Situated
on the outskirts of a quaint village by the name of Impruneta, the Relais Villa
l'Olmo is perched on a hill dotted with grey olive trees, overlooking the
Chianti valley. Lying a mere 10 kilometres from the city of Florence and its
airport, a 10-minute drive from the main road to Siena and from the A1 motorway
linking Milan to Rome, this is the ideal location for relaxing in the Tuscan
countryside without forfeiting the chaotic bustle of Florence. While the city
can be reached by public transportation every 30 minutes, the village centre is
a 5-minute stroll from the Relais, where the Tuscan culinary delicacies can be
savoured in typical trattorias.
Nestled in a 70-hectar landscape of rolling hills, the 16th-century
Relais mirrors the careful renovation completed in 2000, work that was
painstakingly undertaken to preserve the original architectural structure. In
addition to the 8 apartments, 2 cottages and farmhouse available for guests,
the property encompasses vineyards, olive groves, a traditional Tuscan
restaurant, the owners’ private residence and an operating farm.

The
world-renowned Chianti region lies at the feet of Relais. Private tours can be
booked anytime, including gourmet tours (wine tasting, olive oil tasting,
cheese artisans) and art tours (Tuscan villages, Romanesque churches, Medici
treasures and villas, etc.).
Following
their day trips, guests most often relax relax, swim, and sun bathe in the
Relais gardens while sipping a glass of property wine, before adventuring out
for dinner in a typical restaurant or barbequing in the gardens.
Thanks to its mild climate and
renewed beauty after the winter months, springtime is a wonderful period to
visit the Relais. Driving through the Chianti countryside, discovering the arts
and crafts of the surrounding small towns, golfing, cycling and horseback
riding are highly enjoyable without having to contend with the crowds or the
summer heat.
The summer features lazy days by
the pool, followed by evenings dining “al fresco” on Tuscan culinary delights
prepared on the barbecues, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere and view of the
vast olive groves and vineyards. Also, many wonderful restaurants can be
sampled at a short walking distance or drive away.
Autumn and winter are the perfect
seasons for wine tasting, discovering the production techniques of olive oil,
experiencing the local festivals or just exploring the magnificent Tuscan
countryside and soaking up the ambiance of village life. |
