The Torre a Cona wine estate is a historic property located in the scenic hills of Rignano sull'Arno, just outside Florence. Owned by the Rossi di Montelera counts, the 18th-century villa dominates the surrounding Chianti vineyards and olive groves, which encircle traditional Tuscan farmhouses lovingly restored and furnished by the countess. Over the centuries, the estate has evolved, transitioning from a strategic defensive point to a charming agricultural and wine-producing property. Today, Torre a Cona is renowned for its vineyards and olive groves, producing high-quality Tuscan wines and olive oil.
The estate is beautifully surrounded by rolling hills, lush greenery, and picturesque views of the Arno Valley, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Tuscan rural life, while being only a short drive from Florence's historic centre. The property also includes a historic villa and various well-preserved structures that reflect its long history. It is an ideal location for wine enthusiasts, those seeking tranquillity, and visitors wanting to experience the authentic Tuscan countryside.
The 25 rooms are spread in the main villa and in a nearby annexe. The rooms feature classic decor with terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, fine fabrics, antiques, and family pictures. Bathrooms are spacious and include walk-in showers and freestanding tubs. Each room has a unique style, and is equipped with minibar, safe, wi-fi, and air conditioning, but no TV set. Please note that there is no elevator, so upper-level rooms are accessible only by stairs.
