Casali
Della Aiola - Vagliagli
The Chianti
hills surround this charming B&B, where vineyards roll right
to your door. Fifteen minutes north of Siena, the Aiola history
reaches back to the 13th century, when it was a stronghold on the
road to Florence. A junior suite and seven double rooms are all
housed in ancient stone farm buildings. Terra-cotta floors, with
whitewashed walls and beamed ceilings, combine with lovely
reproduction armoires and beds to create a feeling of "la
vita Toscana". Guests may savor one of the many varietals
produced at the Fattoria in the common living room, and enjoy
breakfast overlooking the countryside.
Borgo
Argenina - Argenina
Argenina is a
small, medieval village whose name comes from the boundary ("argenina")
between Chianti and Berardenga. As early as 998 AD., the it was
mentioned as the property of noble Ricasoli Firidolfi family.
After years of neglect, the buildings were purchased by Elena
Nappa, who came here after a career in styling in Milan. After
countless hours of her own labor and that of her craftsmen,
Argenina, with its avenue of cypresses, has now returned to its
former beauty. Four double rooms and two apartments are contained
in several houses, each decorated in an endearing country style.
With a location only 20 minutes from Siena, excursions to San
Gimignano, Cortona, Perugia, and Assisi are possible.
Borgo
Pretale - Sovicille
Created within
the walls of a 12th century village, the Borgo Pretale is a place
of serenity and repose. A medieval watchtower stands over a mix of
ancient structures that now contain 35 guest rooms. Those in the
tower are furnished with antiques and designer fabrics,
coordinated by a skilled decorators eye. The rooms in the cottages
feature a more rustic style, while still continuing to offer all
amenities and comfort. Even a two bedroom apartment is available;
a welcome option for families. In addition, a restaurant serves
traditional Tuscan cuisine, using local ingredients and produce.
After dinner, guests may gather in the lounge and enjoy a roaring
fire. During the summer months, a tennis court and swimming pool
are also available.
