From the flagstoned terrace of Elena Nappa's new hilltop B&B (she bought the whole medieval hamlet), you can see the farmhouse where Bertolucci filmed Stealing Beauty in 1996.
Against remarkable odds (she'll regale you with the anecdotes), she has created the rural retreat of her (and your) dreams. When you arrive, you'll likely find Elena upstairs next to a roaring fire in the kitchen, sewing. Elena's design talents (she was a fashion stylist in Milan) are amazing, and the guest rooms boast antique wrought-iron beds, deluxe mattresses, handmade quilts, hand-stitched lace curtains, and timeworn terra-cotta tiles. The bathrooms are made to look old-fashioned, though the plumbing is modern. Since the place isn't easy to find, English-speaking Elena will fax you directions when you reserve. In addition to four doubles, Elena offers accommodation in two suites, two small houses (for two or three people), and the Villa Oliviera (for four people). When faced with all the questions foreign guests often inundate her with when booking (Do you have air-conditioning? Is there parking? How much of a deposit do I need to make?), Elena replies, "Don't worry. Just come!" Good advice.
Karen Brown's Review Of This Property:
Borgo Argenina has all the elements of a “bestseller” bed and breakfast: the perfect location in the heart of Chianti surrounded by vineyards, very comfortable accommodation in an ancient stone farmhouse, glorious countryside views, and, above all, Elena, the Borgo Argenina’s gregarious hostess. She left behind a successful fashion business in Milan and bought an entire abandoned village, restoring two of the stone houses for herself and the bed and breakfast. She chose the best artisans in the area and literally worked with them to create the house of her dreams. Everything from painting stenciled borders in rooms through restoring furniture to sewing quilted bedspreads was executed exclusively by Elena herself.
The downstairs living rooms and breakfast room are beautifully done in rich cream and soft yellows that complement perfectly the brick-vaulted ceilings and terra-cotta floors. Elena is up at dawn baking cakes for breakfast and makes occassional dinners for the guests accompanied by classical music. Every little detail has been attended to in the pink-and-blue bedrooms adorned with white eyelet curtains, patchwork quilts, and dried flower arrangements. Across the way is a very comfortable three-bedroom, independent house.
