L'eremo is situated on an elegant Tuscan estate that produces excellent wine and olive oil.
Newly renovated in 2024, enjoy your own private sauna, private pool, plus tennis, wine tasting, the estate’s own restaurant and stunning walks among the Chianti hills.
The Eremo offers you a delightful, private villa with its own orchard and two spacious terraces set amongst vineyards and olive trees in the hills of exclusive Chianti - and you also get all the convenience of the facilities used by the guests staying in the apartments on the same estate three minutes walk away. You’ve got your own, entirely private space, but you can use the tennis courts, order breakfast or dinner delivered to your door or take advantage of the estate restaurant.
L’Eremo is on three levels. The ground floor is very spacious with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside from the huge picture windows. The sauna and the pool are typical of the care that has gone into restoring this charming villa to ensure you’ll experience the authentic Italian lifestyle. The kitchen is nicely equipped with a choice of two covered dining terraces. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, the grand pink room with shower and a small bedroom with two single beds and en suite shower room. Upstairs you’ll find another double bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe. Doors open off the bedroom onto the large first floor terrace and steps to your private orchard. Carrying on up to the top floor, there’s a lobby with a writing desk, then the other double bedroom with en suite bathroom with a spa bath.
The Eremo (which translates as the hermitage), dates back to the 600s and belonged to the Ricasoli family, the famous “Iron Baron” Ricasoli was so offended when a handsome young man dared to dance with his beautiful young wife, he swept her off to the hills and (happily for us!) invented Chianti to while away their peaceful days. Or so we’re told!
This large estate, with its woods, vineyards and olive groves, fell into disuse and has, over recent years, been carefully restored by Signor Giuseppe. The wine cellars are a fundamental part of life on the estate and you can tap into guided tours of the vineyards with a sommelier to follow through with an expert's tasting of the estate wines. If you want even more spoiling extras, then swing by the estate's little beauty centre and indulge in aroma therapy, a shiatsu massage, a facial or a Turkish bath. There's also "chocolate therapy" and "wine therapy" and a host of other indulgences on their list.
The helpful staff at reception, in the main complex, are always ready to help. They'll book you in for a cookery class, give you the train times, they'll set up horse riding and even organise bike rental if you want to explore the lovely lanes of Tuscany.
In a nutshell, L’Eremo offers you a clever combination of the privacy of your own, very enviable villa in its private grounds plus the possibility of joining the “neighbours” should you or the kids feel like company. This house is the perfect solution to everyone’s holiday needs – and deliveries from the restaurant are the Tuscan cherry on the top!
