At Borgo del Cabreo Relais di Charme, every detail reflects meticulous care and passion: from the irregular oak plank parquet floors finished with wax, to white Carrara marble, kaolin tiles, bespoke art in the rooms, and pure linen fabrics. Here, elegance and beauty are complemented by a welcoming staff dedicated to tailoring your stay—offering personalized experiences like wine and food tastings, music events, and cooking classes.
Set seamlessly in the surrounding nature, the Borgo showcases the refined taste of its hosts, blending restored local antiques with contemporary design crafted by skilled artisans.
Within this peaceful setting, there’s room for every interest: sweeping views that invite relaxation, lush lawns for lounging, secluded meditation spaces, trails for walking, running, cycling or horseback riding, and a stunning heated pool to enjoy a swim or cool breeze overlooking Montefioralle, one of Italy’s most beautiful medieval villages. Guests can also enjoy four cozy relaxation lounges, a small gym, and a breakfast room housed in the old barn with a panoramic terrace over rolling hills.
Nestled in these gentle landscapes are some of Tuscany’s most charming towns and cities, perfect for exploring history and culture. Just a few kilometers away is Greve in Chianti, one of Chianti’s gems, famous for its unique square lined by porticoes and artisan shops.
No experience of a Tuscan summer would be complete without its wines. The Borgo sits in the heart of Chianti Classico, renowned for its prestigious wines, among the vineyards of the Cabreo Estate, where the acclaimed Cabreo wines are crafted. These vines yield grapes for some of the Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute’s exceptional labels, including the Supertuscan Cabreo il Borgo—a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese—Black Pinot Nero Toscana IGT, and La Pietra Chardonnay Toscana IGT.
Borgo del Cabreo Relais di Charme has been celebrated by both Italian and international guests year after year. Building on this reputation, Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute will soon unveil another exceptional property: La Pietra Relais di Charme, opening in spring 2021, following the restoration of another rural complex within the Cabreo estate. Here too, only local materials and traditional building methods are used to preserve the landscape, and all furnishings and fabrics are crafted by local artisans, heirs to Florence’s rich tradition of arts and crafts.
Borgo del Cabreo Relais di Charme is a truly exclusive retreat, designed as an albergo diffuso to offer spacious privacy in the heart of the Cabreo Estate in Zano, Greve in Chianti: 450,000 sqm of fertile, flourishing land entirely devoted to vineyards. The guests’ garden is enriched with Mediterranean plants, filling the air with scents and colors, and boasts an elegant panoramic pool with views over the surrounding vines.
The Relais is the ideal spot for those dreaming of Tuscany in a setting defined by the Folonari family’s exceptional hospitality: 4 buildings house 7 spacious rooms and 4 suites where glass and marble are harmoniously paired with the typical wood of Tuscan farmhouses—each accommodation unique and comfortable, overlooking the village square and soft, descending rows of vines.
