A&K Private Estates: The Chianti Collection
Restored farmhouses, ancient towers, wine estates and charming manors set in rambling, sun-dappled grounds — Private Estates are the most characterful and desirable country houses in Chianti, chosen by our experts as ideal homebases for the ultimate Italian getaway, available in the summer of 2025 exclusively through A&K. Each estate is beautifully designed, with heated pools, outdoor kitchens and the latest in state-of-the-art amenities, including yoga studios, gyms, game rooms, tennis courts and wine cellars.
When you take over one of the Private Estates, you’re not just getting the keys to your own secret corner of Tuscany — you’re getting the full A&K Chianti experience. Wine tastings and cooking classes come to you; chefs prepare the most delicious Tuscan dinners; each day begins with freshly made breakfast; and the fridge is stocked with wine and local specialities. Our end-to-end, round-the-clock service is tailored for your tastes, whether you want a full staff with a chef and driver or prefer to roam and relax on your own, giving you all the advantages of a hotel with the freedom, privacy and space of a private house.
When it comes to making your holiday your own, your A&K concierge can arrange whatever you can dream up, whether that’s planning a party that pulls out all the stops, bagging you a table at the hottest restaurant in Chianti or arranging show-stopping experiences you’ll never forget.

The Location
The wine region of Chianti is the most quintessentially Tuscan part of Tuscany. Stretching languidly between Florence and Siena, its gentle green hills are threaded with rows of vines and studded with cypress and olive and umbrella pine. Medieval castles and villages crown the hilltops where winding stone streets are home to tasting rooms, superb restaurants and chic boutiques. Mornings and evenings cast the landscape in mellow gold light; after the grape harvest, autumn paints it fiery yellow and russet red. Come for the wine, the food, the culture or for country walks and bike rides that immerse you in the sheer beauty of this exquisite enclave of Italy.
