| Location |
|
|
|
Tuscany's most famous area never fails to please: the landscape is spectacular, the food delicious and there is something of interest around every corner. The nearest shops are in the wee hamlet of Vagliagli, 2km/1 mile, or the pretty fortified town of Castellina-in-Chianti, 15 minutes. 15 minutes to the south is Siena with its glorious Campo. Hundreds of villages and wineries to visit on foot, by bicycle or by car, and three of Italy’s finest hill towns for excursions: Monteriggioni, 25 minutes, San Gimignano, 45 minutes, and Volterra, 1 hour.
