Castello Nipozzano stands in the medieval heart of the renowned Chianti Rufina area.
The structure, built in the year 1000 as a fortress to protect Florence, takes its name from the absence of wells that characterised the area at the time.
A history-rich location that today produces the estate’s great wine, Mormoreto.
A petite boutique hotel in the hills and vineyards, twenty minutes away from Florence.
The four exclusive rooms in the hamlet of Castello Nipozzano have an enchanting view and are equipped with a Jacuzzi tub overlooking Chianti Rufina.
