Chains of hills crowned by castles and dotted with farmhouses; vineyards and olive groves alternating with luxuriant woods and cultivated fields; small ancient villages appearing behind any corner: that is the Chianti region, certainly one of the charming places in Italy.

Bordering with Florence on the north and with Siena on the south, the Chianti region is divided into Florentine Chianti and Sienese Chianti. The former includes the municipalities of Greve in Chianti and Barberino Val d`Elsa, and stretches over part of Valdarno, Val d`Elsa, Val di Pesa and a small part of Chianti.

Actually, the real Chianti region, the one you imagine when you close your eyes, corresponds to Sienese Chianti, which, from a traditional vinicultural point of view, includes the municipalities of Radda, Castellina and Gaiole in Chianti.

However, wherever you will go in this magic region, you will be fascinated by its natural and rural landscape. The hills are the characteristic feature of the region, what makes Chianti unique, with the colours changing with the cycle of the seasons and the high cypresses that border the roads. A landscape dotted with small villages, the typical Chianti villas and ancient farmhouses that have been converted into holiday farms or hotels ready to welcome tourists and offer them a great stay on the hills of the Tuscan countryside.
