The Chianti region is located in the very heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena. The word itself is enough to evoke suggestive landscapes made of gentle hills and valleys covered in vineyards and olive groves, scattered with tall cypresses, farmhouses and medioeval villages . Chianti is not a pleasure for the eyes only though, but for the palate as well: its famous wines , celebrated all around the world, perfectly match the typical meals of the region. All this and much more makes the Chianti the ideal place to spend a holiday in Tuscany among nature, history and ancient traditions.
The Chianti area is all for you to explore following many different paths: the roads sided by tall cypresses reveal surprises behind every bending. The old villages of the " Chianti Fiorentino " ( Florentine Chianti ) such as Greve, Impruneta and Barberino and of the " Chianti Senese " ( Sienese Chianti ) such as Radda, Gaiole and Castellina have enchanting views to offer you; the farm holidays and the Chianti villas are ready to welcome you and provide you the most suitable location to fully live this region.
Although wine is the diamond point of the Chianti production, among the top notch products there is oil also and a gamut of local products that you can learn to appreciate during your stay, one tasting after the other.
And what about the history of this region?
