Contemporary Tuscan country house

A boutique villa in Tuscany, this hotel is the perfect marriage of contemporary chic and historic charm. With heart-stopping views over the Tuscan hills, and bright and spacious rooms decorated with precision and attention to detail, Villa Sassolini is a tranquil hideaway in the heart of Chiantishire.

Slate-coloured wood floors, spacious and airy rooms, cosy fireplaces and a tranquil garden with panoramic views makes this Tuscan villa peaceful perfection. The Marrakech room has fantastic views over the pool. The A Caccia suite has its own balcony and is decorated with hunting prints and has views of the wild hills of Chianti. This is a small hotel with a relaxed ethos and wonderful service, whose atmosphere serves as a valuable reminder that a holiday in Tuscany is best enjoyed unhurriedly.

Hotel restaurant
The hotel’s seasonal menu presents a modern take on fresh, traditional Tuscan ingredients, such as Chianina beef and wind-cured ham. The Marrakech room has fantastic views over the pool. Dine in the softly lit hall near the tower, with a vaulted ceiling and a wine cellar; or outside, where there’s a honeysuckle-framed garden full of overgrown rosemary and lavender bushes.
