Agriturismo Querceto di Castellina
Castellina in Chianti, Siena, Tuscany
Fifteenth-century stone cottages on a family wine and olive estate in Chianti, between Siena and Florence.
Why we love it
A working organic estate rather than a hotel with vines attached — the family make wine, grappa and olive oil, and the cottages are the fifteenth-century farm buildings that came with the land. Self-catering, with kitchens, which is the right arrangement in a part of Italy where the shopping is half the holiday.
Castellina in Chianti sits on the ridge road between Siena and Florence, so both are a short drive and neither is where you will want to spend the afternoon.
Best for: a week of doing very little among vines you can walk into
