Relax and nature: why choose a B&B in the heart of Chianti

Just minutes away from some of Tuscany’s most iconic towns – yet far enough to truly find yourself again.

It’s almost six in the afternoon when you return.
You’ve spent the day wandering through hilltop villages and vineyards, losing yourself in the cobblestone streets of Montepulciano and sipping a glass of red wine in a tiny winery hidden behind an old wooden gate.

The sun is still warm, but it’s beginning to slip behind the hills.

As soon as you park, the silence catches you once again.
No car horns, no rush, no noise.
Just the distant call of a bird and the soft buzz of cicadas.

You look around and realize that in those few minutes of road that separate this place from the rest of the world, everything has changed.

You step out of the car — a few steps, and you’re at the door of your apartment. Inside, it’s cool.
The small spiral staircase leads you to the bedroom. You open the windows; a gentle breeze moves the curtains.
You take off your shoes and fall onto the bed, while the golden light of late afternoon begins to tint the hills a soft shade of pink.

After a while, you walk down to the garden. The view is the same as this morning, yet somehow it looks new every time.
You sit by the outdoor hot tub with a book you don’t read, because your eyes drift toward the horizon.

Then comes the simplest — and perhaps the most beautiful — moment of all: a slow dinner, prepared with just a few good things.
Tuscan bread, local cheese, some fresh vegetables.
And maybe that bottle of wine you picked up at the vineyard earlier.

There isn’t much to “do” here.
And that’s exactly the point.

Here, you remember what it feels like to simply be — without rushing, without planning, without filling every moment.

Choosing La Casa sul Sentiero isn’t just about being close to famous towns.
It’s about being far from everything unnecessary.
It’s the pleasure of returning to a place that asks nothing of you, except that you live in it.
