Perched on the edge of Radda in Chianti, Villa Torretta rises from centuries-old stone, its tower standing watch over vine-striped hills that roll towards distant horizons. Built in the 17th century, when these lands were contested between Florence and Siena, the villa has exchanged its strategic purpose for a gentler calling—offering a refined retreat where history and contemporary comfort exist in elegant balance. Just three minutes on foot from the village centre, the property occupies that rare position between rural tranquillity and the pleasures of authentic Tuscan life.
Radda in Chianti provides everything required for an immersive stay in this storied wine region. The medieval village, with its compact historic centre and traditional trattorias, invites leisurely afternoon wandering, whilst the surrounding countryside beckons with renowned wine estates, many offering tastings and cellar tours. The villa's position allows effortless exploration of the Chianti Classico territory, with its patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads that have captivated travellers for generations.
Within Villa Torretta's 500 square metres, contemporary design honours the architecture's lineage without attempting to recreate the past. The ground floor unfolds through a sequence of interconnected spaces: a sitting room where natural light plays across original stone walls, a dining area designed for lingering meals, and a professional kitchen equipped for serious cooking. Smart home technology operates discreetly throughout, controlling lighting, climate, and entertainment systems with understated efficiency. A state-of-the-art underfloor cooling system ensures comfort during summer months, whilst the villa's thick walls provide natural insulation. A wine cellar carved into the oldest part of the structure offers proper storage for treasured bottles and a romantic setting for candle-lit dinners, special celebrations, or night-long dancing. Additional sitting areas on the first floor provide alternatives for reading, conversation, or simply watching the afternoon light shift across the valley.
The outdoor spaces demonstrate the same thoughtful approach. A swimming pool commands the main terrace, positioned to capture sweeping views over the Chianti landscape. Multiple terraces at varying levels accommodate different moods and times of day—breakfast in morning sun, aperitivi as shadows lengthen, dinner beneath the stars. Outdoor dining areas include both covered and open-air options, with a built-in barbecue for those inclined towards al fresco cooking. The manicured gardens surrounding the villa reflect the understated aesthetic of the Tuscan countryside, with native plantings and mature trees framing views rather than obscuring them. The original tower, accessible to guests on request, offers an elevated perspective over the estate and the hills beyond.
