Terre di Baccio

Terre di Baccio Country House is a magnificent stone house located in Greve in Chianti in the province of Florence. This is the perfect place to spend a holiday among the Chianti vineyards, surrounded by greenery and quiet in the heart of Tuscany. From there you can quickly reach the most beautiful cities in the area and their extraordinary historical and artistic heritage. In Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery; in Siena: Piazza del Campo and the Torre del Mangia; in Pisa:  the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Leaning Tower. Also  Volterra, San Gimignano, Arezzo and Lucca, are a few examples of the fascinating places that you can visit in Tuscany, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Terre di Baccio Country House has 5 double rooms with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, safe, mini-bar and kettle. The three rooms on the ground floor have easy access, one in particular is specifically designed without architectural barriers for people with disabilities. On the first floor there are two bedrooms overlooking the estate, a sitting room and a loft bed. In some rooms you can add a sofa bed on request, in others you can separate the double bed into two single beds. For those traveling with family or with a group of friends there are 4 apartments in the Casale (the country house) and 2 in the Fienile (the old barn) which can accommodate 4 to 6 guests each and are equipped with a kitchenette. Also, the apartments in the Fienile have a large private green space. Furnishings and architecture have a rustic Tuscan style with stone walls and wooden beams combined with the bright colors of the fabrics and hand-crafted works coming from Guatemala, a detail that recalls the origins of the family members who manage the Country House.
