The Filostrato apartment is located on the upper floor of the historic Casa Vecchia and, at about 60 m², is a pleasantly compact retreat for up to four guests. It features a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom, and a living room. An interior staircase leads up to the typical Tuscan dovecote, where children love to sleep and from which you can enjoy a beautiful view over the rooftops of the Tenuta. The outdoor seating area is located right across the way (on the ground floor). A spot surrounded by greenery where the day can naturally begin with a cup of coffee or wind down with a glass of wine.
Filostrato is an apartment for anyone who likes to keep things simple and, above all, longs for a place where time passes a little more slowly. In the morning, step out into your own little garden; later, perhaps take a stroll through the vineyards or a trip to one of the small Tuscan villages. And in the evening, return home, open the windows, and let the day wind down without any grand plans.
The apartment is part of an extensive, historic country estate that today houses a total of ten holiday apartments. In addition to the private areas of the individual apartments, there are various communal lounge areas open to all guests, giving the property its special, lively character. At the same time, the size of the approximately 16-hectare grounds offers enough space to retreat and enjoy the peace for oneself. This creates a pleasant mix of privacy and the wonderful feeling of not being entirely alone in a special place.
Vineyards, 770 olive trees, meadows, and a small poplar forest stretch out around the tenuta. The history of the property as a winery and farm is still palpable today. A walking path leads through the vineyards to a bocce court, and the estate’s own Chianti D.O.C.G. and olive oil are produced directly on-site. It is a landscape that does not need to be loud to leave an impression.
The apartment is also wonderfully located for exploring. Montaione lies in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence, Siena, and Pisa. These famous cities are easily accessible on a day trip, but it’s just as enjoyable to discover the smaller towns, restaurants, and wineries in the surrounding area or simply follow the paths through the countryside. The Castelfalfi Golf Club is about 25 kilometers away.
The warm, German-speaking hosts are happy to help with personal recommendations and, upon request, can assist in organizing horse riding excursions, tennis courts, or bicycle rentals. Breakfast can also be offered by prior arrangement. It is free for children up to six years old, costs €7 for children aged seven to twelve, and €14 per person for those aged 13 and over. Registration takes place directly with the host after booking.
The apartment’s amenities include dishes, a coffee machine, a hairdryer, towels, bath towels, and bed linen. Air conditioning and heating ensure pleasant temperatures in every season.
The apartment is a warm and welcoming place where you wake up each morning to the Tuscan countryside spread out before you and quickly realize that you don’t really need much at all. An old house, a wonderful garden, vineyards, and olive trees right outside your door—and at the same time, the chance to share the special communal areas and the atmosphere of a historic country estate with other guests.
