The Enchanted Chestnut Grove

Coltibuono was not just a monastery. It was a place where spirituality, work, and innovation merged into a single vision. In the woods, in the trees, and in the fruits of the earth, the Vallombrosan monks found a language with which to converse with God, leaving behind a landscape that still today tells the story of their work.

Introspective photography in Coltibuono

In the timeless silence of Badia a Coltibuono, an ancient Vallombrosan abbey nestled among the woods and vineyards of the Chianti Classico, Lelia Scarfiotti invites guests to a three-hour experience that blends contemplative photography and mindful presence.

Great wine tasting and beautiful location We didn’t stay here, but I’m sure it’s an amazing stay. My husband and I did a wine tasting. Leila was our guide and she was amazing. She did the tour with us and one other couple and she did it in both Italian and English. She was very knowledgeable and incredibly sweet. The wine was also amazing. I highly recommend visiting the property. It’s beautiful and the history is amazing. 5/5

Se volete venire una wine experience immersi nell’autenticità del Chianti non potete scegliere di meglio, essendo un appassionato facente parte della delegazione Ais Puglia ho forzato per un pernottamento in questo vecchio e fantastico monastero trasformato in un Wine Resort incredibile, complimenti a chi conduce con tanta Passione come la figlia di Lorenza De Medici ed a Riccardo in sala ristorante, col menu degustazione dei loro fantastici vini ed un occhio di pernice(vinsanto) meritevole di menzione speciale che hanno accompagnato il nostro pasto, ci torneremo. 5/5
