Terra Toscana - opens July 10, 2008

Located on 23 acres of Italian hillside with terraced gardens and views of the town of Radda, your traditional Tuscan villa is accented with Italian loggias, baked-clay masonry, and terracotta-marble and wood floors, along with ample modern appointments. Originally a sixteenth century farm house converted into a charming estate, Terra Toscana is of a rural, Italian-vernacular architecture. The interior was renovated to create a relaxing atmosphere with the necessary modern conveniences.

The 6,300-square-foot villa has six bedrooms laid-out amongst the main building and a guest apartment with separate entrance; both with private kitchens and living rooms. As is customary of Italian culture, social life revolves around food and wine, with the state-of-the-art kitchen with exposed-beam ceiling and the wine cellar with seating area as the focus. The property is ahead of its time in the Tuscan Valley with solar powered engineering.

Terra Toscana is located near the town of Radda in Chianti. Radda has retained more of its ancient character than most towns and villages of the area. Located in the Monti del Chianti hills, once the seat of the mediaeval Lega di Chianti, this area is known for a powerful league that took the black cockerel, the gallo Nero of all bottles of Chianti, as its symbol.
