| In the 14th century, the Sant’Appiano Farm belonged to the Gherardini family, then in the 15th and 16th centuries to the Catellini’s of Castiglione. Successively it passed to the Pitti, Ughi and Ghibellini families, this latter being mentioned in Dante’s Paradise (XVI Canto) as one of the great noble families who helped make Florence “a city that counted”. They were succeeded by the Muzzi and Pier Francesco di Guccio of the Gucci of Florence until the farm passed to the present day owners, the Cappelli family. The farm lies in the village of the same name, located in the hills between Florence and Siena in the Elsa valley, an area inhabited since ancient times due to its favourable geographical position within Tuscany. Mr Domenico Cappelli has passed on his love of farming and respect for the environment to his sons and grandsons which is why the farm is run as a family concern with the owners taking direct responsibility for production and sales. Family traditions are combined with the most innovative, dynamic and modern wine-producing methods. This small but ancient farming estate produces Chianti wine, olive oil and has 8 apartments at the disposal of its guests. The apartments were restored during the last few years: two in the main farm, two in a house inside the hamlet, and four in a grange near to the swimming pool. The simple style of the apartments, equipped with simple Tuscan furniture, will allow you to spend a holiday near to the rural life of the country |
