Ancora del Chianti Country B&B - Retreat in Tuscany
About
Ancora del Chianti – Country Bed & Breakfast & Retreat is a hillside farmhouse tucked in the heart of the Chianti countryside, just 5 km from Green Valleys of Greve in Chianti and a short drive from the historic centres of Florence and Siena. The 200‑year‑old stone house has been lovingly restored, offering a blend of rustic charm and contemporary comfort. Guests can choose from a range of beds – from cozy double rooms with en‑suite bathrooms to a panoramic studio that doubles as an art and yoga studio. Beyond comfortable lodging, Ancora prides itself on sustainable tourism. The property is powered by solar panels, uses biomass heating, and incorporates a zero‑waste strategy that includes refillable soap dispensers and a herbal water purification system. Guests are encouraged to explore the surrounding vineyards, olive groves, and the nearby town of Greve in Chianti, where they can taste local Chianti Classico wines and fresh olive oil. The B&B also offers a host of experiential packages – cooking classes, painting workshops, guided wine and olive‑oil tours, and mindfulness yoga retreats. Whether you’re seeking a quiet, nature‑rich getaway or a creative retreat that fuels body, mind, and soul, Ancora del Chianti provides a tranquil base to soak in the beauty and heritage of Tuscany.
