\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]During one of the many summer holidays spent in a Villa just a few kilometers from Radda in Chianti; Karl noticed 2 old ruins on the other side of the valley. After investigations to who they belonged to they managed to acquire them along with a few hectares of vines and lots of woodland.<\/span>
\nThis is where the adventure began! Employing a local Architect, English\/Italian Chris Jakusconek the plans and the dreams began.<\/span>
\nRenovations started first on Kristine\u2019s house, the beautiful Villa Pianvecchio, finished and brought back to former glory in 2019.<\/span>
\nCastiglioni, is actually a small hamlet, that has now been lovingly restored complete with its former tower. Completed in 2020.<\/span>
