Chianti, the area in which
Chianti Classico wine has been produced for centuries is that part of
Tuscany that is bordered to the north by the suburbs of
Florence, to the east by the Chianti Mountains, to the south by the city of
Siena and to the west by the valleys of the Pesa and Elsa rivers. It is a land of
ancient traditions that was civilized in remote periods first by the Etruscans, who left many traces of their activity in the wine sector, and then by the Romans. In the Middle Ages, the cities of Florence and Siena battled for control over the zone.
Villages and monasteries, castles and fortresses appeared during that period and many of them were later transformed into villas and country residences when times were more tranquil. It was then that spaces were cleared in the vast forests of chestnuts and oaks for the cultivation of vines and olive trees.
Here, in this
peaceful and relaxing country-side, you can find a wide number of
country hotels, bed and breakfast, Farm Guest Houses. Their charm is given by the ability to restore old farms, Castles and noble Villas. A fascinating choice among a large number of
first quality charming hotels.
