A hilltop village with views across Tuscany

Ripostena is a small hilltop village set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by woods yet just a short distance from Siena, San Gimignano, Florence and the Chianti wine region.

Whether it is walking through the private woods, spending time in the lavender fields or enjoying a swim in the infinity pool overlooking the Chianti hills and the towers of San Gimignano, the setting invites you to slow down and stay awhile.

Open from April to November, with minimum stays ranging from 2 to 4 nights depending on the season, it is a place for those looking to spend time in a setting where landscape and history come together.

Experiencing the place beyond the stay

Guests are encouraged to explore the surrounding area, from smaller villages and local artisans to lesser visited places, keeping value within the local community. On request, the team can arrange tastings of local products, visits to small and educational farms and custom wine tours across the Chianti and Brunello regions. Cooking classes and horseback riding offer a more hands on way to experience the region, whether in the Montagnola Senese nature park, along the Via Francigena or across the landscapes of Chianti and Val d’Elsa.

History and culture within its walls

Made up of restored buildings with 10 apartments and an independent villa, each space was once part of the original farmstead, now carefully brought back to life. Each apartment has its own entrance and private outdoor area, giving you your own space while still being part of the wider setting. Locally sourced materials define the spaces, with much of the restoration focused on reusing and repurposing existing elements. Local craftsmanship plays a central role, ensuring the architecture remains true to the region while offering comfort for modern stays.

A holistic way to experience the region

Time here is spent between nearby villages, countryside walks and moments within the village itself, without rushing from one place to the next. That same approach is reflected in how the property operates, from solar energy and rainwater irrigation to waste separation, reduced plastic use and ecological cleaning practices, ensuring the experience remains in balance with the environment.

Story Behind Ripostena

In 1989, while looking for a country home, Alberto arrived at what was then an abandoned hilltop village, and from that moment, a love story that would last more than 30 years began.

What followed was 6 years of restoration work, carried out with the help of local artisans to preserve the rural character of the place.

What began as one person’s conviction slowly became a shared family project. Today, that same connection continues. Ripostena is not just a restored village, but part of a family’s history, a place passed down and shared across generations.

Our Easter weekend stay at Ripostena Country House was nothing short of exceptional. From Thursday to Sunday, we enjoyed the serene beauty of this quaint Tuscan home, which was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. As someone who manages my businesses around the clock, having fast, reliable internet in such a rustic and peaceful setting was a massive plus, I was able to stay fully connected without missing a beat. The absolute highlight of our trip, however, was the owner, Martina. She is an amazing host and went above and beyond by preparing a spectacular Easter Brunch that we will not soon forget. If you are looking for a beautiful retreat with outstanding hospitality and modern necessities, I highly recommend Ripostena.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Ripostena Country House and wow, what a great holiday we had there! Incredibly friendly people, Martina and Giuseppe, super helpful! First of all, the cottage had an amazing view and was in perfect order, hygienic, and nothing was lacking. We were also able to charge our electric car perfectly, which is definitely a plus in this region! We will certainly be back! Thanks Martina and Giuseppe
