As the sun-soaked hills awaken to the golden light of summer, Villa Ardore invites discerning travellers to experience the magic of Tuscany in its most vibrant season. The 500-year-old restored farmhouse, now a luxurious private estate, blends rich history with refined modern elegance. This summer, guests can indulge in curated experiences that celebrate authentic Italian living.

Located in the heart of the renowned Chianti Classico wine region, Villa Ardore offers more than just a destination; it invites you to live the Tuscan dream. Stroll through sun-drenched vineyards and savor outdoor meals under centuries-old olive trees, while connecting with local artisans in their private studios.

Christian Scali and Stephen Lewis, two Tuscan visionaries, restored Villa Ardore with the intent of creating a sanctuary that embodies authenticity and elegance. “We wanted our guests to fall in love with this region the way we did,” the owners explain. “This summer, we are especially excited to invite guests behind the scenes to visit the very artists whose work fills the villa.”
