Podere Brizio Foresteria, only 10 minutes from Montalcino, gazes out over a southwest-facing valley. Nestled among vineyards and olive groves, this restful accommodation is the incarnation of a detailed conservative restoration that enhances the farmhouse’s original architectural and structural features.
Utmost comfort and relaxation is our foremost concern, with a bijou spa in what was once a hayloft, well-maintained tennis court and secluded pool on the grounds of the estate.
The farmhouse stands next to the winery, where the finest Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello and Brunello Riserva are lovingly produced. Guests are invited to join a guided tour of the estate and to taste these labels, which can be purchased in the wine shop.
Authentic traditional meals are served at La Bottaia Restaurant in the main building. Homemade cakes and local seasonal produce are the perfect way to begin the day, while unforgettable Tuscan flavours can be savoured at dinner every night, apart from Sundays (dinners must be reserved in advance).
Guest Rooms
Podere Brizio comprises 12 rooms divided into Classic, Deluxe and Prestige categories, all fully equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, phone, satellite TV, minibar and personal wine corner.
Caringly furnished with local handicrafts, the rooms vary in colour and size. Hand-picked ceramics and carefully sourced accessories complete the spacious bathrooms.
Dining
La Bottaia Restaurant, reserved for hotel guests, is situated in the former wine cellar. Bygone charm is guaranteed at breakfast and dinner, which is prepared in the kitchen next door.
In the summer, meals are served on the scenic terraces with views over the valley, shaded by a contemporary pergola.
Savour seasonal cooking featuring produce directly from local growers, while the wines and extra-virgin olive oil of Podere Brizio are always on hand. Expect a warm professional service that turns the three-course dinner into a memorable experience.
Sport and relaxation
The vineyards and woodland surrounding La Foresteria di Podere Brizio provide the perfect base to explore the Montalcino area. The hilltop town is 8 km away and is worth visiting, especially the striking fortress and the streets of the medieval centre. The picturesque scenery of nearby Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers an array of destinations worthy of being seen.
