CONTACTS

Villa La Capitata is a traditional Tuscan country mansion, built in 1870 and recently renovated and converted into holiday flats. The location is beautiful, a sunny spot with commanding panoramic views of the vineyards and olive groves of Chianti and the Arno valley.

Here you can soak away the stresses of modern life in the large crystal-clear pool, pick up a suntan on the terraces or enjoy relaxing walks along country trails.
The villa was originally the building from which the lord of the adjacent farm collected his 'dues' in the form of olives, grapes, hay, eggs and other agricultural produce.

The word capitata means ended-up, and that is exactly what happened to the hardworking farm peasants´ output - a good percentage ended up at Villa La Capitata for "his lordship". This is the heartland of Chianti - Italy's most famous wine - and is ideal for winelovers and gourmets.

The area is scattered with wineries and excellent restaurants dedicated to local produce and is a hive of activity during the grape and olive harvests (October and November) which are marked by festivals and feasts.

Villa La Capitata is situated in the heart of Tuscany, just 20 minutes from the A1 motorway, with easy access to Florence (40 minutes) and Rome (1½ hours).
The completely restored farmhouse is at approximately 400 metres above sea level, just outside the village of Pian di Scò.
