Dream estate in Tuscany

Will and Sally's verdict

A beautiful Tuscan estate nuzzled into vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees; outdoor heated swimming pools and tennis courts; a restaurant serving local cuisine… this hideaway in the heart of Chianti should appeal to any discerning family looking for a relaxed holiday near the medieval marvels of Siena and San Gimignano.

Set in the heart of the Chianti Countryside overlooking Siena, Borgo Scopeto Relais is an ancient family estate which has been sensitively converted into a charming, peaceful hotel with 58 bedrooms scattered among eight separate buildings.

There are family rooms and suites which are easily large enough to accommodate two adults and two children in two separate rooms.

The extensive grounds, complete with ancient vineyards and olive trees, are ideal for children, with two outdoor heated swimming pools and tennis courts.

The restaurant on site serves a variety of cuisine using olive oil produced on the estate, which also produces its own wine.

This is a perfect place to relax, particularly for a half-term break. Aside from soaking up the peaceful atmosphere at the hotel itself, you are within easy striking distance of Siena and a number of fascinating Tuscan towns such as San Gimignano, Radda in Chianti and Montalcino.
