Tenuta Sant'Ilario  

Perched on the Chianti hills in Gambassi Terme, this 60‑hectare Tuscan estate sits next to a golf course and makes Florence, San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra easy day trips. Local highlights nearby include the Benozzo Gozzoli Museum, Teatro del Popolo and the Monastery of San Vivaldo. Florence Airport (Peretola) and Pisa (Galileo Galilei) are the closest airports.

Historic vibes meet rustic‑chic: the main villa is a former 12th‑century convent surrounded by villas, apartments and rooms with olive‑grove and vineyard views. Rooms are air‑conditioned and simple but smart — LCD TVs, separate sitting areas in some units, blackout drapes, desks and private baths with rainfall showerheads and bidets. Cribs are complimentary; rollaway beds available for a surcharge.

Lounge by a seasonal outdoor pool or take a dip in the indoor pool, then sip at the poolside bar. Stroll estate trails through olive groves and woods, picnic or fire up the barbecue area, and spot local wildlife. Concierge and tour desk can arrange excursions and transfers. Pets are allowed, free self parking is onsite, and complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout.

Meeting and presentation facilities, a conference hall and conference support make small events easy. Multilingual staff, luggage storage and coffee/tea in a common area are on hand, plus reliable internet access for work demands.

An on‑site restaurant (Trattoria Toscana) serves Tuscan flavors and seasonal dishes, with buffet breakfasts available for a fee and breakfast service to apartments on request. A poolside bar keeps drinks flowing for lazy, sun‑soaked afternoons.
