PODERE MELLO - TOSCANA – GAIOLE IN CHIANTI (SIENA)
Podere Mello is located just a few kilometres from Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of the world renowned region of good cuisine and top quality wine. The property, originally a fortified monastery, is situated on top of a hill and, being a former outlook post, has an incredible panorama that sweeping from the top of Mount Amiata to Siena and on to the distant Apuan Alps. Podere Mello is an old settlement composed of 3 buildings built entirely in stone: the main house, the annex and the deconsecrated church of San Lorenzo a Mello, built in 1100 AD and originally the seat of the village fete, in which are to be found two paleochristian sculptures. The large park invites you to take long walks in close contact with nature while the splendid outside veranda with built in barbecue is the ideal place for pleasant “al fresco” dining.
