Borgo Living
1 Bedroom apartment inside historic Borgo: Prices start from € 800 per week
Nestled atop a mountain ridge in the heart of Chianti, Galenda is a small, enchanting hamlet of just 12 meticulously restored houses. The hamlet’s idyllic location offers breathtaking views of rolling Tuscan hills adorned with olive groves and vineyards. At the heart of the community lies a charming chapel, evoking the timeless spirit of the region.
The Borgo is a haven of tranquility and charm. Its cottages, each privately owned, are adorned with traditional terracotta floors and ceilings. Shaded corners of lush woodland provide privacy and respite from the Tuscan sun. Central to this picturesque estate is a shared swimming pool, perfectly placed to capture the panoramic beauty of the Chianti hills by day and the starlit sky by night.
From the Borgo, guests can easily explore the Chianti region, with highlights including the charming villages of Radda and Lecchi in Chianti, or Panzano, home to the famous butcher Cecchini. Iconic destinations like San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Siena, and Florence are also within reach. For those seeking active pursuits, bike rentals and walking paths abound, while others may prefer to savor a glass of Chianti wine amidst the serene beauty of the estate.
