The gardens
& pool
Set among olive trees, lavender and open views across the Chianti countryside, the gardens at Il Cellese are made for long and unhurried days outdoors.
At the heart of them, the hilltop swimming pool opens onto the Tuscan landscape; a place to swim, read, rest in the shade or simply let the day unfold. Sun loungers, secluded corners and outdoor living spaces invite guests to slow down and let the landscape set the pace.

/ The feeling
The Italian art of
being together
At Il Cellese, life has a way of gathering around the table. Long lunches turn into leisurely afternoons, conversations carry on well into the evening, and the simplest moments become the most memorable. All within the privacy of a house that is entirely yours to share with those closest to you.
The table is only the beginning.
/ The rhythm
No two days are quite the same.
This is how one might unfold at Il Cellese.
The day begins with coffee on the veranda, overlooking the Tuscan hills. Breakfast lingers as the morning unfolds. Some take a swim, others enjoy the sauna, while conversations continue around the table.
The afternoon might bring a massage, a book by the pool or a glass of wine in the shade.
As the light softens, everyone gathers for aperitivo. The pizza oven is lit, dough is rolled, and everyone makes their own pizza. Dinner becomes an occasion in itself, with good wine, shared stories and laughter around the table.
Later, the gathering moves outdoors, around the fire pit. Conversations continue, glasses are refilled, and there is little reason to call it a night.
Nothing is scheduled unless you want it to be.
