Tenuta Sovestro is a magical place, where the charm of the farmhouse and history blend with the convenience of technological rooms equipped with every comfort.

We are located in the heart of Chianti halfway between Siena and Florence, a stone's throw from San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Volterra, Certaldo.

The 16 rooms (all equipped with air conditioning and wi-fi) were built in a stone farmhouse from the 1700s surrounded by our vineyards and olive groves.

The historic center of San Gimignano is less than 2 km away and can also be reached with a 30-minute walk on the historic "Via Vecchia per San Gimignano".

At guests' disposal 2 swimming pools, a gym and the Da Pode restaurant which are located about 70m away.

Rates include the buffet breakfast which is served at the restaurant that our family has managed for more than 40 years.

The rooms are part of a farm with approximately 6 hectares of vineyards and 2 hectares of olive groves.

At the estate it is possible to taste our wines and purchase our products.

Rooms and Rates

Breakfast is served at our Restaurant da Pode, located just 60 meters from the estate.

Our buffet features a selection of treats, both sweet and savory, including jams, yogurt, fresh fruit, as well as delicious homemade pastries and local specialties.

You can enjoy a delightful breakfast either inside the restaurant or outside on the terrace, which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding hills.

Since 1985, the Da Pode restaurant has been welcoming guests in an ancient farmhouse in the Sienese countryside, preserving the genuine atmosphere and the warm hospitality that set it apart. The kitchen, passionately led by Mrs. Lucia and her dedicated team, offers classic dishes from the Tuscan tradition, reinterpreted with respect and creativity.

Starters range from local cured meats to bruschetta, from fresh salads to crostini, and even more elaborate specialties like pheasant or Chianina terrine with onion jam. The first courses, all made in-house, celebrate the flavors of the land: gnocchi, ravioli, and pici are served with sauces of wild boar, mushrooms, truffle, or saffron. Traditional peasant dishes such as ribollita, farro soup, and pasta with chickpeas are also featured.

Among the main courses, the carefully selected Fiorentina stands out, accompanied by grilled free-range chicken, truffle sirloin, carpaccios, and iconic dishes like tripe in a clay pot, Livornese-style cod, and stewed chicken. In autumn, porcini mushrooms take center stage on the menu.

The wine list highlights the local area with selected labels, including Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti Colli Senesi from Tenuta Sovestro. Completing the experience is the aromatic extra virgin olive oil produced in-house, obtained through cold pressing.

Hey, I'm Alessia

We are two sisters, Alessia and Barbara Failli, born and raised in San Gimignano, descendants of a family that has run a restaurant and a hotel for generations. In 2017 we realized our dream with the purchase of Tenuta Sovestro, an agricultural company dating back to the 18th century bordering the family property. We created 16 rooms with bathroom in the old farmhouse surrounded by our gardens, our vineyards and our olive trees and we started the production of wines and extra virgin olive oil. Our family owns a good part of a hill at the foot of San Gimignano called Sovestro and it is here that our restaurant da Pode, our hotel Sovestro, our vineyards and olive groves and our small secluded and romantic farmhouse, our Sovestro estate. Our swimming pools are adjacent to the restaurant (where breakfast is also served) about 60 meters away from the Estate. For some this could be seen as an inconvenience, but we see it as an advantage because it allows absolute peace to reign undisturbed around our rooms and the panoramic gardens that surround them. What unites us is a smile and passion. Barbara also takes care of the restaurant and is characterized by tranquility and elegance. Alessia is pure energy and not at home she also takes care of the management of the vineyard and the olive grove. We work with the same people every year and we love to see our company as a big family. Our goal is not to make our guests feel at home, but we want to make them feel like they are on holiday in a Tuscan paradise at the home of friends.
