at an altitude of 280 metres. The soil is mostly sandy-tuff and in some parts rich in fossils and grit. Mr Domenico Cappelli has passed on his love of farming and respect for the environment to his sons and grandsons which is why the farm is run as a family concern with the owners taking direct responsibility for production and sales. Family traditions are combined with the most innovative, dynamic and modern wine-producing
methods.

The farming estate produces Chianti wine, olive oil and grappa.
