See Chianti and sigh. Il Solatio offers one of the most exquisite views of this classical landscape, with olive groves stretching out into the distance where they blur with the many vineyards to be found here. Take your time to enjoy this view from the sundeck by the pool and the lovingly tended terraced garden. A generously-sized property, Il Solatio is perfect for two families or a group of friends but its design, as two separate apartments, means that all parties can also enjoy independence when they wish.
Built into a hillside planted with heather and potted with shrubs, Il Solatio’s self-contained apartments, with independent entrances, are both full of character. There are terracotta floors and tiled and beamed ceilings, while stylish flourishes include antique-style double beds and, in the ground-floor apartment, there’s the cosy addition of a brick-built open fireplace. The grounds and grassed terrace are overlooked – guarded even – by slender, sentry-like yew trees. Benches, table and chairs make this outdoor area a convivial place for coming together to enjoy dinner or just a as a place to linger. But when you fancy a change of scene, the Chianti town of Radda is close by, while Siena and Florence are also within easy driving distance.
