Without even realizing it, in half an hour you have traveled back five centuries to the Tuscany that illuminates the dreams of our 20th-century world. O ne of the reasons you are unlikely to hear much noise at Villa Belvedere is that it's surrounded by its own 140 acres of Chianti Classico vineyards. This is the same view you'd have enjoyed hundreds of years ago, because no modern constructions have been allowed to mar its beauty. When you are planning your stay here, be sure to allow plenty of time for gazing on the formal terrace, and for pleasant strolls through the vineyards, olive groves and woods that make up the estate. G uests of the villa stay in six double rooms or one single room, each individually furnished with priceless antiques and heirlooms from the family.
All rooms have private bathroom, telephone and television.
You can meet fellow guests over a leisurely breakfast each morning in the sunny dining room, or in the spacious sitting rooms where everyone gathers in the late afternoon. T he friendly family atmosphere that prevails in this regal old mansion will inspire you to exchange accounts of your many day trips, to nearby Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra, or to the historic wineries that are so numerous in this area. Those who wish to relax can try a round of golf at the well-known Ugolino course, only 7 km away, or rent horses from the nearby stables. More information about things to do in the area.
