Hotel Relais Riserva Di Fizzano (Castellina in Chianti, Italy)

The Relais Riserva di Fizzano is a medieval "borgo" (hamlet), owned by the Rocca delle Macie winery, which rises up on a hilltop in the heart of the Chianti Classico production zone, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The hamlet, which dates from the 11th century, has recently undergone a painstaking renovation, overseen by architects Fabio Zingarelli and Lucia Peretti, which has made the most of the existing architectural structure, equipping it with every imaginable comfort to provide guests with highest-quality services and unrivalled privacy in an exceptionally relaxing atmosphere. Located nearby the ancient "Via Francigena", halfway between Siena and Florence and close to San Gimignano and Volterra, the Relais comprises six buildings, which play host to a total of 19 apartments, along with gardens and extensive landscaped areas, a chapel, two swimming pools, a bar, a restaurant and a small retail outlet selling the wines, olive oil and honey made by Rocca delle Macie.
