Fattoria degli Usignoli, built by the monks of Vallombrosa in the 15th century, is located in the town of Reggello on the slopes of the Pratomagno massif, like a balcony looking out over the marvellous Valdarno and Chianti landscapes. This privileged position is the perfect staging point for visits to Tuscany’s major art cities – Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Certaldo, Cortona – and the entire Chianti region. At Fattoria degli Usignoli, you may choose to stay in the historic apartments of the landowner’s villa or the ancient paggeria (pages’ quarters), or in the modern rooms at poolside. Whatever your choice, you will be surrounded by 11 hectares of parkland, the setting for 3 swimming pools, the tennis court, the school of equitation with its large a arena, the restaurant, the bar and enoteca, and two meeting rooms, to say nothing of the five-a-side football pitch, the skating rink, the table tennis court and the barbecue area.
