Antica Tenuta di Ricavo Castellina in Chianti

There is a long tradition of hospitality at the Tenuta di Ricavo, warmly and ably owned and operated by the same family for more than 50 years. Tenuta di Ricavo is a very lovingly restored medieval hamlet, in Castellina in Chianti, in the natural setting of a protected Tuscany Nature Park.

Stone, plaster, terracotta tiles, powerful wood beams, all materials used since early construction a thousand years ago, form the wide choice of accommodations, from a simple bed room to an ample apartment. These accommodations which can house up to 50 people in total are furnished with period pieces and loving detail. Their names bare their history: Villa, Casa Petri, Casa Mara, Cas'al Sole. The tranquility, the freshness of the air, voices of song birds, colors of wild flowers, the rich hues of cypress, the sense of space unite to present you with a tranquil sense of peace and relaxation.

The proprietor himself directs this restaurant "La Pecora Nera" with the highest standards and quality resulting in exceptional culinary experience. Serving typical Tuscan Cuisine, in conjunction with lighter Nouvelle Cuisine interpretations of traditional dishes will give diners many options. Not to mention the large and thoughtfully selected wine cellar's many choices.
