Chianti Country Ride


Chianti Country Ride
Tuscany Italy

The farmstead of S. Margherita, built at the end of the nineteenth century and home of the Chianti riding centre and farm, is situated in the senese Chianti in the centre of the Siena, Florence, Arezzo triangle.
Surrounded by meadows and woods, with a view of a mediaeval castle, the farm is in the rare position to offer its guests the silence of nature, the sound of birdsong, the neighing of horses and rushing of the river flowing.
Here you are welcomed to a week in rural Chianti country surrounded by horses, good company and some of the most famous vineyards in Italy.
The scheduled weeks include 4 half day rides with sightseeing and/or Spa time in the afternoons and a 2 day trail that will take you to just outside of the medieval town of Siena. Of course there will be wine tasting options, relaxation and if you like - a night out in Siena.  
Riding Holiday weeks:
If you cannot make it for the scheduled weeks, you can chose any week of the year and opt for the relaxing riding week from the center with daily half day rides or tuition. We recommend you rent a car, because the sightseeing options are many: A wine tasting of the famous Brunello in Montalcino is only 40 minutes away. If culture and history call you, the medieval town of Sienca is only a 20 minute drive from the riding center - go explore and take in the ancient atmosphere of the duomo and the plaza. If you time it right, you can even be part of the Palio horse race in Siena - what a specatacle.
The excellent tuition that is available to you every monring for 2 hours (more if you like). Donatella Zambon is an accomplished equestrian and has taught hundreds of riders both beginners and advanced. She chooses and prepares her horses personally: once trained they are never sold.
Non Riders:  The location of the farm makes it an ideal base for cycling and hiking, and for those who wish to mix cultural tourism with outdoor pursuits.
