This Centuries-old Tuscan Village Is Home to the Best Wine Resort in Italy-With Idyllic Vineyards, Wine-based Spa Treatments, and Olive Groves

"The 685-acre estate is spread out across a group of centuries-old stone buildings, with a Michelin-starred restaurant, a casual osteria, a bar, an outdoor pool, two tennis courts, a gym, a spa in an old olive oil mill, a vegetable garden, and vineyards. Essentially, it's the quintessential Tuscan resort where guests are invited to slow down and embrace the rhythms of nature amid the rolling hills and olive groves."

"From 1700 to 1978, it was owned by the noble Grisaldi del Taja family from Siena, which tended the land. Giulia Grisaldi del Taja was one of the founding members of the Corsorzio del Chianti Classico (the governing body for the iconic wines) established in 1924. And though the family is no longer involved, the current owners still cultivate vineyards in three of Tuscany's most prestigious wine areas: Chianti, Montalcino, and Bolgheri."

"Not only can guests staying at Borgo San Felice sample the wines at tastings in the wine cellar and the restaurants, but they can also detox with the signature wine treatments at the spa, which make use of the grapes' natural antioxidants. Cooking classes, e-biking through the vineyards, hot air balloon rides, and zipping around the country roads in a Ferrari are also on offer."
