San Donato in Perano is set within the historic landscape of the Chianti Classico and has origins dating back to the medieval period. Once part of the estates of the Florentine Strozzi family, it embodies a long-established connection between tradition, natural beauty and the culture of wine and the land. Its iconic setting, often captured by photographers, is now one of the defining images of the Chianti. Today, the estate comprises ten residences, set within a peaceful and well-maintained environment that offers the ideal setting for a relaxing stay. Just a short stroll away, the 15-metre shared pool invites guests to unwind, cool off and take in the sweeping views over the rolling Chianti hills.
Located in the heart of the Chianti Classico, San Donato in Perano is an excellent base for exploring the region. The prestigious Tenuta Perano, owned by the Frescobaldi family and home to its own osteria, is just a ten-minute walk away, perfect for dinner without the need for a car. The renowned Castello di Brolio is around twenty minutes by car. Nearby Gaiole in Chianti offers restaurants, small shops, a COOP supermarket and bike rental. Siena, Arezzo, San Gimignano and Florence are all within easy reach and offer a wealth of options for rewarding day trips.
