The historic fattoria (farmhouse) of this wine estate has its very own chapel and bell tower, which reveal themselves after you brave a long, rutted access road. You'll also find glorious views, a large swimming pool and a nearby eatery. Sleep in rustic en suite rooms in the fattoria. Find it 4km from Badia a Passignano.
