Gaiole in Chianti
Small Luxury Hotels of the World · 12th-Century Castle
A Romanesque pieve and castle complex transformed into one of the zone’s most intimate luxury hotels, with some 38 rooms. Il Pievano, holder of one MICHELIN star under chef Antonio Iacoviello, draws guests from across Tuscany; the cellar is exceptional. Rooms in the converted castle buildings retain thick stone walls and remarkable stillness.
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.
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.
