| Location |
|
|
|
Lamole, 5km/3 miles from the villa, is a tiny village in the heart of the Chianti Classico area consisting of a church, a bar, a small shop and a very, very good restaurant. A truly lovely 15km/9-mile drive brings you to Greve-in-Chianti where the local cooperativo offers tastings of all the area’s wines and olive oils - and, more practically, several bank, post office and pharmacy. You could spend a month touring Chianti - on foot, by bicycle or by car - without ever visiting the same village or winery twice. It’s a 45-minute run to Florence or Siena, slightly less to the famous factory outlets near Incisa Val d’Arno, slightly more to the much-photographed towers of medieval San Gimignano.
