Relais
The pristine area of natural beauty and silence makes this place the rare and unique destination that it is. Le Lappe Relais is located in a corner of the Chianti region, Tuscany, where time seems to have stopped. The warm colors of wood and stone blend perfectly with the chestnut and olive trees surrounding the property, rendering the hotel a precious jewel of pure Tuscan experience.
In the seasonal garden, which enjoys an awe-inspiring view of the countryside and frames the two farmhouses, a swimming pool and a heated hydro-massage tub are placed overlooking the valley for your personal relaxation and well-being.
The Origins
It is in the 17th century the last record of the watchtower which was previously located here – as part of the commanding position of observation above the valley. After the partial destruction of the medieval tower in the aftermath of a battle, the structure was converted in to a convent which was later abandoned.
In the 19th century it became a private residence and the owner commissioned the construction of a second building to give as a gift to the woman he loved. At the end of the 20th century the property passed to the family Benini Galeffi, the current owners, who recently converted the two ruined structures into a high quality experience Relais.
