Luxurious accommodations
Located atop one of the highest hills in Tuscany, Villa Ardore boasts eight suites, each with a private bathroom, and can accommodate up to 18 guests. The villa features a full Roman spa, including a heated infinity pool, all set against a backdrop of breathtaking views of vineyards, rolling hills, and medieval castles.

THE JEWEL OF TUSCANY
Villa Ardore, located in the heart of Chianti, was originally a 16th-century Tuscan stone farmhouse.

The villa underwent extensive renovations, blending traditional Tuscan design with modern amenities, all sourced locally. The couple’s commitment to the local community enriches the guest experience, creating lasting connections with the people of the region.
