Agriturismo La Casina di Setriolo
The Setriolo farm holiday accommodation, which its owners affectionately call “La Casina (Little House)”, has been created in a recently renovated typical barn close to the main house. It is situated in the farm gardens and surrounded by vineyards, as well as olive groves, cypress trees and roses.
On fine days it is possible to relax under the large veranda, enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or cook a meal on one of the outdoor barbeques.
The quiet and peaceful atmosphere created here at the Casina, where there is neither television nor telephone, ensures that visitors can fully enjoy a holiday in the country.
The interior furnishing is simple and rustic. Vaulted wooden ceilings, terracotta floors and a huge fireplace in the living room, perfect for social occasions, complete its Tuscan architecture. Guests can visit the cities of Siena and Florence in the close vicinity or go for long walks in the midst of the Tuscan countryside.

The visitor who arrives at the property passes a series of familiar names, those of estates and sites of Lilliano and Capraia which have made the name of Chianti Classico in both national and international markets.
The Soderi family, winegrowers from the early 1900’s and owners of Setriolo since 1989, once sold the grapes to other houses but decided, intelligently, in 2005 to begin fermenting, aging, and bottling them on their own, with results which have been, to say the least, satisfying. As is proper for a small operation of this sort, the line is short but sweet.
A Chianti Classico, a Chianti Classico Riserva, and a limited-edition blend of Sangiovese and Merlot. All expressive and well prepared under the watchful eye of oenologist Gioia Cresti, herself from these parts.
