This is the sort of thing Italy does so well – a retreat amongst olive groves and vines with never ending views of countryside that seem to have been made in Heaven. A truly aristocratic place to stay - in this case literally - as the San Bonifacio was owned by a real life count and countess.
As they say, class is permanent and it shows all over this immaculate farmhouse. It is difficult to believe that this was once an abandoned and derelict shell of a building. Thankfully, the Count spent a lot of time, money and effort to transform it into what it is now: a combination of boutique style within a rustic setting mixed with sophistication. The atmosphere is so relaxing and rooms so few – five in all – that you almost feel you own the place during your stay here. At the very least, you are welcomed as a great friend, part of an exclusive inner circle of fortunate people.
Guests spend their time between crisp linen bedroom suites, poolside or roaring fires, depending on the season. Everything is possible here: perfect tranquillity or a vacation of activity including wine and cooking courses, yoga on the hilltop, horse riding and night treks or just simply discovering the medieval villages, which crown each of the surrounding hilltops, or the white beaches all along our coastline. History and nature marry here in conjugal bliss.

The 360 degree views are simply superb. The feeling is of peace and unity with nature, as eagles soar and swallows swoop overhead.
Glass of wine in hand, aperitif on the terrace, vineyard-view dinners. Earth, wine and essential Tuscan food combine to offer the exquisite experience at this unique hotel.

Whatever type of room, all take in crisp white bed linen, leather club chairs, stripped back Florentine armadios and enormous white cow skins across the acres of terracotta floors.
