New Private Estates

Il Cellese 2025


8 days from $90,000 per week

10 Bedrooms | Sleeps 19

Owner Sergio Sardelli’s grandfather planted the first vines at Il Cellese in the 1960s, and his aunt was one of the first women in the region to produce Chianti Classico. A 20-year restoration has transformed the ruins of this family-run private wine estate in Castellina into a drop-dead gorgeous villa that sleeps 19, a vision of Tuscan tradition given a cool, contemporary twist, with a dreamy quality you’ll wish you could bottle and take home.
