Podere Sagna - Chianti
 print
this page
Podere Sagna lies in the heart
of Chianti Classico, a short distance south of Castellina.
The property is surrounded by trees, vineyards, and lots of
tranquility. The Swiss owners, who live on the property, have
furnished it to a high standard. Each of the accommodations
at Podere Sagna is fresh and tasteful. Kitchens are modern
and fully equipped. All baths have two sinks, in the Swiss
style. Terracotta floors are covered by Oriental rugs throughout,
and there are some excellent wooden bureaus, dressers, and
armoires from the owners' families. A very nice swimming pool
lies at the center of the estate.
All units feature a small clothes
washer, and housekeeping/laundry services can be arranged.
A phone for both incoming and outgoing calls has been installed
in each of the accommodations. You can place a call whenever
you want, but the owners must be present on the estate for
you to receive a call, as it's a switchboard system. If you
need to be reached 24 hours a day, you should definitely rent
a cell phone, and for faxes and internet access, you should
plan to make the excellent internet café in Castellina,
just down the road, your first stop each morning.
Considering the dramatically
inflated prices in effect now in Tuscany, we feel that those
for Podere Sagna are particularly attractive, especially given
the high standard of the accommodations.
