Heritage
A Living Monument to Italian History
Borgo Castelvecchi's origins date back to 1043, making it one of the most historically significant properties in the Chianti region. For nearly a millennium, this fortified village has stood witness to Tuscan history, its stone walls and medieval architecture preserved through the centuries. The borgo includes an 18th-century Villa that was added during later renovations, seamlessly blending with the original medieval structures. At the heart of the property lies a thousand-year-old wine cellar, a testament to Chianti's enduring winemaking traditions. The 18th-century chapel, though relatively 'modern' by the borgo's standards, adds a sacred and romantic dimension to the estate. Today, this carefully restored medieval village welcomes couples from around the world who seek to celebrate their love story within walls that have witnessed a thousand years of history.
