Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo Winery & Resort

A perfect marriage of nature and history, relaxed yet refined, the Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo provides luxury accommodation in a number of handsomely restored centuries-old rural buildings, complemented by a restaurant and gourmet pizzeria, a wellness center with outdoor swimming pool, a riding stables, and an organic farm. Set in its own ample grounds, and designed to satisfy the modern-day traveler’s demand for authentic experiences, the Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo is watched over by a 14th-century Abbey, dedicated to the saints James and Philip, from whom the Tenuta takes its name. The fruit of a loving and meticulous restoration of an eighteenth-century farming hamlet in the lush heart of the Montefeltro area of the Marche region of central Italy, the Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo is set in a nature reserve just 10 km (six miles) from Urbino, the home town of the Renaissance painter Raphael.
