Belvedere di San Leonino  

Perched in the heart of the Chianti hills in Castellina in Chianti, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees. The hotel enjoys a 360° panorama toward Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra and is about 6 km from Castellina’s center — roughly 15 minutes to Siena and about 50 minutes to Florence, with the Tyrrhenian coast a little over an hour away. Within reach for day trips to Florence sights like Piazzale Michelangelo, Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio.

A Tuscan-style hideaway with 28 rooms clad in rustic furniture, terracotta floors and old beamed ceilings. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with minibars, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, safes, coffee/tea makers and private bathrooms with showers and bidets.
