Villa la Cappella
Where attention to detail has become the guiding principle

Villa La Cappella dates back to the XII century. It stands on the historic Aliano hill, surrounded by a 7.000 square meter park filled with ancient cypress trees. You reach it by taking a panoramic country road, Via Lucardese, known as "The Wine Road". It wanders among the hills and vineyards from Montespertoli and brings you to the medieval towns of Certaldo and San Gimignano. At La Capella Hotel and Residence attention to detail has become the guiding principle. That hallmark is revealed throughout, in the care of its guests, in the authentic elegance of its furnishings, in choice of colours and materials that distinguish its incomparable interior and exterior decor

The great hall leads to the dining area on the terrace with a spectacular view over the park and Chianti countryside. An elevator to the first and second floors brings you to the six apartments and the en-suites in the Villa La Cappella. Each accommodation has its own heating controls, telephone, satellite TV and a safe for valuables. WiFi computer access is available on the first floor apartments and in the bar. The elegant decor and atmosphere of each apartment is unique to it.

Our big outdoor pool (50 by 24 feet is surrounded by sunning patios with panoramic views. Children have a separate pool only two feet in depth. The pools are open from the beginning of May until middle of October. Airport transfers to and from Pisa and Florence are provided for guests on request. A rental car (classic Mini Cooper convertible) is available at the Villa La Cappella premises.

In our beautiful park is located a children's playground with ping pong.

In the 18th century a small chapel was built in the middle of the fortified Villa in Aliano park so, as was customary at that time, the family would have a suitable resting place for their deceased. In the course of the time, a larger house replaced the small chapel to provide living quarters for the overseer of the estate.

In 1821, the property was enlarged to the size seen today. All during the 20th century it was home to three different farm families. The adjacent building has served as a country school for nearly 100 years. The Tinalli family purchased the property and, starting in 1988, have personally been renovating the buildings and grounds with passion and love.
