The location of Casa Gherardi is perfect for wine tasting, as it is located within a world-famous wine (and olive oil!) producing region, celebrated by Verdi, Michelangelo and many others. This opulent estate offers a truly idyllic rural retreat. Stroll around the estate or explore by bike, with winding forests, olive groves and vineyards.

The closest town is Greve, a 10-minute drive away. In fact, the villa is perfectly located both to visit the art cities (with Florence about a 45-minute drive away, or Siena a little further afield, ideal for a day trip) and enjoying the tranquil calm of the Tuscan countryside.

Location:

Casa Gherardi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, halfway between Florence and Siena. A maze of paths wind through the garden, surrounded by strawberry trees, rosemary and jasmine, with views across the countryside. This charming property is a wine-lovers paradise situated on an organic farm, with a historical wine cellar in operation since 1404. 

A stay at Casa Gherardi would never be complete without a visit to Florence, Siena or both. You can drive to the cities or take the train or bus. Florence is the larger of the two, with its renowned collection of Renaissance art and architecture, a fantastic range of boutiques and a wide selection of restaurants. Siena is a little further away, an hour’s drive from the villa. You could visit multiple times during your trip with an array of marvellous churches, galleries, restaurants, Renaissance and Gothic architecture, and a stunning central piazza. 

Florence is forty-five minutes from the villa by car, making it a must-visit during your stay. For foodies, Florence boasts a vast array of eateries to suit all tastes. Whether you fancy fine dining, street food or a traditional meal in a rustic trattoria, you can find it all among the city's remarkable architecture. Local wines and cocktails are served at various atmospheric bars, or perhaps you have more of a sweet tooth and would love to wander the pretty streets while enjoying gelato.

Florence's Renaissance art and architecture have drawn in visitors for years, so it will be no surprise that the city is overflowing with the most remarkable palaces, churches, museums and art galleries. Some key attractions are The Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo’s statue of David, located in the incredible Galleria dell’Accademia and the former Medici palaces, The Palazzo Vecchio and The Palazzo Pitti. These vast galleries and Grand Duchal Palaces will each take half a day or more to visit, as there is so much to see and do!
