This medieval hamlet, surrounded by nearly 1000 acres of nature reserve in the heart of the Chianti hills, has been lovingly restored and converted to a 4-star hotel. Authentic Tuscan charm and idyllic surroundings meet with modern comfort in perfect harmony at the hotel, which is composed of a manor house and 4 surrounding farmer’s cottages. The hotel is tucked away from the noisy main roads and busy urban centres. However, despite its quiet location, the hotel is extremely central, exactly on the border between the provinces of Siena and Florence. When you are not relaxing in one of the hotel’s 2 swimming pools or reading in the library, you can stroll on the marked walking paths around the hotel or enjoy a work out at the gym. The hotel is open from April to October. Ricavo is an ancient hamlet composed of several different buildings, which means that also the guest rooms are distributed in different buildings throughout the compound. The rooms are charming, and most are decorated in a typical Tuscan style, whilst 3 are decorated with modern décor. Please specify when booking whether you would prefer one queen-size bed or twin beds. The standard rooms are located on the first floor and are accessible via the stairs. There are no elevators at the hotel. Several of the rooms are interconnected. These are available on request and subject to availability. Several rooms allow additional occupancy for a child and have the capacity for an extra bed. As not all rooms allow occupancy of more than 2 people, these rooms are strictly on request and subject to availability.
