Gaiole in Chianti
Abbey Agriturismo · Self-Catering
Stay within the grounds of the 11th-century Benedictine abbey that produces some of Chianti Classico’s most elegant wines. Apartments in the converted monks’ quarters sleep two to six, with access to the gardens and the estate’s oil and wine. Cooking courses run by the Stucchi Prinetti family are legendary.
Estate restaurant · Castello di Brolio
Eating within the grounds of Castello di Brolio — one of Italy’s oldest wine estates and the birthplace of modern Chianti — is an experience few dining rooms can rival for sheer historical context.
1 MICHELIN star · Castello di Spaltenna
1 MICHELIN StarThe MICHELIN-starred restaurant within the walls of the 12th-century Castello di Spaltenna is one of the most atmospheric dining rooms in Chianti — stone vaults, candlelight and a cellar of extraordinary depth.
Abbey restaurant · cooking school
The restaurant of the 11th-century abbey estate draws on the kitchen garden, the estate’s own oil and wine, and the Tuscan culinary tradition championed by Lorenza de’ Medici, who made Coltibuono’s cooking school world-famous — the school is still running today.
