The following recommendations are specially crafted for those who don't want to travel far but are keen on an active and emotion-filled holiday in Chianti.

So, you've arrived at our home and are ready to set off:

To a winery
You can walk to Mauricio Brogioni or Altiero - these estates are just uphill from us, so carrying a box of wine back down will be easy and enjoyable. A bit further away, you'll find Podere Bucine, Le Palaie - visiting these wineries will also be a delightful walk.

To a cooking class
Nearby, our culinary wizard Gian Luca conducts cooking classes in the kitchen of his ancient home. Write to him to prepare something special.

On a hike through the hills
Our home sits at the highest point of the circular Slow Road route, so you can step out of the house and return in about an hour or two with a full camera and a heart full of impressions.

To a restaurant
Several delightful places are nearby: La Castellana, L'Desio, Il Guerrino. People come here from Greve and struggle to find parking, but you can walk there in 15 minutes. Another lunch idea is a vineyard lunch, for example, at Altiero.

To a historical site
Close to us is one of Chianti's gems - the medieval borgo Montefioralle, listed among the 100 most beautiful borghi in Italy.
