Set with in a restored 16th-century medieval village, Chapter Chianti will open its doors in June 2026, marking the second property in the Chapter Italia portfolio.
Bringing Marco Cilia’s bold vision of contemporary Italian hospitality to the rolling hills of Tuscany, the 82-room property reimagines the traditional Tuscan retreat with the help of South African designer Tristan Du Plessis of Studio A. The historic hamlet has been transformed into a design-forward destination that challenges convention while respecting heritage.
Rather than leaning into terracotta and antiques, Du Plessis employs clean architectural lines, exposed stone, sculptural lighting and modern Italian design pieces to create spaces that feel more urban lifestyle hotel than countryside retreat, yet remain deeply connected to the landscape and history of the site.
Chapter Chianti features three restaurants and three bars celebrating both Tuscan tradition and international flavours, alongside a 500-square-metre spa that promotes wellness as a communal experience. Curated activities immerse guests in authentic Tuscan life through truffle hunting, olive oil harvesting and mountain biking, hiking, star gazing. The Mansion, a five-bedroom villa with a private pool, outdoor entertainment space offers the ultimate secluded escape.
