Amongst the gorgeous and verdant Tuscan hills, looking into a valley of olive groves and vineyards you catch sight of the little hamlet of Tenuta Sant'Ilario. This stunning estate of around 60 hectares is set in the Fiorentine Chianti hills a few kilometres from the major art cities of Tuscany; Florence, San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra.

The estate is surrounded by a landscape of olive groves and vineyards where you can enjoy the magnificent Tuscan countryside while walking or relaxing in the gardens. Ambling further into the valley you reach the creeks and small waterfalls formed by the streams that feed into the estate. The Tenuta Sant'Ilario is located on the edge of Gambassi Terme close to San Gimignano, in a beautiful hilly area with breathtaking views over the Tuscan hills and Mediterranean nature.
