Gaiole in Chianti
Medieval Castle · Agriturismo
Authentic and wonderfully atmospheric — a working medieval castle with rooms in the converted outbuildings and one unforgettable suite within the 11th-century tower itself. The estate produces its own Chianti Classico, and the views from the tower over the valley are remarkable. One of the most honest and characterful places to stay in the zone.
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.
